Astrophysicists have claimed to have found evidence of of planet forming around a star called HD100546 which is 335 light years from Earth, a diameter 2.5 times larger and is 30 times brighter than that of the sun. When the facts are examined as is often the case the reality does not live up to the head line or the claim being made. No planetary body has actually been observed let alone one that can be considered to be forming. what has actually be been observed is a excess carbon monoxide emission source who's velocity and position seems vary in a manner that indicates that it orbiting around the star. The claim of a forming is nothing more than the hypothesis that the emission is a result of a circumplanetary disk of gas orbiting a gas giant about three time the size of Jupiter.

Asteroid 2014 RC
At 2:18 p.m. on September 7 Asteroid 2014 RC will pass 25,000 miles from Earth or about 10% of the distancebetwen the Earth and the Moon. At just 60 feet across it is a small asteroid that will not be visible to the unaided eye. There is no danger of an impact with the Earth though it does qualify as a near miss. Even if an impact occured the explosion would be just 4 times the size of the atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki Japan or about 90 kilotons of TNT or .
The Nebula Hypothesis says that asteroids a remnant from formation of the solar system but suffers from problems such things as an imbalance of angular momentum.. Also real planets both in the solar system and among exoplanets that are not in orbits predicted by the Nebula Hypothesis. Alternative theories include an exploded or shattered planet between Mars and Jupiter. They could have originated from outside the solar system which from a creationist perspective could have been created on day four of the creation week with the rest of the universe. There is also the idea that they formed from material ejected from Earth during the Genesis Flood.

History of Astronomy
I have posted some introductoru material on the History of Astronomy. Astronomy is the one area that creationist have made some real progress in rececnt years. Humphreys' model of planetary magnetic feilds has has been quite sucessful in predicting the magnetic field stregnths if planets and moons.While the above links do not mention Humphreys' model being introductory it does bust the anti Chrtistian myth surounding Galileo and his trouble with the Catholic Church.

Unification Theory

I have posted some material on Unification Theories.
Unification Theories are theories in Physics that unifies all of physics under a single theory and they have interesting ramifications for origins.
The best approach seems to be a digital physics interpretation of Dr Herrmann’s General Intelligent Design, which is what I have been referring to as the Information Universe. General Intelligent Design and digital physics show the need for God as Creator. The digital physics a growing view in physics and one that can be readily used in defense not only of the Biblical account of creation but of the Bible as whole because it shows miracles to be possible.
Digital physics comes directly from Quantum Mechanics, in fact these developments in physics are a total refutation of materialism because if the universe is fundamentally information then it is actually immaterial in nature.

Ancient Mars Lake Could Have Supported Life, or Could It?
The Curiosity rover team made an announcement that they have discovered evidence of past fresh waster in Gale Crater. Now This data is not new because it has been available months and they seem to be ignoring an aspect of the data that goes against habitability at least long-term habitability.
Yes the clay found in the area indicates fresh water disposition but there is also enough the sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide indicated a past environment of about 3% sulfuric acid and a Ph of around 0.5. It seems that fresh water originally erupted from underground becoming acidic as a result of volcanic activity. The makes is a perfect fit to the Catastrophic Model of Martian geology.

Human Chromosome 2 Fusion Theory Shown Wrong
http://tinyurl.com/GSM-Chromosome2
One of the latest big arguments for the claim man evolved from a common ancestor with apes is that the human chromosome 2 is a result of an end to end fusion from two chimp chromosomes 2a and 2b. For the record they were given these labels after the theory wad proposed as a way of giving support for the fusion theory. This theory was proposed as a way to explain the fact that apes have 48 humans 23 pairs of chromosomes while apes all have 24 pairs. While this theory rests on rather weak evidence to begin with in that if the DNA sequences were originally centromere, and telomere sites they would have to be more highly degraded that predictive for possible tine span.
One major problem with this claim is the fact that such a mutation would only occur in one individual at time and if it occurred it would probably render the person infertile with rest of his species and if he were lucky to find a mate with the same fused chromosome (highly improbable) then their offspring would have trouble finding compatible mates, making its survival let alone dominance highly improbable.
To make matters worst for the theory is that there are no identified cases telomere-to-telomere fusion in mammals since every chromosome fusions documented in living mammals involves satellite DNA and telomeres have end caps called the shelterin protein complex that prevent telomere-to-telomere fusion.
It gets even worse for the chromosome fusion do the lack of DNA sequence similarity between humans and chimps in the area around the alleged human chromosome 2 fusion site, including an unexplained lack of chimp DNA in the area. The alleged fusion site is surrounded by many functional genes and aleged pseudogenes not found in the ends of the ends of chimpanzee chromosomes 2A or 2B.
The final neal in the chromosome 2 fusion coffin is the fact that the alleged fusion site is actually location inside the DDX11L2 gene. This gene has three primary exons transcribed in the direction of telomere to centromere. It serves several regulatory functions making it a highly expressed and highly complicated gene and one not found in apes.
If the human chromosome 2 were indeed a result of an end to end fusion from two chimp chromosomes 2a and 2b were would expect to find the fusion site in fairly good shape and surrounded by DNA sequences highly similar between humans and chimps but we do not. We also find a unique highly functional gene going right across the alleged fusion site. Thus this so called evidence for a human-chimpanzee common ancestor and human evolution can be considered falsified, that is has been shown to be wrong.
