Abstract
Two recent papers in the June 1980 issue of this journal by Hinderliter and Steidl provided excellent documentation on solar shrinking and the lack of solar neutrinos; and their combined testimony is against evolutionary astronomy and for creationist astronomy. This paper adds some additional information on current research and on the history of investigation into the sun's luminosity and age. The Helmholtz contraction theory, the meteoric bombardment theory, and the solar incandescence as the source of sun's luminosity are revisited. It is found that all, except possibly meteors, may individually provide for the observed luminosity. Particularly, it is argued that if the sun was created 6000 years ago as an incandescent body at about 6000 degrees Kelvin there would have been imperceptible dimunition in its temperature to the present.
