The Moon is slipping away from the Earth at a rate of appox. 4 cm or 1.6 in
per year

"2 billion years ago, the Moon would have been 24,000 miles away from the
Earth, orbiting the Earth 3.7 times per day, causing tides 1 million times
higher than those we see today."

Kinda hard to have evolution going on during all THAT chaos, eh?<G> Next...

"Scientists claim to have found the oldest evidence of photosynthesis - the
most important chemical reaction on Earth - in 3.7-billion-year-old rocks. "

Let's do the math. There is only 24000 miles left to go before the moon hits
the earth at the 2 billion year mark. Either the Earth was not here, or we
did not have a moon. I'll get to the third posibility in a moment.

See where this is headed yet? Ah, you Need more.

"Current theories about fossil preservation hold that organic molecules
should not preserve beyond 100,000 years."
"We performed multiple analyses of Tyrannosaurus rex (specimen MOR 1125)
fibrous cortical and medullary tissues remaining after demineralization. The
results indicate that collagen I, the main organic component of bone, has
been preserved in low concentrations in these tissues. The findings were
independently confirmed by mass spectrometry"

Maybe Dino's are not 65 million years old?

Maybe the Earth is not 65 million (much less 4.5 billion)years old either.

The moon is about 384,000 km away.
That's 384,000,000,000 mm
The moon is receding at 38mm per year.

Simplified math gives 384,000,000,000 divided by 38 is 10 billion.
Or the moon would be touching the earth 10 billion years ago.

Therefore 2 billions years ago the moon would have been
roughly 300,000 km away (about 185,000 miles), which
is a LOT more than 24,000.

Your source is wrong. The first link says nothing about the moon.

The second link is pure PRATT cretinoid bullshit that only
demonstrated the author, an you, ignorance and gullibility.

The third is about the possible descovery of soft tissue in the T-rex
leg bone, and is debatable.

It's being "pushed", or accelerated, not "slipping away". But the speed is
about right.

Bad arithmetic. Can't you get anything right? No? Where in hell did you
get this trash?

Age of Earth (and presumed age of the Moon, maybe that is a bit less)
4,500,000,000 years.

Speed of recession 0.04 m/yr (it's actually a bit less). Multiply the two
and assuming the rate has been constant, gives a distance increase of
180,000 km. The Moon is currently about 400,000 km from Earth, so this
estimate says the Moon was 220,000 km from Earth when it formed. Now, in
fact the secular acceleration has varied over time because it depends on the
distribution of seas, oceans, and landforms, but the above BOTE calculation
shows that your "plausibility argument" is crap.

Tides are proportional to the inverse cube of distance. For a distance of
half the present value, tides would have been about 8 times greater.

At a distance of 24,000 mi (40,000 km) the tides would have been about 1,000
times stronger. It is unlikely that life could have got a toehold under
such conditions, but the Moon moved to greater distances very quickly (on
geological time scales) and conditions were much more favourable by age
500,000,000 years.

Third possibility, the most probable, you can't do mathematics worth shit. I
would put money on it if the above is an example. However, you seem to have
quoted it from someplace so I'm unsure whether you got it from some
creationist website (which shows bad judgement on your part) or did the
calculation yourself (in which case I win the bet).

Or maybe previous ideas about preservation of some organic tissues were
incorrect. Dinos are at least 65 million years old.

If the above is your argument, all you have bupkis. In fact, bupkis is much

Try reading www.talkorigins.org/faqs/moonrec.html and
www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CE/CE110.html
Your web site assumed the rate of recession to have been higher in the
past.

Yes, let's. Your source obviously didn't, and neither did you. 4
cm/year x 2 billion years = 8 billion centimeters, or 80000
kilometers. The current average distance from the Earth to the Moon is
c.384403 kilometers, which, taking your rate of recession as correct,
would have made the distance 2 billion years ago around 304403
kilometers, or approximately 189070 miles, not 24000.

Once again, you show yourself to be completely clueless.

You assume the rate of decent is constant.

There are other factors you are not considering. For one: The rate of
decent will increase the closer the moon gets to the earth. Gravity, tidal
forces, etc.

Observed in the outbound direction, the tides act like friction. This causes
the moon to slow down as it drifts further out indicating that it was going
faster when it was closer to the earth.

But assuming you are correct and the distance is 185,000 miles, the moon
would do great destruction long before the 4.5 billion year mark.

Quite true.

