WHAT NASA'S EVOLUTIONISTS ARE MISSING

To The Editor:

The Genesis capsule that we spent $260 million to reveal clues about "the origin and evolution of the solar system" is just another example of how NASA is dominated by evolutionists.

Having spend the 1950s through the 1970s designing aircraft and spacecraft, and the 1980s through the present defending the scientific evidence for a created solar system, I would like to share some of the facts:

All evolutionary hypotheses for the solar system fall apart on the following facts:

- The planets and their moons defy the principle of conservation of angular momentum, i.e. planets and their moons all are spinning in different planes and directions.

- The Earth, which rotates about the sun in a precise orbit, is on a knife edge for the support of life for which it was created. A little closer and life would die in the heat. A little farther away from the sun and all water would be frozen, and life, whether it be flora of [sic] fauna, will die.

- Our atmosphere is unique to life and totally goverened by the Earth's gravitational mass as well as our orbit around the sun.

If the flora (vegetation) was not followed closely by the fauna (animals) which support/pollinate it, etc. there would be no next year for the flora.

The truth is that nothing works until everything works. Evolution is not supported by science!

This ticks me off so much that I could just spit. Not only is he mixing up...well, you all know exactly what he's mixing up. I thought maybe one or two of you would enjoy the luxury of responding to such a ridiculous statement (or collection of statements, depending on your perspective), here is the link to their online letter submissions, which includes a physical address at the top. Remember to include your name and title.
