* The [[Earth]]'s [[magnetism]] is changing at too fast a rate for the Earth to be old.  The Earth's magnetic field is weakening in strength by 5% every 100 years: This has occurred some 170 times over the last 76 million years. The last time this happened was approximately  770,000 years ago<ref>[http://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/poetry/tour/AAmag.html Earth's Magnetic Field and its Changes in Time], from [[NASA]]</ref>.  Exponential decay at that rate is not compatible with an old Earth, since it would have required the Earth's magnetic field to be impossibly large at the times postulated by old-Earth theory.  
 
* the existence of inland salt-water lakes, such as [[Mono Lake]] and the [[Great Salt Lake]], suggest a recent global [[flood]]