To the best of my knowledge:

The most commonly accepted theory for the formation of the moon
is that soon after the earth formed, it was hit by another planet
sized object and crust material from the earth was scattered as
dust and rocks into earth orbit. The accretion of this material
eventually formed the moon.

The main evidence for this theory is that the mass of the moon
is so low that it appears to be formed entirely from material that
is like the crust of the earth.

Another agreement, here. The early moon was close to the earth and
the tidal forces would have wreaked great damage to the earth's
surface. However the origin of the moon was a catastrophic event and
that certainly wreaked much greater damage to the earth's surface! And
then there was the continued period of major bombardment that
continued to wreak great damage to the earth's surface. Then sometime
about 4 billion years ago, things tended to settle down a bit and an
atmosphere and oceans formed. OK, give or take a few hundred million
years!

Incidentally, it was Charles Darwin's son George who first studied
the tidal effects on the earth-moon system and proposed that the moon
must be receding away from the earth. A lot of George's ideas turned
out to be wrong, but that was the first mathematical analysis of the
gravitational-tidal system.

You have to rely on two factors. First, there is my scary persona I
am perfecting for Halloween. Second, there is the unfortunate (for
me) fact that I am often wrong. That is, unless I have done my
homework and sling bushels of citations from the scientific literature
at you!

Then there is the additional factor (so I lied, there are three) that
with Larry Moran's absence we need a curmudgeonly grouch in the group.

The third possibility (which actually accounts for 100% of the available
probability space) is that you haven't got even the remotest clue about
anything you talk about. It's really too bad, because the scientific effort
to understand tides is a very long and interesting, well worthy of
study. There are a number of good websites which might point you in the
right direction, but one dealing directly with creationist claims appears
on talk.origins.

Given that science's best idea on how it was formed was as ejecta during
a collison, the damage was done pretty thoroughly long before it reached
185,000 miles.

1) Your moon business is totally fallacious. There are a large

origin and history of the moon and you are just plain wrong, wrong,
wrong based on everything we know about physics and astronomy and
geology. It doesn't matter whether the rate of receding of the moon
from the earth is constant or not; it doesn't matter how close the
moon was to the earth at the time of its formation. During this time
that life evolved on earth, nothing about the moon and its orbit and
the tides are incompatible with the scenarios proposed about the early
history of the earth and life on it.

You raise a second totally unrelated issue about organic matter being
found with T rex fossils. It certainly is true that nobody expected
that biological molecules could be found that old. That is why the
scientific paper you cite has a special section concerning the
"chemical stability of molecules over time" (as described in the
abstract). The statement you cite that "organic molecules should not
preserve beyond 100,000 years" may have been held at one time but that
statement is now found to have been wrong. People get corrected all
the time. That is what happens in science. That is what happens in

It's because he is so blindly ignorant that he doesn't even understand
how wrong he is! This is evident in all his attempts, but to me most
hilariously in the bits involving Steve Carlip with regard to string
theory -- he is so clueless he doesn't even see how moronic he looks.

Since he does not, in fact, understand anything of what he says, there
is of course no way he can answer criticism directed at it (even if he
were -- unlikely as that is -- willing to do so). So the obvious thing
(for him!) to do is just start another moronic thread.

Why don't you all just ignore or killfile him?

4 cm * 2,000,000,000 = 80,000,000 m = 80,000 km.
Average orbital distance moon-earth: 384,400 km.

According to the numbers given by the morontheist itself we would therefore
look at an orbit of about 300,000 km 2 billion years ago.

24,000 miles = 38,400 km, roughly.

Oh well, wrong only by about a factor of eight. For a braindead morontheist
that's actually not too bad I guess.

Yup arsemoron, thanks for the laugh. You know, if you had ever seen a
classroom from the inside you might actually have learned some basic maths
and such a shameful blunder might then not have happened to you.

*applause for the hilarious moron*

(that is, of course, assuming the unlikely option that arsemoron actually
did the calculations itself instead from just copy/pasting from some
cretinist website)

He copied it from the website he mentioned in the original post. They
made the erroneous assumption that the moon's recession speed was
greater in the past.

It would appear that he simply can't admit that he could ever be wrong about
anything. Logical people can and do admit error; I, for example, have
admitted to him that I was wrong about something I'd thought he did. Even
when caught red-handed he cannot admit error. All he does is snip out the
parts of replies showing his error and then make inane replies, typically
consisting of a paragraph or two. The shorter his reply, the more clear it
was to all (possibly including him) that he was wrong. You got the shortest
possible reply, so I'd say that the probability that he knows he's wrong is
quite high. The probability that he will ever admit it is quite low.

