2) There’s not enough mass to have accreted into a planet.
3) The gravity from Jupiter prevents the matter from further accretion.
4) Asteroid chemistry is inconsistent with having once been part of a planet. The asteroids have different chemical composition, which should all be the same if they came from the same body.
5) The amount of energy required to completely destroy a planet.

Summing upSumming up “I have always wondered why religionists will
jeopardize a perfectly good message by trying to prove something totally unrelated and
usually unnecessary about their faith. It’s as if they’re implying their values are not
persuasive on their own, therefore they must compel us to submit via use of proofs.”
