Irrefutable Proof The Earth is Only 6000 Years Old
Recession of the Moon
1. The moon is currently an average 38,440,000,000 cm (384,400 km) away from the center of the Earth.
2. The moon recedes (moves further away) at 3.82±0.07 cm per year. This occurs because the moon causes tides, but the Earth rotates faster than the moon orbits, and thus the tidal bulges are "pulled" ahead, and thus the moon is "pulled" more by the gravity of the closer bulge, which increases its orbital speed, which moves it to a higher orbit. Conversely, this slows the Earth's rotation.
3. The Roche limit is a distance of 2.44 times a planet's radius, as measured from the center of the planet, within which an orbiting body, if chiefly held together by gravity, will be pulled apart. In Earth's case, it is about 1,840,000,000 cm (18,400 km).
If we assume that this rate was constant for the past 30,000 years, the moon would have moved 114,600 cm, or about 0.000298% of the total distance and 0.000313% of the distance to the Roche limit.
If we assume that this rate was constant for about 4,600,000,000 (4.6 bn) years (the accepted age of the Earth and the moon), the moon would have moved about 17,572,000,000 cm, or about 45.7% of the total distance and about 48.0% of the distance to the Roche limit.
And finally, if we assume that this rate was constant, it would take about 10,000,000,000 (10 bn) years for the moon to touch Earth.
Thus, it is definitively proven that, if we assume (as is posited in the video) that the rate is constant, the recession of the moon is not evidence for Young Earth creationism.
