Shrinking Sun Since 1836 over 100 different observers have measured the sun to shrink at about 0.1% per century (or 5 feet per hour). If the sun existed 1 million years ago, it would have heated to earth so that life could not survive.
Solar Fuel  If nuclear reactions is the predominate energy source in the sun, then the sun's fuel would have been depleted in less than 10 million years. If the sun is young, so is the earth.
Differential Gas Rotation There is differential gas rotation in the sun above and below the equator, but no known self-consistent driving force for it. Therefore, it should have dissipated long ago if the sun was ancient.
Formation of the Sun The sun contains 99.857% of the mass in the solar system. Why did a measly 1/7% not fall into the main body? What stopped the condensation?
Formation of the Planets How did planets like earth (density of 5.52), Mercury (5.46), Venus (5.06), Mars (4.12) and the Moon (3.32) get densities up to 3 times that of the sun (1.41)? What about Jupiter (1.35) and Saturn (0.71)?
Earth is a Freak The material of the sun is not at all suitable to form the earth. If the sun is "normal" (like most other stars and interstellar matter) then Earth is a "Freak" - unlike anything else in the known universe.
Angular Momentum  If the sun started as gaseous protogalaxy, then it lost 99.9999999% of its angular momentum (all but .000000001%). Sun has 99% of the mass within the solar system, but the planets have 98% of angular momentum (200% that of the sun).
Planetary Orbits What about the retrograde rotation of Uranus, Venus and Pluto? How did Pluto (.249) and Mercury (.206) get elliptical orbits versus Earth's .017, Mars' .093 and Venus' .007?
Planetary Axis Inclinations Why the vast variation if all from a single source. Uranus - 98 degrees, Neptune - 29 degrees, Saturn - 26 degrees, Mars - 24 degrees, Earth - 23.5 degrees and Jupiter - 3 degrees?
Backwards Moons All 60 moons in our solar system should revolve in the same direction, but 6 moons revolve backwards. Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune have moons that revolve in both directions
Inclined Orbits of Moons Orbits of 60 moons should all lie in the equatorial plane of their planets, but many are highly inclined including Earth's moon.