Actually, no. I think that both of you need to begin reading for

I have already admitted that I was wrong in at least one thing; you have

And I thought that you'd killfiled me. You did that the day after you noted
that I'd admitted error. Have you forgotten that?

Google is not your friend, laddie. Anyone who wants to can easily determine

Quite so. Anyone who has an offline newsreader (such as, oh, me) can view the

arbitrary cut-off point they or their newsfeed desire. I have my system drop
posts 35 days or more old, but I can get anything posted here up to at least
3.5 _years_ ago by removing that restriction and refreshing my local cache.
Beyond that I'd have to go to Google, but Google's easily available so that's

Well I don't mind arsemoron copy/pasting the stuff (okay actually I do mind
but that's what I expect to see when I decide to read one of its postings
just for fun...), and that thing about a ludicrously high recession speed
is a standard thing to be found in morontheist claims anyway... but I still
want to almost literally piss my pants laughing when I read this totally
moronic thing presented as if one would need years of studies of advanced
mathematics to find that painful error. I mean, wrong by a factor of 1.5 or
even 2, that can happen... especially when one works with rough estimates,
like I admittedly did in my posting. But EIGHT?! Give me a break! :)

I mean, what the fuck, which grade does one commonly learn to do
multiplication in?! Sheesh!

I guess I still can't fully wrap my mind around the stunning level of
ignorance that is standard (and in fact a prerequisite) for morontheists.
Even though I've seen the crap for years now. :)

The Viti crater and associated fissures produced 2 km^3 of tephra in
in the course of an 8.5 hour eruption in 1875. This explains why
today, all of Iceland is covered in tephra to a depth of about 64
feet.

Dolt.

The moon was probably formed from debris ejected by a collision
between the proto-earth and another mars-sized object about 4.56
billion years ago.

South African rocks indicate that 3.2 billion years ago, the moon
orbited Earth in about 20 days, and was 25-percent closer to Earth
than it is today. But Earth was also spinning faster, so there would
have been about 550 16-hour days in a year.

The moon rocks are lighter and drier than rocks on the earth,
indicating that they were formed from the upper crust of the two
bodies, and were subjected to extreme heat.

There is no 'rate of decent (sic)'. The moon is receding from the
earth.

around 4.5 billion years old.

Yes it certainly is. JJ OShea is most certainly someone who places
him/herself in a horizontal position, as when going to sleep at night.
As to whether or not telling falsehoods is involved, that would
require an entirely different word.

And justified. After all, i don't have to believe that Don Quichote
and Sancho Panza really existed to quote Cervantes or think that the
Man from La Mancha does have a point every now and then.

So you share his problem regarding knowledge of the meaning

No, it's not evidence of anything. If you post some calculations and
they are challenged you should be prepared to discuss those challenges.
The fact that you hide behind short irrelevant answers suggests that you
do not understand the basis of the calculations you posted. The fact
that you think the findings of someone who "used a computer" cannot be
challenged by simple maths suggests you do not understand simple maths.
Yet your original post relies on simple maths.

If you showed some sign that you were actually trying to grapple with
the ideas being presented here and do some independent thinking people
would respect you for it regardless of whether they agree with you. If
you ask for help understanding the figures there are plenty of people
here who would provide it. Anyone can be wrong, and admitting a mistake
here and there will not destroy your whole belief system.

It's worse than that. If he thought he was right, he would try to defend
himself, but instead of even trying, he just insults people. He is
repeating lies that he surely at least suspects are lies, but he repeats
them anyway.

Maybe someday he will learn something about religion, but I doubt it. He
is clinging too hard to his fantasy about religion, hoping beyond hope
that he can still be saved if enough people clap their hands.

> Why don't you all just ignore or killfile him?

I'm tempted, but is his such a good case study in pathology.

You're not helping your cause by objecting to heekster's language
rather than (M)-adman's abject stupidity. Face it, (M)-adman
cut-and-pasted from a Creationist website without bothering to check
if what it said was true, and got his butt kicked over it, with the
basic arithmetic shown for all to see exactly why what he posted was
completely wrong.

If you're less offended by stupidity from people on your side than by
words referring to body parts, then I don't know what to suggest to
you, other than to give up reading.
