Astronomy is the science of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere (such as auroras and cosmic background radiation). The word astronomy literally means "law of the stars" and is derived from Greek. [4.] What is a supernova remnant? It is a plasma made up of the materials left behind by the gigantic explosion of a star in a supernova. There are two possible scenarios for this to occur. First, a massive star may cease to generate fusion energy in its core, and collapse inward under the force of its own gravity. Second, a white dwarf star may accumulate material from a companion star until it reaches a critical mass and undergoes a thermonuclear explosion. If these explosions have happened over millions of years (some estimate one every 25 years), then we should be able to detect millions of these remnants in our galaxy. Most of these would be detectable as in the final stage, where only the heat energy of the explosion is apparent. They claim that if it remains detectable for 55,000 years, then doing the math, we should have 2,200 supernova remnants. He breaks it down further, saying that if we could only detect half, then we should have found 1,100. He then lays the bomb...we have only detected 200, which is far fewer than expected, and therefore is indicative of a young earth. [1.] The
evolutionists current major theory offered for how the universe
“evolved “ is the Big Bang theory. This theory proposes that
the entire universe, including the Milky Way galaxy containing
our solar system, exploding from super-hot “point”, some 15
billion years ago. The theory says that the universe continues
to expand, as predicted by solutions to Einstein’s General
Theory of Relativity. [4 Many
creationists accept the Big Bang theory as a description of
“how” God created the universe. They say that this theory
echoes what the Bible says about “the beginning” in Genesis 1.
There are two major groups of creationists: “old-earth”
creationists and “young-earth” creationists. Both groups believe
that God set up the laws of physics to allow the universe to run
in a predictable way.
