Re: heres another creationist article
Not sure, but I think I would be skeptical of anything this Ph.D. Chemist has to say on solar evolution. I'm interested to read what a real expert has to say about this article.

I hope I'm not being redundant with my question - if so, please forgive me.
Lizard asked some great questions and one of them sparked my question.
Basically, what causes a collapsing/contracting stellar(?) cloud to begin spinning? Does it start from zero motion or like the ice skater, was there already some motion [or momentum] in that direction?

Re: Reply to AdminNosy
Thanks Nosy and Eta for helping me out here.
Unless the adjacent space was unequal in it's distribution of other cosmic bodies, wouldn't the combined gravity cancel each other out? Unless it's interacting with the closest body, I suppose. So angular momentum is induced by locally adjacent stellar bodies?
What about in a controlled environment, do the combined properties of particles in motion and collapse/contraction always result in a spinning motion? If so, why/how? Is the direction quantifiable or random? Is it related to the tendency for particles to seek order? Is it a conservation of energy thing?
(I'm just throwing things out there.)
