Assuming this is really a scientific paper and not from some creationist crap site, all it shows is a wrong hypothesis. Now the scientists are rethinking.
I would advise all creationists to start rethinking their theology, because it is vacuous.
Yep, that is why they all gasped. I don't believe one would normally class "New Scientist" as a "creationist crap site", but you seem extreme enough to place it in that category for yourself.
