The amount of cosmic dust that would have been expected to have accumulated on the earth (or moon) after billions of years is not present.
The abundance of micrometeroids (dust particles in space) by no means harmonizes with evolutionary dates for the earth and the rest of the universe. If the earth and the universe are as old as evolutionists believe, there should be no micrometeoroids remaining.
Comets decay, or break up, as they pass the sun, but they are not replenished. If evolutionary dates for the earth and our solar system were accurate, comets would not exist in the solar system.
The spin of the earth on its axis continues to diminish gradually. Based on the present rate, if the earth began turning billions of years ago, it would have been turning so fast that it would have become flattened.
Decay on the earth’s magnetic field has been documented since 1835, and Magsat (an American space satellite) verified this decay. At the present rate of decay, twenty thousand years ago the earth’s magnetic field would have produced heat intense enough to liquefy the earth; one million years ago, the heat would have been enough to vaporize it.
If the earth were billions of years old, there should be more helium and oxygen in the atmosphere than there is. The hydrogen concentration in the atmosphere supports a young earth rather than one billions of years old.
Erosion gradually wears down land, but the earth still has sharp geographical features. If the earth is billions of years old, the effects of erosion should be more pronounced.
If earth’s horizontal crustal layers of rock formed slowly and if at the same time the earth was undergoing erosion for billions of years, the strata should not show the distinct layering that we see.
Pressure that causes oil wells to be “gushers” should have dissipated if the earth were more than about 10,000 years old.
Sediments in the ocean are only a few thousand feet thick at their thickest. If the ocean were as old as evolutionists claim, the ocean floor should have a layer of sediment about 100 miles thick and the continents should have been worn away long ago.
The population of the earth doubles regularly. If the world were billions of years old, the present population would be astounding, and there would not be room on the earth for all the people.
We would expect to find records of extremely ancient civilizations if the earth is as old as evolutionists claim, but no records of extremely ancient civilizations exist. Even Earth’s oldest writings support the idea of an earth that is only thousands of years old; there is no hint in them that the earth has existed for more than some thousands of years.
