Creationism’s views are not included.

I was reading through the ‘earth’ page. unsurprisingly, I was dissapointed because it only shows the beliefs of evolutionism. I am not here to dispute with anyone, however if Wikipedia wants to be a place where you can find information about everything, this should include a header for creationism’s opinion about the age of the earth. In this case there would be many more things that would have to be changed to make the site more inclusive for different pages. Not just creationism beliefs but others too, and in that also the different headers of 7 day creation, the gap theory, etc. There is enough proof to show that the world isn’t millions of years old and there are people who believe that to be the truth. So, if you want wikipedia to be a place where you can find accurate knowledge on different topics, include the different theories to make your case more plausible.

For ideas on how to make this happen, watch as an example: dr Kent Hovind, age of the eart and his creation seminars. Lovenialler79 (talk) 01:41, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ian.thomson, will this ever stop? Drmies (talk) 01:55, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Drmies: Not until American Christendom finally gets that right-wing Evangelical Conservatism is really a political ploy to replace Christ's teachings with racial and sexual hatred by way of plastering over the Apostle's Creed with neo-gnosticism, Mammon worship, Caesar worship, and other blasphemies.

Haha, tell me how you really feel. I was at one of those places this morning, and I can confirm that they drive really big cars. Drmies (talk) 02:17, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Age of the Earth based on the recessing rate of the Moon

The Age of the Earth can be calculated from the recession rate of the Moon

away from the Earth. The recession rate must be center to center, not surface to surface. Lasers put the surface to Surface recession rate at 38.2 mm per year. The center to surface of the Earth average was 4.16 mm in the 2003 recalibration of the Global Positioning System. They later decided to make it zero by selecting 157 reference points straddling zero. The Moon is small, around 1.13 mm or less. The total is about 43.49 mm per year.

The Change in the distance divided by the total distance is proportional to the change in the time divided by the 2 times the time, is proportional to the change in the mass divided by the mass.

The Monkey wrench comes in that the Earth accelerates the Moon to a higher orbit while decelerating itself to a lower orbit, while remaining colinear with the E-M Barycenter. The Earth spirals inward about 0.5 mm per year. This cuts the distance down to just under 43 mm per year increase in the distance. The total distance is 384,405 Km, which when converted to millimeters is 384,405,000,000 mm. So 43/ 384,405,000,000 is about one part in 9 billion. Cut this in half and you get the age at around 4.5 billion.

The problem with this method is that it relies on average growth rates that are highly variable depending upon which arm of the Milky Way Galaxie we are passing thru at any given time period, and the expansion of the Universe modifies the apparent growth rate as well.
