Atheists: Explain why there is only a couple inches of dust on the Moon.

Yeah sorry about the dust the vac bag blew on landing and was ejected on to the surface of the moon when the door was opened on the craft. I regret if it caused any confusion of thought, have a nice day, NASA information representative of the UK.

So this is what you're going with to convince us your bible fairy tales are true? Cuz Noah's ark makes A LOT off sense...

LOL kind of like the universe popping into existence out of nothing?!

Moon-dust argument no longer useful

For years, a common and apparently valid argument for a recent creation was to use uniformitarian assumptions to argue that the amount of dust on the moon was less than 10,000 years’ worth.

In an important paper, geologist Dr Andrew Snelling from Australia’s Creation Science Foundation [now Creation Ministries International], and former Institute for Creation Research graduate student Dave Rush, have examined in minute detail all the evidence relating to this argument.1 They have shown that:
1.
The amount of dust coming annually on to the earth/moon is much smaller than the amount estimated by (noncreationists) Pettersson, on which the argument is usually based.

2.
Uniformitarian assumptions cannot therefore justifiably be turned against evolutionists to argue for a young age.

3.
Most NASA scientists, in fact, were convinced before the Apollo landings that there was not much dust likely to be found there.


Interestingly, Snelling and Rush’s research found that anti-creationist critics, in their haste to demolish the argument, had used figures which err greatly in the opposite direction.

For example, theistic evolutionists from Calvin College, after scathingly critiquing creationists for alleged erroneous handling of data, do precisely that and arrive at a figure for moon-dust influx only about one-twentieth of that which should have been correctly concluded from the literature they consulted. 2

The moon-dust argument was easy to understand and explain. Nevertheless, as we have indicated before, creationists as well as evolutionists need to be prepared to re-examine arguments as new and better data emerges.

No don't believe that either, and in turn don't live my life by a book of stories retranslated 100 times in fear of the wrath of god.

Organized religion is for the scared, confused and ignorant who HAVE to have an answer instead of just living a good life. *Most* that attend church and supposably follow this doctrine are the biggest Hippocrates of them all when it comes to how they actually live their lives.

Sounds like you've experienced it first hand?

Everyday from the scared sheeple around me..

Will not hesitate to say I don't have the answers to a lot of it but Im ok with that and I know enough to see the corrupt game of organized religion

What does that have to do with atheists?

Walrus?

Because the earth is young

Four billion years young.

Doesn't look a day over 3.9 billion.


Stripes, you see. Jupiter didn't follow that advice, and look at Jupiter!

Cause I f*ckin' say so beo'tch":

Thanks You! I love when these atheists use the word fairy tale while at the same time believing that the universe just blew into existence and humans evolved from rocks.

Great theory... who believes in fairy tales?
