Young World Evidence - ChristianAnswers. H ere are nearly a dozen natural phenomena which conflict with the evolutionary idea that the universe is billions of years old. The numbers in italics are the ages required by evolutionary theory for each item. Much more young-world evidence exists, but I have chosen these items for brevity and simplicity. The list starts with distant astronomic phenomena and works its way down to Earth, ending with everyday facts.
Comets disintegrate too quickly.
According to evolutionary theory, comets are supposed to be the same age as the solar system, about five billion years. Yet each time a comet orbits close to the sun, it loses so much of its material that it could not survive much longer than about 100,000 years . So far, none of these assumptions has been substantiated either by observations or realistic calculations. Lately, there has been much talk of the 'Kuiper Belt', a disc of supposed comet sources lying in the plane of the solar system just outside the orbit of Pluto. Even if some bodies of ice exist in that location, they would not really solve the evolutionists' problem, since according to evolutionary theory the Kuiper Belt would quickly become exhausted if there were no Oort cloud to supply it.
