No?? didn't think so.
However an old universe theory fits them in just nicely.
Guess you've just failed again.
What are you talking about? God's purpose in creation is to bring glory to Himself, period. As to this misconception that supernova remnants point to an old universe, nothing could be farther from the truth. Let's take a look at the numbers
Expected number of observable supernova remnants if the universe were billions of years old:
Stage 1: 2
Stage 2: 2260
Stage 3: 5000
Expected number of observable supernova remnants if the universe were only thousands of years old:
Stage 1: 2
Stage 2: 125
Stage 3: 0
Actual observable supernova remnants to date:
Stage 1: 5
Stage 2: 200
Stage 3: 0
So you can see, the actual observable data are far more in line with a young universe than an old one. Thanks for bringing the topic up!
As far as movement of galaxies, many spiral galaxies actually wind up too quickly in order to be billions of years old, so that
is pretty good young universe evidence too. Thanks for that one too!
