Short-Lived Comets

Comets can be a beautiful sight in our night sky. As a comet approaches the sun, some of its material is blasted off, forming a bright tail. It shrinks the comet. So comets can’t last for more than a few million years, at most.

This is a big problem for those who believe the universe is billions of years old. So they’ve proposed that comets come from far-away regions of space. But none of these proposed “comet-makers” has ever been observed, and there’s no evidence it exists.

When we start with the Bible, we know comets were created by God, just a few thousand years ago. The evolutionary timeline is wrong, and comets confirm it.
