Moon Recession

As tidal friction gradually slows Earth's spin, the laws of physics
require the Moon to recede from Earth. (Edmond Halley first observed
this recession in 1695.) Even if the Moon began orbiting near Earth's
surface, the Moon should have moved to its present distance from Earth
in billions of years less time than the 4.6-billion-year age
evolutionists assume for the Earth and Moon. So, the Earth-Moon system
must be much younger than most evolutionists assume.

Most Scientific Dating Techniques Indicate That the Earth, Solar
System, and Universe Are Young.

For the last 150 years, the age of the Earth, as assumed by
evolutionists, has been doubling at roughly a rate of once every 15
years. In fact, since 1900 this age has multiplied by a factor of
100!

Evolution requires an old Earth, an old solar system, and an old
universe. Nearly all informed evolutionists will admit that without
billions of years their theory is dead. Yet, hiding the "origins
question" behind a vast veil of time makes the unsolvable problems of
evolution difficult for scientists to see and laymen to imagine. Our
media and textbooks have implied for over a century that these almost
unimaginable ages are correct. Rarely do people examine the shaky
assumptions and growing body of contrary evidence. Therefore, most
people today almost instinctively believe that the Earth and universe
are billions of years old. Sometimes, these people are disturbed, at
least initially, when they see the evidence.

Actually, most dating techniques indicate that the Earth and solar
system are young--possibly less than 10,000 years old.
