How Young is the Moon?
Ex Nihilo, Volume 3, Issue 2, May 1980
Review by Greg Neyman

Young earth creation science authors Mackay, Spence, and Davies pose questions to high school students in this assignment, meant to show that the moon cannot possibly be millions of years old.
The basis of their argument is that the radioactive element Neptunium is only found on the moon. The authors say that it has not been found to occur naturally on earth. Unfortunately for this article, it has been found to occur naturally on earth, associated with uranium ores. Thus, the entire article is a pointless exercise.

If you are not a Christian, and you have been holding out on making a decision for Christ because the Church always preached a message that was contrary to what you saw in the scientific world, then rest assured that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and you can believe in Christ and receive salvation, while still believing in an old earth.
