Saturn's moon Enceladus has a serious problem. It is rapidly losing mass through a gushing geyser and other surface cracks, but it has supposedly been around far too long for that geyser to still exist.
A NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory news release told how astronomers are using Enceladus' plume to test theories of the structure of plasma.1 Most matter in the universe is plasma, a gas-like phase in which electrons are separated from atomic nuclei. But in the process of describing the moon as a testing ground for theory, the release noted the rate of water mass loss from Enceladus. As is the case with any natural processes with measurable, steady rates, the Enceladus geyser rate can be used as an age estimator, given certain assumptions.
Enceladus loses "about 200 pounds of water vapor per second," which roughly equates to three tons per year.1 Enceladus weighs over 100 quadrillion tons and supposedly formed billions of years ago. The plume provides an opportunity to cross-check its old-age assignment.

In The Magic Man in the Sky, Carl Gallups has given us an exciting insight into the many unanswered questions of evolution theory and, based on biblical truths – both prophecies and promises, the possibilities of other worlds and realities denied by evolutionists. With his open and frank approach, supported by extensive research and information from learned professionals in their respective fields, Carl challenges believers and unbelievers to take a serious look at the subjects discussed in this book. Ultimately, Carl invites every reader to seriously consider the gravity and consequences of accepting or rejecting the truth presented. In this hour of all-but-universal darkness, a bright ray of hope and confidence shines forth from the truths of this book. In a time when lives are marked by a growing hunger for spiritual realities, Carl Gallups reveals the truth that real science and Holy Scripture are inseparably linked to verify that behind all creation there is an intelligent designer who created all that exists.
