(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. 51. Computer simulations of the motions of spiral galaxies show them to be highly unstable; they should completely change their shape in only a small fraction of the assumed age of the universe [a]. The simplest explanation for why so many spiral galaxies exist, including our own Milky Way Galaxy, is that they and the universe are much younger than has been assumed. a) David Fleischer, ''The Galaxy Maker,'' SCIENCE DIGEST, October 1981, Vol. 89, pp. 12ff. 52. If the sun, when it first began to radiate, had any nonnuclear sources of energy, they would have been depleted in much less that ten million years. Theory [a] and experiment [b] indicate that today nuclear reactions are not the predominant energy source for the sun. Our star, the sun, must therefore be young (less than ten million years old). If the sun is young, then so is the earth. a) A.B. Severny, V.A. Kotov, and T.T. Tsap, NATURE, Vol. 259, 15 January 1976, pp. 87-89. b) Paul M.

Detailed analyses indicate that stars could not have formed from interstellar gas clouds. To do so, either by first forming dust particles [a,b] or by direct gravitational collapse of the gas, would require vastly more time than the alleged age of the universe. An obvious alternative is that stars were created. a) Harwit, ASTROPHYSICAL CONCEPTS (New York: John C.
