|The Moon currently recedes from the Earth at a rate of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) per year<ref>NASA [http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEhelp/ApolloLaser.html]</ref>. NASA also states that the moon is 4.6 billion years old [http://history.nasa.gov/SP-350/ch-15-2.html]; this creates difficulties since it implies that mankind has been present for cvery close to 4.6 billion years. How can this have been, since following the Bible from day 4 (moon creation), and counting generations from Adam/Eve, Cain etc., would require the bible to be much, much longer than the 6,000 years implied by creation-theory. Either we use NASA 'facts' (all of them), and deal with inconsistencies like this, or we strike any and all references to NASA. Do we put our faith in "science", or God? Cherry-picking from Nasa only opens us up to accusations of inconsistency and hypocrisy.

The Moon could never have been closer than about 11,000 miles or it would have been broken up by tidal forces.<ref name="js">Sarfati, Jonathan, [http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/764/ The moon: the light that rules the night], ''Creation'' 20(4):36–39, September 1998.</ref>
