How can a captured planet ever maintain a stable, almost perfectly circular orbit around the Sun, at a plane that almost exactly matches the rest of the planets? It's impossible. The only way this can be explained is if all the planets were created together at the same time.


This argument seals the deal. The probability of getting that just right is vanishingly small.
