GODMOS Ep#1: The Shrinking of the Sun (?)

Welcome to the first episode of "GODMOS: CReationist AstroPhysics" (Yes, I mixed two names. Sue me.. ;) where I take creationist astronomy books and analyze them - on cam, for YOU to watch and learn. Today's episode is titled: "The Shrinking of the Sun(?)" question mark included on purpose. Is our sun shrinking? Is it possible that the process of contraction of the sun is what produces the heat we receive from the sun? What DO we know about our own star in the solar system and is what we know proven? Learn all these and more in today's episode. Book Discussed: "Design and Origins in Astronomy, Volume 2" by Don B. DeYoung and Emmett L. Williams. Chapters Discussed: Chapter 1: "Godly Astronomers" (pp. 1-4) Chapter 2: "Is the sun an age indicator?" (pp. 5-17) --- CREDITS (THANKYOUs) --- = Physics Help = Phil Plait, "The Bad Astronomer" http://www.badastronomy.com/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBadAstronomer Book: http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Astronomy-Misconceptions-Revealed-Astrology/dp/0471409766/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-4360368-7544710?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1191196480&sr=8-1 = Series Intro = invertedbeardthe2nd YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/invertedbeardthe2nd = Beta Watching = websnarf YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/websnarf ================= --- RESOURCES --- ================= ** ARGUMENTS FOR SHRINKING SUN ** • http://solar-center.stanford.edu/FAQ/Qshrink.html • http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/dave_matson/young-earth/specific_arguments/sun_shrinking.html • http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1979BAAS...11..437E • http://www.tim-thompson.com/resp8.html • Impact 82: The sun is shrinking: http://www.icr.org/index.php?module=articles&action=type&ID=2 • http://solar-center.stanford.edu/FAQ/Qshrink.html • On the age of the sun (Lord Kelvin): http://zapatopi.net/kelvin/papers/on_the_age_of_the_suns_heat.html ** STELLAR EVOLUTION ** • Evolution of the Sun: http://astrosun2.astro.cornell.edu/academics/courses//astro201/evol_sun.htm • Evolution of Stars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiades_(star_cluster) ** NEUTRINOS ** • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino • http://www.ps.uci.edu/~superk/neutrino.html • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_neutrino_problem • http://neutrino.phys.washington.edu/~superk/sk_release.html • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino_oscillation • SNO Neutrino Observatory (Canada): http://hitoshi.berkeley.edu/neutrino/neutrino1.html • Astronomy Cast, Episode #32: http://www.astronomycast.com/observatories/episode-32-the-search-for-neutrinos/ ** AGE OF STARS ** • Dating Mateorites: http://www.meteoritestudies.com/protected_dating.htm • Distance to Stars and the Speed of light: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/dave_matson/young-earth/additional_topics/supernova.html • Variable Stars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_stars • Speed of Light: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_light --- THE MAIN DIFFERENCE --- --- BETWEEN --- --- SCIENCE AND CREATION --- I am a human being, and although I have made a lot of research and preparations for this video, I can - and may be - wrong or inaccurate. I am not afraid of admitting a mistake and/or correcting myself. I do request you make your case logically and rationally, and if you have anything you want me to correct either send me a message, write so in the comments, or post a response video. I am always up for a debate, and I am open minded for other views. The method should be science, though, so if you plan to convince me through logical fallacies and cheap low-blows or strawmen, I suggest you reconcider your participation in advance. 'till next time... Think Rationally! ~mooeypoo
