    The only thing he cut off is his own head, same as you.

    his video is a parody making shameless fun of douchebag beliefs of creationists.

    He is so stupid and blind he doesn't even see it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

    From the article the main figures we need to consider are:
    1. Sun fusion rate - 620 million metric tons
    2. Mass-energy conversion rate - 4.26 million metric tons
    3. Age of the Sun - 5.57 billion years
    4. Mass of sun today - 2×10^30 kilograms

    To determine if the kid is right we need to calculate how big the Sun should have been 5.57 billion years ago. The kid said the sun was 6 billion years old verses 5.57 billion years old. The only other figure he stated was 5 million tons of hydrogen every second, which does appear to be an over-estimate of the 4.26 million tons stated by wikipedia. He appears to have rounded up instead of down. But the kid claims the Sun would have swallowed the Earth if it had been big enough to have had that much hydrogen a few million years ago using his figures.

    So can you calculate what the mass of the Sun was 5.57 billion years ago? It is now 330,000 times bigger that the Earth, according to this article.

    lets' see. you know nil squat about:

    cosmology in general
    stellar dynamics
    the dynamics of gases under extreme pressure, temperature and gravity.

    yet you presume that ~6 billion years ago, the sun must have been big enough to swallow the earth? and your credentials are what... a parody video made by a kid laughing in your face?

    this is special. thanks for the hilarity.

    Forget about this problem. I did not give enough information here. And this is not a simple problem as I had assumed. It is a calculus problem and since I do not remember calculus anymore, I would not be able to check it anyway.
