An Evaluation of Astronomical Young-Age Determination Methods—Part II: Solar, Stellar, Galactic, and Extragalactic

Faulkner, Danny R. (2019) An Evaluation of Astronomical Young-Age Determination Methods—Part II: Solar, Stellar, Galactic, and Extragalactic. Answers Research Journal, 12: 13. pp. 329-349. ISSN 1937-9056

Abstract

I evaluate 23 astronomical arguments for recent origin for the sun, stars, and galaxies that biblical creationists have used. Some of the arguments are found to be wanting, and I thus recommend discontinuing their use. Other arguments for young age appear to be strong. Further work on even the good young-age indicators is desirable, along with development of new arguments for recent creation.
