Are Old Supernova Remnants Really Missing? Re-Evaluating a Well-Known Young-Universe Argument

Faulkner, Danny R. (2017) Are Old Supernova Remnants Really Missing? Re-Evaluating a Well-Known Young-Universe Argument. Answers Research Journal, 10: 21. pp. 245-258. ISSN 1937-9056

Abstract

For more than two decades, recent creationists have used the supposed lack of old supernova remnants, and particularly the lack of stage three supernova remnants, as an argument for recent origin. However, reexamination of the data shows that there indeed are old supernova remnants, and that stage three supernova remnants have been identified. Therefore, this may not be a good argument for recent origin, and I discourage recent creationists from using it.
