Some interesting observations!!

Many Textbooks of today Imply that our world is billions of years old. I did some reasearch on this topic concering space. I wondered how old this earth really is. It came to my attention this world cannot be billions of years old.
Then why are textbooks treating this theory as fact? Why are so many people believing it too?
Here are the results of this study.

Some Evidence in Space

The Rotation of the Earth
The rotation of the earth is gradually slowing due to the gravitational drag forces of the sun, moon and other factors. Did you know we have a leap second every year and a half now because the earth is slowing down?
“Earth’s Rotation is slowing down. To compensate for this lagging motion, June will be one second longer than normal. This ‘Leap Second’ announced by the International Earth Rotation Service in February, will keep calendar time in close alignment with international time.” —Astronomy Magazine, June 1992, p 24

Earth Rotation Service
If the earth is six thousand years old like the Bible says, this is not a problem. Adam wouldn't notice. He didn't have a watch anyway. =) But, If the earth is billions of years old, there is a problem. The days and nights would be pretty quick. Get up, go to bed, get up, go to bed. Centrifugal force would be enormous. The winds would be 5000 mph from the Coriolis effect. And if dinosaurs lived 200 million years ago, I know what happened to them. They got blown off.

The centrifugal force would have been so great that the continents would have been sent to the equatorial regions and the overall shape of the earth would have been more like a flat pancake! If the earth were billions of years old, why have we not stopped spinning already so that the rate of rotation is zero? No, dinosaurs did not live 200 million years ago. It is just not true. The earth is not billions of years old.

Evidence for the Bible
Population
The current population of earth (5.5 billion souls) could easily be generated from eight people (survivors of the Flood) in less than 4000 years. (1, p. 167; 2, p. 27; 3, p. 41; 4)

Regardless of the future, the current population shows only 4400 years of growth. The world topped 6 billion in 1999.



The world is not totally crowded!

If you believe in evolution, and that man has been here for 3 million years, you have a problem. In 3 million years, the population would have grown so that there would be 150,000 people per square inch!

That would be crowded!


Oldest Things Alive Today are around 4200 years old
The oldest living coral reef is less than 4200 years old. (3, p. 39; 4)


The oldest living tree in the world is about 4300 years old. (3, p. 40; 4)



Another factor to consider: The genetic load in man is increasing. Geneticists have cataloged nearly 1300 genetic disorders in the human race. It is certainly reasonable to believe that the human race was created perfect from the hand of the Creator but has been going downhill as a result of our disobedience to the laws established by the Creator and the increased radiation from the sun. The Bible teaches that we live in a sin-cursed world as a result of Adam’s sin.

Decreasing Magnetic Field
The Earth's magnetic field is getting weaker and weaker. It cannot be billions of years old. Carbon dating can not work for more than a few thousand years.


Earth’s magnetic strength has declined 6% in the last 150 years. Astronomy and the Bible Donald DeYoung, p. 18
Decreasing Speed of Spin of Earth
The slowing spin of the earth limits its age to less than the "billions of years" called for by the theory of evolution.

The earth is spinning over 1000 mph at the equator.
