I ran across this article about Pluto. If you haven't heard, there has been a lot of hype about the images of the planet Pluto from the New Horizons space probe. Dr. Danny Fulkner of answersingenesis.org reports that the researchers have found very few craters on the planet.This is significant because space scientists believe that old planets have a lot of craters from the debris floating in space. And if the planet has existed since the big bang and if the solar system were 4.5 billion years old as many proclaim, the planet should have been hit hundreds or thousands of times, thus showing the age of the planet.
Some planets have active volcanos, such as the ones on Jupiters moon Io, which cover up craters, but Pluto does not have such volcanic activity. If the facts are true, this easily leads to a conclusion that Mission scientist John Spencer stated that "Pluto has a very young surface."
In Genesis, God said he made the heavens and the earth in six literal 24-hour days, with mankind being created on the sixth day. And with the historical record of the Bible, this points to a young universe that is only a few thousand years old. More often than not, science actually supports the Bible. I trust the Bible. Do you??
