The nebular hypothesis is the most popular theory of how planets form around stars.
There are other theories (stellar near collisions et al), but all of them suffer in relationship to the nebular hypothesis because of their ad hoc nature.
Less than 400 planets in to our search, comes news of a planet that orbits it's star in the OPPOSITE direction of its star's rotation.
Since this is not supposed to be the case, it is proposed that a collision caused this backward behavior.
The only problem is that a collision with the energy to reverse a planet's orbit would also blow the planet to smithereens. Yet, there orbits Wasp 17, bloated, as big as Saturn, and orbiting backward.
The tidal effects of all this, suggest the causative forces of all this were "remarkably" recent considering the supposed 13 billion year plus age of the universe.
Just one set of coincidences after another to mess up the "proven" dating as "proved" by radiocarbon dating.
Unless of course one plays with the definition of the word "evidence".
