I'd never heard of this "theory." Sounds very wrong to me, but then astrophysics is not my specialty.
Anyone care to take it on?
Here's the excerpt which inspired me, from In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood
(7th Edition) by Dr. Walt Brown.:
quote:
The Origin of Asteroids and Meteoroids
SUMMARY: The “fountains of the great deep” launched rocks as well as muddy water. As rocks moved farther from Earth, Earth’s gravity became less significant to them, and the gravity of nearby rocks became increasingly significant. Consequently, many rocks, assisted by their mutual gravity and surrounding clouds of water vapor, merged to become asteroids. Isolated rocks in space are meteoroids. Drag forces caused by water vapor and thrust forces produced by the radiometer effect concentrated asteroids in what is now the asteroid belt. The so-called mavericks of the solar system (asteroids, meteoroids, and comets) resulted from the same event.
And here's the link: Page not found – Center for Scientific Creation
A few Questions:
Q. Can water be used as a medium to propel rocks into space?
Q. Can the "radiometer effect" guide asteroids into stable orbit?
Q. Does Quartz melt at 1300 degrees Fahrenheit?
Q. Is a mechanical engineer qualified to discuss Astrophysics?
My Answers: No, No, No, and No. But, as I say, this is not my field of expertise.
