Despite all the scientific findings, its still a theory. A theory that assumes the solar system resembles the current configuration, omits data that shows the Moon is older than the solar system, ignores plasma discharges. And much more.

But it does keep everything nice and neat, so no paradigms are stepped on, helps keep closed minds closed, while forcing shut young open minds.

Ain’t science grand!

We have lots of observational evidence that star/planet system formation is a messy, drawn-out, chaotic process starting with random accumulations of dust and gas and material from other exploded stars, rotating and eventually coalescing into a star/Sun and planets and assorted miscellany.

The idea that we can derive how our particular Solar System got itself together, 4-plus billion years after that all chaos happened, is IMO sort of.... ummm.... "silly"?

But it does get the grant money.

An artist’s rendering that leads a science article is always a waving red flag.

That means they are speculating.
