Did you know our moon is slowly spiraling away from earth? Yes, in the past, the moon was closer than it is now.

If you believe in billions of years, this is a big problem. Less than one-and-a-half billion years ago the moon would’ve been touching earth. But if the moon were even remotely that close, gravity would’ve shattered it. In this millions-of-years view, we shouldn’t still have our moon. It should either have long drifted away, or it should’ve shattered.

But the Bible says God created the moon just a few thousand years ago. In this time, the moon has only moved about 800 feet. You know what? Our moon is young.
