1 Our Created Solar System Video After the first segment of the video (0:00 8:54 min.) is played, the video will be stopped. Then, answer the following questions: 1) In short, what is the solar system? 2) What is the Solar Nebular Theory? It s a theory that claims that the solar system started as a big cloud of gas, and then dust particles start to stick together to form. 3) The solar nebular model doesn t really work because when big clumps of dust get together they don t together but apart. Second Segment Questions: Mercury (8:55-14:07) 4) Which planets are the terrestrial planets? 5) What is the highest temperature on Mercury? 0 Fahrenheit. 6) What is its lowest temperature? 0 F 7) The core of this planet is believed to consist of the element 8) We know that Mercury is very dense b/c scientists have noticed the pull on the Mariner spacecraft. 9) Evolutionists think that an asteroid hit Mercury, causing all the lighter elements to. 10) Magnetism can be formed by liquid metal in the core acting like a d. 11) What two predictions are not working out well for the Solar Nebular Theory? Third Segment Questions: Venus (14:08 18:40) 12) What is the atmosphere of Venus mostly made of? 13) What three things will kill you if you take a vacation on Venus? 14) What comes down in the form of rain sometimes? 15) The age of Venus is estimated based on how many crash into it, assuming the rate at which this happens is the for the last years. Fourth Segment Questions: Earth (18:41 26:38) 16) Evolutionists tell us our Earth has been around for about billion years.

2 17) Where does the Earth s magnetic field come from? 18) What is happening to the Earth s magnetic field?. 19) How does the Earth s magnetic field protect us?. 20) God formed the Earth to be. (Isa. 45:18) 21) How much water will cover the Earth if the Earth was smooth?. 22) According to evolutionary models, the Earth should not have any since it is light and should have been swung toward the outer parts of the solar system. Fifth Segment Questions: Moon (26:39 43:50) 23) What effect does Moon have on the Earth? 24) Why does the Moon completely block the Sun during a Solar Eclipse? 25) What makes our Moon unique compared to the other moons in the Solar System? 26) How were Marias formed, according to the evolution theory? Asteroids hit the surface and the hole got filled with that oozed out through the crust. 27) On what day was the Moon formed according to Genesis 1? 28) How many theories exist for how the Moon was formed by itself?. How many of these theories actually work? 29) What are the flashes of light on the Moon from?. 30) Each year the Moon is moving inches the Earth. 5- min. break Sixth Segment Summary: (43:51 the end) 31) Summary briefly what you learned about Mars: 32) Jupiter 33) Saturn 34) Uranus 35) Neptune

3 Name: Our Created Stars and Galaxies Video 36) What is the force that would bring dust together? 37) What is the force that moves gas outward? 38) Under normal conditions, which one is greater? 39) Why is your answer for question 38 a problem for the evolutionary model? 40) List five different explanations for the formation of stars. 41) We see highly complex galaxies in areas of the universe whose light is supposedly take years to reach the earth. Galaxies are not supposed to form so soon after the. 42) What are the three purposes of the celestial bodies in the universe? Explain each of these purposes below by giving examples: 43) What makes our sun special? It is the right: and 44) Even though all the planets of our solar system are in a flat plain, the sun rotates at an angle of 0 C. 45) What did you think of this video. Please state briefly.

4 Our Created Solar System Video After the first segment of the video (0:00 8:54 min.) is played, the video will be stopped. Then, answer the following questions: 1) In short, what is the solar system? our Sun + all that orbit around it (planets, moons, asteroids, comets...) 2) What is the Solar Nebular Theory? It s a theory that claims that the solar system started as a big cloud of gas, and then dust particles start to stick together to form planets. Impossible to prove any historical story. You can only find the scenario that fits the evidence the best. 3) The solar nebular model doesn t really work because when big clumps of dust get together they don t stick together but break apart. Second Segment Questions: Mercury (8:55-14:07) 4) Which planets are the terrestrial (rocky) planets? Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars 5) What is the highest temperature on Mercury? Fahrenheit. 6) What is its lowest temperature? F 7) The core of this planet is believed to consist of the element iron 8) We know that Mercury is very dense b/c scientists have noticed the gravitational pull on the Mariner spacecraft. 9) Evolutionists think that an asteroid hit Mercury, causing all the lighter elements to go away, leaving the dense material. 10) Magnetism can be formed by liquid metal in the core acting like a dynamo (hot liquid metal moving around in each planet creating an electrical current and a magnetic field). Magnetic field = has to have a liquid core which is against evolution 11) What two predictions are not working out well for the Solar Nebular Theory? - evolution said it can t be dense, but it is and it can t have a magnetic field but it does Third Segment Questions: Venus (14:08 18:40) 12) What is the atmosphere of Venus mostly made of? carbon dioxide 13) What three things will kill you if you take a vacation on Venus? - temperature (900F) - atmosphere - pressure/gravity 14) What comes down in the form of rain sometimes? sulfuric acid 15) The age of Venus is estimated based on how many asteroids crash into it, assuming the rate at which this happens is the same for the last years. Fourth Segment Questions: Earth (18:41 26:38) 16) Evolutionists tell us our Earth has been around for about 4.5 billion years. 17) Where does the Earth s magnetic field come from? unknown

5 18) What is happening to the Earth s magnetic field? decaying. 19) How does the Earth s magnetic field protect us? solar radiation. 20) God formed the Earth to be our home. (Isa. 45:18) 21) How much water will cover the Earth if the Earth was smooth? 1.5 miles deep. 22) According to evolutionary models, the Earth should not have any water since it is light and should have been swung toward the outer parts of the solar system. Fifth Segment Questions: Moon (26:39 43:50) 23) What effect does Moon have on the Earth? tides because of its gravity; circulates ocean water which prevents water from becoming stagnant 24) Why does the Moon completely block the Sun during a Solar Eclipse? because it s 400x smaller than than sun and the Sun is 400x farther to the Sun 25) What makes our Moon unique compared to the other moons in the Solar System? none produce eclipses like this 26) How were Marias formed, according to the evolution theory? Asteroids hit the surface and the hole got filled with lava that oozed out through the crust. 27) On what day was the Moon formed according to Genesis 1? 4 28) How many theories exist for how the Moon was formed by itself? 3. How many of these theories actually work? none 29) What are the flashes of light on the Moon from? releases gas from volcanic vents. 30) Each year the Moon is moving 1.5 inches away the Earth. Sixth Segment Summary: (43:51 the end) 31) Summary briefly what you learned about Mars: 32) Jupiter 33) Saturn 34) Uranus 35) Neptune

6 Name: Our Created Stars and Galaxies Video 36) What is the force that would bring dust together? 37) What is the force that moves gas outward? 38) Under normal conditions, which one is greater? 39) Why is your answer for question 38 a problem for the evolutionary model? 40) List five different explanations for the formation of stars. 41) We see highly complex galaxies in areas of the universe whose light is supposedly take years to reach the earth.
