Abstract

The traditional creationist model allows a very brief time for the growth in size of galactic supernova remnants. In this statistical study, I determine the expected range of supernova remnant sizes that have up to 6,000 years of expansionary growth. I show that the resulting size ranges are compatible with the published characteristics of the population of galactic supernova remnants that are of known size. Hence, the range of sizes of these supernova remnants is compatible with a creationist assumption that the galaxy is young.
