Controversy: God's Heavenly Planets Only Thousands of Years Old

Are Planets Only Thousands of Years Old?
 
3-13-17, Brian Thomas -- Go to a standard planetarium show or watch a television documentary on the solar system and you’ll hear that the planets formed about four and a half billion years ago. However, many evidences favoring recent planet formation counter that idea. 

Each of these evidences contains a clocklike natural process that is still ticking even though it should have gone dead long ago if it began billions of years ago:

1. Saturn’s beautiful rings look bright and clean. Billions of years of space dust should have tarnished the ring’s ice crystals into a dull gray long ago. Saturn’s moon Enceladus continues to jet ice from 101 geysers near its south pole. Secular [aka anti creation of God] astronomers face a challenge in explaining: … why all this material didn’t exit Enceladus millions of years ago? … why this little moon still has enough energy to fuel its many geysers?
2. Some planets and moons emit too much heat to fit the billions-of-years model. Neptune emits twice the heat it receives from the sun, and Enceladus emits some 10 times the heat secular scientists predicted.

If God made Neptune and Enceladus relatively warm in the beginning, they should still have extra heat after only thousands of years—but not billions.
 
Planetary atmospheres also boggle long-age expectations. Researchers recently puzzled over the methane atmosphere around Saturn’s big moon Titan - “A question that remains unanswered  is: "Where is all the methane coming from?”
 
Radiation from the sun permanently converts the methane into larger molecules, mostly ethane. The ethane should have fallen to the surface for millions of years, forming hydrocarbon oceans. But “that turned out to be wrong as well,” they wrote. Titan’s youthful atmosphere still has plenty of methane.
 
Even one of the many newfound, very distant extrasolar planets—named GJ 1214b—challenges secular scenarios. Some astronomers believe it has a very watery composition. But it orbits near a red dwarf star with enough radiation to have vaporized the planet’s water—unless the planet is young enough to still have some originally created water.
 
Finally, astronomers labeled weird, blade-like formations of methane ice on Pluto’s youthful surface as standing for “a few tens of millions of years.”
How could Pluto have avoided formation-erasing collisions like those that made the moon’s impact craters for all that supposed time?
 
Our Planets Look 'Youthful' Because They Are

These examples merely dip a toe into the deep waters of youthful planetary features, including young-looking magnetic fields young-looking planetary and other outer space features. The Bible clearly teaches.
 
 “And you forget the LORD your Maker, Who stretched out the
heavens and laid the foundations of the earth.” Isaiah 51:13
 
Science and the Bible agree that God made the lights in the sky, including planets, only thousands of years ago. http://www.icr.org/article/9861
