Abstract
Every year, the moon moves an inch or so farther away from earth. It may not seem like much, but that tiny movement puts a big limit on the moon's age. How Old Is Our Moon? The Bible says God made the moon on Day Four of Creation Week, and the Bible's genealogies reveal that this happened roughly 6,000 years ago. But that's not the story we hear today. Most science museums, websites, TV shows, and textbooks claim the moon formed by natural processes about 4.5 billion years ago. How do we resolve such vast differences?
