quote:
10. If the solar system evolved, why do three planets spin backwards? Why do at least 30 moons revolve backwards?
The solar system did not evolve.
--Actually, the solar system did evolve. In fact, my favorite book on solar system evolution is indeed titled,
The origin and evolution of the solar system by M.M. Woolfson.
The Origin and Evolution of the Solar System
--And another great book on solar system evolution is.. solar system evolution
:
solar system evolution
--Nevertheless, Brown's argument here only shows a complete lack of understanding on even the basics of solar system evolution. If he had an idea of what theories are available for the origin and evolution of satellite systems, he would not be making this claim. Well on second thought, maybe he would...
