→‎Rate of Recession: The moon's orbit itself is unstable, and it wouldn't take much extrapolation backwards before it becomes impossible to fast-forward to what the moon is doing now. For example,

:I commented the section out, as  the ''extrapolation backwards'' isn't shown: two weeks should have been enough to come up with some calculation/estimation. As I have shown [[Talk:Counterexamples_to_an_Old_Earth#Receding_Moon|here]], the ''extrapolation backwards'' doesn't lead to a contradiction.

:: There is less discussion of this in universities than there should be, because quickly it leads to the conclusion of a young earth-moon model.  Tides are not the only problem with extrapolating backwards.  The moon's orbit itself is unstable, and it wouldn't take much extrapolation backwards before it becomes impossible to fast-forward to what the moon is doing now.  For example, extrapolate back far enough and the moon would be drifting towards the earth, not away as currently observed.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 00:54, 22 July 2010 (EDT)
