Pluto and the Young Solar System
The outer solar system continues to confirm the biblical timescale. When the New Horizons spacecraft flew past the Pluto system in July 2015, its findings challenged secular expectations. In the standard old-universe model, Pluto formed about 4.5 billion years ago. Yet, New Horizons found evidence of a geologically “youthful” surface for both Pluto and its largest moon Charon. A recent study examining the sparse cratering on these worlds provides even additional evidence of their biblical age of a few thousand years. To understand this, we need some information about comets.

I think they opened for Strawberry Alarm Clock back in ‘67.

It definitely seems to have caused clickbait to be mis-posted as News.
Or, the surface has been reworked several times over the last 4.5by.
The question is what’s reworking the surface? Plate techtonics? Nope, it’s geologically dead (well... see below). Constant bombardment? Nope; those are the craters that are missing. Erosion? Nope; not much atmosphere.
The real answer is that it’s not really so dead techtonically. While any rock material would’ve cooled off by now, it may harbor vast oceans underneath an icy surface.
The lack of craters is the result of a lack of impacting matter.
Pluto is beyond the asteroid belt and source of the zillions of matter that can impact
The most plausible theory is electric arcing via a solar or galactic disturbance. Birkland currents following plasma flow acts as conductor and insulation. Many craters in the solar system fail the impact theory.
There’s no problem or need to worry about any conflict between the Biblical record and today’s scientists.
For many hundreds of years, Biblical scholars have realized and taught that the Genesis 1 Creation account is not speaking about our modern 24 hour days, but rather periods of time (or sequential steps) of unknown duration.
This is apparent from Genesis 1 itself, wherein the sun (and thus, any literal measurement of
“night and day” is not created until the 4th step.....
Fair point, but what we are certain of is, God revealed to Moses the 6-day creation story and Moses understood a day to be a 24-hour period. The Almighty could have taken 2.3 seconds to create the universe but chose to give us a 6-day time frame. His purpose is His own.
As far as astronomy and geology are concerned, they theory of entropy does not seem to enter into their calculus.
“Surface age” means little. Just look at the surface of the earth and the minimal crater impact it shows. Do we know the geologic history of Pluto since the start of the solar system? No. We do not even for sure know when in the last 4.5 billion years it obtained its current orbit or what it experienced along the way to that. In a 4.5 billion year time scale CURRENT surface evidence is not a great baromter of age.
And even if “crater impact” were a barometer, then guesses about age for pluto would vary depending on which area exactly of Pluto’s surface was used for that determination. But I digress, because, as I said the CURRENT service evidence does not divulge its possible 4.5 billion year history. In that time and in Pluto’s journey the surface may have greatly changed from today and in those changes more “ancient” features no longer visible.
No... Pluto is near another, deeper astroid belt, known as the Kuiper belt. And the Scattered Disk. Plenty of bombardment.
And, as in "a day with God is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day", the Scriptures were written to be understood by folks who would have no concept of billions or even millions.
Good grief. What nonsense. The Young Earth Model does not even explain the Kuiper Belt. The Universe is exceedingly old, just as our Great God Yahweh (praise His name) has made it. He does not deceive us, nor can He lie.
If Pluto is a dog, what is Goofy?
He does not deceive us, nor can He lie.
So which is it? You can’t have it both ways.
Goofy is just Goofy.
Actually it’s a good question so I googled it.
“Goofy is a funny-animal cartoon character created in 1932 at Walt Disney Productions. Goofy is a tall, anthropomorphic dog with a Southern drawl, and typically wears a turtle neck and vest, with pants, shoes, white gloves, and a tall hat originally designed as a rumpled fedora.” - Wikipedia
“Confusion concerning Pluto and Goofy. Disney has dealt with a certain amount of confusion concerning the fact that Pluto (an ordinary dog) is treated as a household pet while the anthropomorphic Goofy is treated as a human despite being of the same species.”
There was internet speculation that Goofy was a cow and had european origins, but snopes claims this is false.
“Was Goofy “born” to Egyptian immigrants in Scotland and named “Dipalwa Dawala?”
First off, Goofy wasn’t “born” anywhere: He was created by Disney animators Art Babbitt and Frank Webb in the 1930s. Goofy was introduced as a side character named “Dippy Dawg” in the cartoon short Mickey’s Revue (1932) but underwent some revisions over the next few years. While Goofy has gone by a number of names during his Disney career (including Super Goof, Dippy Dawg, George G. Geef, Goofus D. Dawg, and Goofy Goof), we were unable to find any credible source listing the character as “Dipalwa Dawala.””
Well now my day is off to a goofy start.
Walt Disney - the guy that ruined the world by making animals talk ...
wasn’t that Dr Doolittle
