Hi Everyone,
I hope all's well. I wrote this column last week and have been getting smeared by atheists for the past few days, getting accused of all kinds of personal things, etc. Does anyone have similar experiences?

Logical Proof of the Existence of a Divine Creator, Why Atheism is Not Logically Sound
By Yomin Postelnik Monday, June 9, 2008
One of the beautiful aspects of self evident truths is that they can be proven on both the simplest and the most complex of levels. By contrast, to make an argument for what is in fact an illogical fallacy, one must use plenty of skill, sophistry and remain beholden to a dogmatic protection of what is really an illogical position. >>>

No scientists do not believe planets form spontaneously.
Imagine that in a small section of the galaxy lies a cloud of gas, made up of molecular hydrogen with some mix of other light molecules
(Neufeld et al. 2006a),
(Neufeld et al. 2006b). If some small part of that cloud is compressed, it may start to collapse on itself. As this ball of gas collapses to form a protostar, surrounded by an envelope of colder gas, the surrounding material is also mixed and pulled in
(Watson et al. 2004). If this material has any initial spin, it will rotate even more quickly as it falls, conserving angular momentum. While the star is still growing to its final size, much of the surrounding material is coalescing into a relatively flat disk that is spinning about the central protostar, perhaps firing off bipolar jets into the ambient medium.
Accretion and Jets
Finally, the envelope has been more or less cleared from around the star and a spinning disk has formed. The disk grains collide and stick together in spots to form larger grains and crystalline structures, slowly building into planetessimals
(Furlan et al. 2005b),
(Sargent et al. 2006),
(Watson et al. 2007a).
Ice Sticks to Grains
The central protostar grows, not steadily but in violent bursts and cascades
(Green et al. 2006), fed by the material raining from the envelope onto the disk and spiralling through the disk into the star. As planets form, portions of the disk are cleared out, leaving gaps and holes
(Forrest et al. 2004),
(Calvet et al. 2005),
(D'Alessio et al. 2005).
The Formation of a Planet
The disk which initially may have been flared like the bell of a trumpet, settles slowly onto a flat midplane
(Furlan et al. 2006). Finally the envelope and disk have almost dissipated and most of the planets have formed, although this stage may take tens of millions of years
(Hartmann et al. 2005),
(Uchida et al. 2004),
(Furlan et al. 2007). If the central star has not built up enough mass, it will eventually stop shrinking and radiate away its remnant heat, becoming a brown dwarf
(Furlan et al. 2005a). If it grows large enough, it will shrink until the core gets so hot that fusion of hydrogen into helium becomes commonplace, igniting a nuclear furnace that heats the star and its planetary system for millions or billions of years. At this stage the star is on the "main sequence," like our sun. A remnant debris disk of dust may remain or even coalesce planets while the star is on the main sequence
(Jura et al. 2004).
