     THE SCIENTIFIC CASE FOR CREATION: 116 CATEGORIES OF EVIDENCE

I.  (Life Sciences): THE THEORY OF ORGANIC EVOLUTION IS INVALID.  (See
    1-36.)

II. (Astronomical Sciences): THE UNIVERSE, THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND  LIFE
    WERE RECENTLY CREATED.

    A.  NATURALISTIC EXPLANATIONS  FOR  THE  EVOLUTION  OF  THE  SOLAR
        SYSTEM   AND   UNIVERSE   ARE   UNSCIENTIFIC   AND  HOPELESSLY
        INADEQUATE. (See 37-56.)

    B.  TECHNIQUES THAT ARGUE FOR AN OLD EARTH ARE EITHER ILLOGICAL OR
        ARE BASED ON UNREASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS. (See 57-67.)

    C.  MOST DATING TECHNIQUES  INDICATE  THAT  THE  EARTH  AND  SOLAR
        SYSTEM ARE YOUNG.

       80.  The moon has a magnetic field and is still warm  [a],  all
            of which indicate that the moon is young.

                Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1975), pp.  175-184.

       81.  As short period comets pass the sun, a small  fraction  of
            their mass vaporizes and forms a long tail. Nothing should
            remain of these comets after about 1000 orbits. There  are
            no  known  sources  for  replenishing comets [a]. In fact,
            gravitational perturbations by the larger planets tend  to
            expel  comets  from  the  solar system [a]. If comets came
            into existence at the same time as the solar  system,  the
            solar system must be less than 10,000 years old [b-e].
