Without millions and billions of years, evolutionary history completely falls apart. Here is the eighth of many credible articles from various branches of science that tell of a world much younger than evolutionists claim.
Evidence 8 of a Young Earth: Comets Disintegrate Too Quickly.
According to evolutionary theory, comets are supposed to be the same age as the solar system, about 5 billion years. Yet each time a comet orbits close to the sun, it loses so much of its material that it could not survive much longer than about 100,000 years.
Many comets have typical ages of 10,000 years. (1)
Evolutionists explain this discrepancy by assuming that (a) comets come from an unobserved spherical "Oort cloud" well beyond the orbit of Pluto, (b) improbable gravitational interactions with infrequently passing stars often knock comets into the solar system, and (c) other improbable interactions with planets slow down the incoming comets often enough to account for the hundreds of comets observed. (2)
So far, none of these assumptions has been substantiated either by observations or realistic calculations.
Lately, there has been much talk of the "Kuiper Belt," a disc of supposed comet sources lying in the plane of the solar system just outside the orbit of Pluto. Even if some bodies of ice exist in that location, they would not really solve the evolutionists' problem, since according to evolutionary theory the Kuiper Belt would quickly become exhausted if there were no Oort cloud to supply it.
