Rapidly Moving Stars Show Youth

Astronomers have determined that stars in the Milky Way galaxy and nearby galaxies are moving extremely rapid. In fact, these stars are moving so fast (up to 10 to 12 kilometers per second) that their speed challenges the evolutionist timeline for the 15 billion year old universe. Evolutionist astronomers overwhelmingly believe in the Big Bang Theory for the origin of the universe, which proposes that the universe came into existence after a large explosion from a single point expanded gradually in all directions over approximately 15 billion years. However, at the rate that stars are observed to move today, creationists have noted that the stars would have dispersed or spread out within 100 million years, which is 150 times faster than the Big Bang predicts. Galaxies would be ripped apart and would lose stars at the observed fast rate of movement. Therefore, the current rate of star movement is a problem for the Big Bang model of gradual expansion. Big Bang supporters attempt to remedy the fast star problem by proposing that "dark matter" holds stars inside galaxies and prevents them from leaving. However, many question the existence of dark matter, including mainstream scientists. The young universe model within the 6,000-year time frame would solve many of the scientific problems with fast moving stars.
