First and Last Name

0 points

1. On which day of the Creation in Genesis were the sun, moon, and stars formed?

1 point

a. 1st Day - when light was created.

b. 2nd Day - after the Earth was formed

c. 4th Day - after dry land and plants were made on the Earth.

d. None. Genesis describes the creation of the Earth only.

2. What are nebulae

1 point

a. Gas and dust clouds from stars that have exploded (gone supernova)

b. Galactic clusters filled with hundreds of galaxies

c. The area of empty space found between stars

d. Star clusters that are more commonly called Constellations

Clear selection

3. What is the leading theory proposed to explain the origin of the solar system through natural processes?

1 point

a. The Big Bang formed stars and planets during a great cosmic explosion.

b. God spoke the universe into existence including the solar system.

c. Nebular Theory - cloud of gas and dust that somehow became condensed.

d. Quasars within the Milky Way gave rise to various solar systems including ours.

4. The inner terrestrial planets differ from the outer planets mainly due to what?

1 point

a. The outer planets orbit the opposite direction (clockwise)

b. The inner planets have hosted life in the distant past.

c. The outer planets are made-up mostly of gas.

d. The planets get progressively smaller at greater distance from the sun.

Other:

Clear selection

5. Astronomical objects like asteroids and planets are thought to have formed through what natural mechanism?

1 point

a. Accretion – gravitational attraction of particles causing them to grow into greater and greater sizes.

b. Collisions of larger objects in the Milky Way galaxy into smaller objects.

c. Supernovae create electromagnetic attractions between particles causing them to become bound together.

d. Through the break-up of gas giants into comets and planetesimals, which coalesce into asteroids and planets respectively.

Other:

Clear selection

6. The Earth was designed with what mechanism to protect us from solar radiation? Hint: this shielding is decaying showing that the Earth is young?

1 point

a. Aurora Borealis

b. Reflective water vapor in the atmosphere (the Biblical “Waters Above”)

c. Magnetic Field (Magnetosphere)

d. Coronasphere

Other:

Clear selection

7. The unexpected features and variety found in the solar system, which are inconsistent with a natural origins, are almost universally attributed to what cause?

1 point

a. Redshift

b. Supernova

c. Cosmic collisions

d. Gravity

Other:

Clear selection

8. The Apollo Missions helped overturn the current theories about the origin of what astronomical body?

1 point

a. Mercury

b. Venus

c. Moon

d. Mars

Other:

Clear selection

9. Jupiter spins faster than physics supports in a nebula formation model. Where do they believe the additional spinning energy come from?

1 point

a. The fission theory - mass lost from its surface formed it moons and led to its acceleration

b. Slowing of the terrestrial planets would be greater than the gas giants due to friction

c. Bombardments with asteroids striking predominantly on one side of the planet

d. The planets formed sequentially from largest to smallest resulting in greater spin in the gas giants than in seen in smaller planets like Mercury.

Other:

Clear selection

10. A problem with the nebula theory is..

1 point

a. The theory invokes existing stars as the source of new stars – and thus offers no solution as to how the first stars formed.

b. Planets should not be too different from each other and conform to a single pattern, but they don’t.

c. It can not account for the incredible design features found on Earth … which testify to the creative act of a creator God.

d. All of the above
