Hebrews 11:3
"A new large gas-giant planet, the size of Neptune, has been found
‘too close’ to its parent star, which is why astronomers were shocked to discover it.
---According to known planetary formation theory, it just shouldn’t exist. To add to that, it has been determined to have a mass 20 times that of Earth and a surface temperature of about 1,000°C. No wonder it has been dubbed the ‘Forbidden Planet’ that would “melt a human in under a second”.
---Being as hot as it is, if it were tens of millions of years old as evolutionary theory suggests, then, being mostly gas, this should have nearly completely evaporated from the strong, hot radiation from the nearby star.
--The research leader, Dr Richard West from the University of Warwick, explained: “This planet must be tough, it is right in the zone where we expected Neptune-sized planets could not survive.”
--But there it is anyway! This should surely cause a rethink in the standard model of planetary formation theory.
A simple explanation is that it is not so old, and that the Creator is responsible for the wide variety He has placed in the heavens."
