Evidence: Spiral Galaxies
|
If various galaxies actually were billions of years old, then we would see the spiral arms of galaxies wrapped around their centers much more tightly, rendering a galaxy that would appear to be a uniformly distributed cloud instead of having very distinctive spiral arms. The fact that the galaxies have these spiral arms suggests that galaxies have not yet lived long enough for their stars to more evenly distribute themselves around the galaxy center, which suggests that galaxies are not nearly as old as the billions of years that evolutionists suggest.

Evolutionists know that this evidence is a major blow to their assertions of a billion year old universe. To refute this evidence for relatively young galaxies, advocates for an old universe have devised theories of “dark matter” and “dark energy” to attempt to explain what is producing the gravitational affects that make these galaxies retain their distinct spiral arms for such a long period of time, but it is important to understand that neither “dark matter” nor “dark energy” has been seen or measured. The mystical concepts of “dark matter” and “dark energy” were devised to preserve the big bang theory and the idea that the universe is billions of years old.[2]
