     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.

       84.  The sun's radiation applies an outward force on very small
            particles  orbiting the sun. Particles less than 100,000th
            of a centimeter in diameter should have been ''blown out''
            of  the  solar system if the solar system were billions of
            years old. These particles are still orbiting the sun [a].
            Conclusion: the solar system is young.

                (New York: Pergamon Press, Inc., 1975), p. 90.

       85.  Since 1836, over one hundred different  observers  at  the
            Royal Greenwich Observatory and the U.S. Naval Observatory
            have made DIRECT visual measurements  that  indicate  that
            the  sun's  diameter  is  shrinking at a rate of about .1%
            each century or about five  feet  per  hour!  Furthermore,
            records   of  solar  eclipses  indicate  that  this  rapid
            shrinking has been going on for  at  least  the  past  400
            years  [a].  Several INDIRECT techniques also confirm this
            gravitational collapse, although these  inferred  collapse
            rates  are  only about 1/7th as much [b,c]. Using the most
            conservative data, one must  conclude  that  had  the  sun
            existed  a  million years ago, it would have been so large
            that it would have heated the  earth  so  much  that  life
            could  not  have  survived.  Yet, evolutionists say that a
            million years ago all  the  present  forms  of  life  were
            essentially  as  they  are  now,  having  completed  their
            evolution that began a THOUSAND million years ago.
