HARVEST MOON! What a great sight!
Did you know that America sent it's first Apollo Spacecraft to the moon on May 30, 1966? It landed on the lunar surface on June 2, 1966 and was designed to send back photographs of the moon's surface in preparation for a manned flight which would make history in July, 1969.
When the first Apollo 11 manned space craft landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, the astronauts and scientists were amazed that the surface of the moon is rock solid with just about 1/8" of accumulated solar dust! That would indicate that the moon was approximately 8,000 years old instead of 4.5 billion years old as per the speculations of evolutionary scientists and philosophers.

Don't you love to look up at a full moon on a clear night?
The moon is approximately 238,855 miles from earth. The size of the moon is approximately 1/4 the size of planet earth.
Our lunar moon orbits around the earth every 27.3 days. The gravity on the moon is just 17% of the gravity we have here on earth!
The Surveyor 1 Lunar Lander was equipped with large landing pods on long landing feet because some scientists were concerned about the cosmic dust that accumulates on the moon. At the present measurable rate of solar dust that is quietly settling upon both the moon and earth, scientists calculated that the dust could be as much as 54 feet deep, built up over the past 4.5 billion years.
Another scientific calculation that is troubling to the evolutionary calendar is the fact that the moon is very gradually receding away from planet earth. The distance from the moon to the earth is increasing every year by approximately 2 inches.
Two inches per year is not much but if you multiply that by 4.5 billion years as suggested by evolutionists, the moon would be nearly out of sight by now!
Is it possible that the evolutionary time table is wrong and that the moon and earth are young as taught in the Biblical account of creation?
"The universe has a wonderful story to proclaim. You will find clues about how it all began and when. Surprising discoveries about the moon have proven that it is very young instead of 4.5 billion years old as suggested by evolutionary scientists and philosophers."
