The Age of the Earth Is Based on the Earth and Moon Covered in Dust, Not 4 Billion Years Ago

Dust on both the moon and the earth indicate that both bodies were created at about the same time as the Biblical age of the earth, not 4 billion years ago, but 4,000 – 6,000 years ago. Before the astronauts landed on the moon, scientists predicted that the layer of cosmic dust on the moon's surface would be 70 feet to a mile deep due to the age of the universe and the known deposition rate of dust from space on the earth. No one has yet explained why the dust was only 1 – 2 inches thick, giving the moon an age of somewhere around 4,000 – 6,000 years. Likewise, cosmic dust on the earth is not covered in the 280 feet to four miles thick that it would be if the earth was four billion years old, and does not contain the amount of nickel found in cosmic dust.

These evidences of moon dust and earth covered in dust strongly indicate that the time of creation may be more like the Biblical age of the earth than the billions of years that the scientific community has generally accepted. It presents facts that should warrant the study of the Bible in schools as an historical document. See also Creation Science evidence and speed of light.
