I’m starting a new series on why the Earth is not Billions of Years Old, but yet in fact is roughly 6,000 years old.
What you see in the picture above is a Supernova ring. This picture was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. When a star explodes it’s called a nova or supernova. This happens roughly every 20-30 years, but for argument‘s sake, we’ll say 50 years, according to Space.com. When a star blows up it leaves supernova “rings“. But the problem for Evolutionists and Astronomers who believe the Earth is 4.6 Billion Years Old and the Milky Way is roughly 14 billion years old, is that, there are only roughly 200-250 of these rings. This would be COMPLETELY INCONSISTENT with the Billions of years model. But it fits perfectly with the Young Earth model. Now if supernova happens every 50 years and there are around 200-250 of these rings, then that means that the Galaxy has to be approximately 12,500 years old, but I’ll be conservative again with this measurement, let’s say 13,000 Years. That is still WAY younger than what most people will say the Galaxy is.
I was reading a blogpost the other day, claiming that few supernova rings do not indicate a young Galaxy. His first argument was,
“First, almost no astronomer says that a supernova should occur in our galaxy once every 25 years. Rather, the canonical number is about 1 every 100 years”
Ok, let’s say they don’t CLAIM that a supernova occurs every 20-30 years, but the factor of “1 every 100 years” is ridiculous, and immediately disproven by the website “Space.com” which states,
“On average, a supernova will occur about once every 50 years in a galaxy the size of the Milky Way. Put another way, a star explodes every second or so somewhere in the universe, and some of those aren't too far from Earth.”
So that article says 50 YEARS not 100 years. Thankfully the guy who published that post later admits that it’s closer to 50 years.
Later his second argument is,
“The galaxy is about 100,000 light-years across. Doing a simple calculation of the area of a disk 10,000 light-years vs. 100,000 light-years (but 50,000 light-years in radius) yields an area of our galaxy about 25 times larger that we can NOT survey for supernova remnants vs. what we can.”
Ok, I get it, this was posted BACK in 2008 and science has improved since then, we are in 2019 after all, or whenever you are reading this, but his claim is that we can’t observe the entire Galaxy to say there are only 200-250 SNRs. Well, if you look earlier in this article you’ll see the article from space.com
“On average, a supernova will occur about once every 50 years in a galaxy the size of the Milky Way...”
So in a GALAXY the SIZE OF THE MILKY WAY (roughly 53,000 light years) a supernova occurs every 50 years, saying, IN THE ENTIRE MILKY WAY GALAXY a supernova occurs every 50 years. So that claim from the blog post is eliminated.
His last argument is,
“Supernova remnants fade! They only are visible for a few tens of thousands of years. What does this mean for our estimate of 1,000,000 years for the age of our galaxy? Well, by the time the “oldest” supernova is fading, we starting to observe supernova 200!”
Now this is a clear example of Circular Reasoning. Proving the Galaxy is more than hundreds of thousands of years by using, hundreds of thousands of years. Yawn, curcular reasoning. But this is finally the only thing in his post that agrees with the science websites,
“SNR do fade away and eventually become invisible. The time for this to happen is on the order of tens of thousands to a hundred thousand years.” -Cornell University 2003
However, are we not all stardust accoriding to National Geographic, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, and Lawrence Krauss, how come the stardust in us has not faded yet? Because that is what a SNR is, star dust.
“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.” -Lawrence Krauss
“The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecules on Earth. And we are atomically connected to all atoms in the universe. We are not figuratively, but literally stardust.” -Neil DeGrasse Tyson
“Heavy elements are only produced in supernovae, so all of us carry the remnants of these distant explosions within our own bodies.” -National Geographic
This is a real fascinating topic to write and talk about, I hope you guys enjoyed this article, please like, share, and comment.
