They should call it the cobweb moon.

The whole young earth creation argument is sticky because it is basically impossible to refute. If I told you the whole world was created 2 seconds ago, as is, how would you prove me wrong? So you just end up trying to point out the problems with every other proposed history of the universe - which is fine, it just ends up being a little unsatisfying.

By that standard, the argument for ANY age of the universe, young or old, is impossible to make.
To: GodGunsGuts
The article mentions gravitational effects, but doesn't touch the fact that Ganymede is inside Jupiter's magnetic field. Does Ganymede require a liquid core to have a magnetic field, or would it be like rubbing a magnet on a needle to give the needle a magnetic field? Also, could the coupling of Jupiter's magnetic field keep Ganymede's core heated by magnetic coupling rather than the gravitational coupling the article suggests and then dismisses?

Look! Will you STOP posting inconvenient articles that look bad for evolutionary axioms? I’m running out of snide, childish insults to throw your way!

By that standard, the argument for ANY age of the universe, young or old, is impossible to make. There is no way to scientifically disprove the existence of an omnipotent God. Any evidence someone puts up can be dismissed with a response of "God did it". All science can do is look for natural explanations (or the absence of them).

Ganymede is literally (craters per square mile) the most bombarded place in the solar system. The extra heat that keeps the core liquid might be from it getting smacked around so much. When Earth got smacked in the Moon forming event (admittedly that involved being hit by something size of Mars) it liquefied the entire planet. We still haven’t solidified from that smack more than a few miles down. Does that mean that the solar system is only as old as the moon? No it just means that the age of a planet is only the time since the last time it got resurfaced.

Even though this article calls into question the overall age of Ganymede due to its magnetic field, there are other ways of measuring the age of planets, planetoids, and moons. The density of cratering on Ganymede points to a surface age of 3 to 3.5 billion years

Whats new? - The old age farce has to come to an end. No, no it hasn't. The evolutionists, regardless of how much evidence was ever put forward against their position or how insurmountable it was scientifically, will never end the farce. Just like the classical materialists in the days of old who ended up either saying "we don't really know where it came from" or else apotheising the universe itself to get around the problem of where it all came from, so today our modern materialists won't be able to resolve their inherent contradictions on origins, regardless of how many big bangs they hypothesise.

Another question might be whether the magnetic field poles are close to Ganymede’s rotational poles.
And does Ganymede have sufficient radioactive material to keep the iron core molten?

A billion years is not old?
Dr. Humphreys is really stretching the truth here.
To: <1/1,000,000th%
Dr. Humphreys is not the author. However, the author does mention that Humphreys young earth cosmology accurately predicted the recent measurements of the Messenger Spacecraft with respect to Mercury’s magnetic field.
PS if they can’t account for 3.5 billion years, I’d say that’s a big problem for the evos.
