SPACE.com's Evolution-Biased Comet Quiz

With the recent landing of a probe on a comet, SPACE.com released this article, and an interactive quiz at the bottom of the page. The quiz is titled, “Comet Quiz: Test Your Cosmic Knowledge”. The description of the quiz says, “Comets are debris left over after the solar system formed 4.6 billion years ago. Let’s see what you know about these ancient and elusive celestial wanderers.” That’s an obvious promotion of Stellar and Planetary Evolution with no evidence to back it up. So, I took the quiz.

The first eight questions and answers were based on scientifically demonstrated facts. But the last two questions are extremely biased towards their religion of Evolution. Question 9 reads, “True or False: Some scientists think that water and organic material carried by comets may have seeded life on Earth.” The answer to this predetermined quiz is “yes” of course. But the evolutionists don’t have any evidence that organic material can originate from the vacuum of space, survive a very long trip in outer space, and then evolve into every life form on earth. Plus, it doesn’t solve the problem of where that life came from.

Question 10 reads, “Where do many comets come from?” The preset answer is, “The Oort Cloud”. Yet the Oort Cloud has never been seen or shown to exist! This cloud of comets is supposed to be 50,000 Astronomical Units (AU) away. Pluto, by comparison, is 39 AU away, and can’t be seen with a powerful telescope. You certainly aren’t going to see an object 50,000 AU away! They have absolutely no evidence for their imaginary Oort Cloud, so they shouldn’t say that most comets come from it!

In fact, there is plenty of scientific evidence that comets originated not from the vacuum of space in some imaginary Oort Cloud, but from earth itself during the time of the global flood. According to the Genesis 7:11, “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” This is referring to water under the earth that shot out and flooded the world. Some of this water would have carried nearby rocks and dirt with it, and would have shot out high enough and fast enough to travel to outer space. Once it did, the water would freeze into comets.

As I mentioned above, there is tons of scientific evidence that comets came from earth, not the Oort Cloud. Please read this article for more info: The Origin of Comets.
