New Scientist is full of evolutionary stories. Now, they speculate that a strangely cool star absorbed its planets
billions of years before Earth even existed.
They reported that Last year, astronomers spotted a white dwarf about 90 light years from us. White dwarfs are the remnants of dead stars
that have ceased to carry out nuclear fusion, but this one, WD J2147-4035,
appeared to be much cooler than most white dwarfs. Its relatively cold temperature
indicated that it was about 10 billion years old – much older than other stars
in its galactic neighbourhood.
This is contrary to what we read in Genesis 1.
