Backwards Comet

My daughter and I have been reading Inspired Evidence, Only One Reality by Julie Von Vett and Bruce Malone for our morning jump start for school. It is written in the form of a daily devotional and it's main focus is Science.

September 10th's entry really got our 'geek' going. The subject matter is Cosmology and the topic was evidence for the formation of the Universe by our Creator God.

The widely accepted theory for the beginning of the Universe is the Big Bang Theory; The Nebula Hypothesis is the widely accepted theory for the formation of the Solar System and Planetary Bodies, both are heavily set in the evolutionary belief system.

The Nebula Theory in a nutshell
"In this model, a giant cloud in space made up of mainly spinning, ionized gas with a magnetic field is believed to have pulled together by gravity into the sun, planets and other objects in our solar system." 

In order for this model to work, the results should show the planetary objects orbiting in the same direction. 

The discovery of a comet defying the Nebular Hypothesis gave astrophysicists a puzzling dilemma. This iconoclast is called 'Dracula' (2008 KV42) and it was orbiting backwards around the sun, something that should not be possible according to the widely held theory. At first the scientists thought they were mistaken but another backwards orbiting comet was showing supportive evidence that what they were seeing was not a single anomaly, it's name is 2002- XU93.

This information (although old in the science world, but new to me) makes this science nerd really excited.  First, there are holes in the Nebula Theory that when scrutinized only helps point towards a creation model; one of which is, The Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum. The law can be described by the movement of spinning.  When a dancer or ice skater begins to spin with open arms (the birth of a spin) it is a slow movement, as they keep turning (youth) they bring their arms closer into their body causing the spin to speed up and the radius of the circle to become smaller. If the formation of the Solar System began with a large cloud of dust spinning and using gravity to create planetary bodies the result should be fast spinning bodies. For general information, scientists believe the Sun to be a slow rotating body and the planets faster rotating bodies in a Universe thought to be very old; in order for that statement to be fact according to the Nebula Theory, the Sun should be on a faster rotation schedule.  (For further detailed explanation on this matter click here)

All this information just makes my head swim, thoughts are pinging off my brain at an amazing speed, there is so much to write about concerning the realm of Science, but I'll refrain and save that for another post. 

If you clicked on all the links and read the material, I hope you can see the evidence points strongly towards the honesty found in Hebrews 11:3- " BY FAITH, we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible." 

I am rejoicing in Psalms 33:9 - "for He SPOKE, and it came to be; He commanded and it stood firm."
