Be careful, COG will try'n tilt Uranus over 90 degree's!
Uranus is tilted over on its side 90 degrees with respect to the plane of its orbit around the sun.
Conservation of angular momentum means that once a planet is spinning, it cannot stop unless an outside force acts on it to brake the rotation. Originally Posted by ExNYer

There are a lot of misconceptions about GodI think it's safe to say that God's nature is beyond our comprehension.
One of the biggest is that God is love.
Love is an attribute of God but God is not love.
The true essence of God is power.
If he is then he is the one in charge.
There are a great number of things that I think
that I would disagree with God about and a
great number of things I would do differently.
But I don't remember him asking.
If he is, then he is the boss and gets to make the rules.

1. Light separated from darkness. How does light "separate" from darkness? Darkness only exists where there is insufficient light and an observer that is around to take note of how "dim" it is. Even in the deepest reaches of space, there is light - however faint - from distant stars.
2. Creation of the earth covered in water. No. It was dry at first and red hot. The earth was a flaming hot volcanic rock with no water on it for however many millions of years. Eventually, as it cooled down, rocks (comets) carrying ice from deep space smashed into it and the ice was vaporized into steam by the hot planet. Eventually, when the earth cooled enough, the water vapor condensed into rain and puddles began to form. And eventually oceans formed in the low spots on the uneven rocky surface of the earth. And that process continues to this very day. We are still bombarded by bits of ice from space every day.
3. The separation of the dry land from the seas. No. See above. The dry land already existed and was quite hot. The water filled in the low spots as the land cooled. There was no separation of the dry land from the seas.
4 - 6. The creation of plants in a particular order - grasses, shrubs and fruit bearing trees. From less complex to more complex. Just like evolution would do. Maybe the ancient writers of the Bible were just following common sense?
7. The placing of the heavenly bodies in relationship to the earth (this is often explained as the clearing of the atmosphere enough to see these creations). Wrong also. The heavenly bodies (stars, galaxies, etc.) existed long before the earth. They were not placed there in relationship to the earth, since the earth did not even exist yet.
8-11 The creation of animal life in a particular order - fish, birds, land animals, live stock. From less complex to more complex. Just like evolution would do. Maybe the ancient writers of the Bible were just following common sense?
12. The creation of man
In other words Moses had less than one chance in 479 million of just correctly guessing. From what ass was that number pulled?
Think of the problem like this. Take a deck of cards. Keep just one suit -let's say hearts. Toss out the ace. Hand the remaining twelve cards to a one year old child. Ask him/her to hand you the cards one at a time. In order. What are the chances said toddler will start with the two and give them all to you in order right up to the king? It's a basic probability question (no, come back! forget I said anything about math.) I'll just tell you the answer. It's one chance in 479,001,600. (If you want the formula it's below)
OK. So the odds of drawings the cards in the correct order is 1 in 480 million. How exactly do you tie that to what Moses supposedly wrote? Who says that what Moses wrote is a random process, like drawing cards? It isn't.
As an initial matter, he did NOT get the order right - see above.
Second, a person exercising ordinary common sense would realize that you have to have an earth first, in order for the ocean to be located on something. And animals and plants would probably be formed from less complex to more complex. So the writings in Genesis are NOT equivalent to a random process. Originally Posted by wellendowed1911

[B]This is a known law of science, which those who believe in Evolution cannot do away with. It is known as the Conservation of angular momentum Here is the definition:The law of conservation of angular momentum states that when no external torque acts on an object or a closed system of objects, no change of angular momentum can occur. Hence, the angular momentum before an event involving only internal torques or no torques is equal to the angular momentum after the event. This conservation law mathematically follows from isotropy, or continuous directional symmetry of space (no direction in space is any different from any other direction).
This matter which is said to have created the planets would all need to spin in the same direction as the object it came from. So therefore, all of the planets should be spinning in the same direction.
However two of them are not. Venus and Uranus spin backwards
Old T you might want to go re-read that law- Originally Posted by wellendowed1911
