Tuppence just me:

Jovaro, the men you are criticizing are both astronomers. Danny Faulkner is a professor of astronomy. Basically, he knows what he is talking about! Barry Setterfield lectured in astronomy to an astronomical society for six years back in Australia. These men really do know what they are talking about.

Yes, you read the article, but you did not understand it!

Oh please tuppence...

The moon being against the earth 1.4 billion years ago... Yeah right. It is a fact that we do not know where the moon came from or when we got it. So claiming that the earth can't be older then 1.4 billion years is ridiculous, especially if you are an astronomer.

Barry Setterfield is correct in his redenation but we don't use just some star to measure the difference between orbital time and atomic time (and our rotation) but the sun. That makes quite a difference and an astronomer should know that.

I think we can no where the moon came from:

Genisis 1:

(14) And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
(15) And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
(16) And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
(17) And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
(18) And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
(19) And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Revelation 10:6
who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein,

Ephesians 3:
9) And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

Colosians 1:
12) Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
(13) Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
(14) In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
(15) Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
(16) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
(17) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

God made the moon. My biology book says so. And the writer would be more than glad to give you a lecture on the subject if you invite Him to do so.

Revelation 3:
20) Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
