THEORIES DO NOT CHANGE FACTS
The question of whether scientific accounts of the origin and evolution of the planets actually occurred is premature at this point. There's a more fundamental question here: do theories of planetary evolution make any sense? In spite of the onslaught of "scientific" theories, which sometimes give the impression of being designed to make sense out of the irrational, our space explorations seem to indicate that these theories make no sense.
Strangely, here on earth, accurate weather predictions are limited to a matter of days. The course of such commonplace weather conditions as storms and hurricanes sometimes cannot be accurately predicted a mere twenty four hours in advance. But somehow, there are "experts" who can state with astonishing certainty how the weather patterns on Venus over alleged billions of years caused entire oceans to go up into space and down into rocks. Maybe we ought to send some scientists to live on Venus so they can give us better weather predictions here on earth?
NEW TOOLS
The problem apparently is that scientists are trying to solve new puzzles -- puzzles brought about by space exploration -- with outdated "tools" -- old theories. It's time to stop bending and twisting these tools in a futile attempt to make them fit the facts. It's time to get new tools. What we need are theories which fit the facts and do not pretend to explain that which they do not. We need theories which do not become obsolete every time science takes another step forward. Perhaps such theories will come when we finally realize that although every physical phenomenon must have an origin, not every origin must necessarily be of a physical nature. Is it possible the Solar System was actually Created, or Directed to form, in its current state? You have a better explanation?
