And, here is the problem most Christians have. You will never admit logical defeat, no matter the proof.

Do you understand that the earth's rotation is SLOWING down over time? Do you agree that if we go backwards in time that the earth rotated FASTER. (am i going slow enough for you?)
OK, now this is tricky, and I might not get it correctly because several people here say I am clueless.
When you speed up rotation, gravity has a greater effect, as in you get heavyer. Go back less than one million years and you have a earth that is spinning fast enough that there is no way anything can live with gravity that harsh. Go back a bit farther and soon the earth is spinning so fast that things actually fly off. And you want to go back, how many years? Trillions? hmmm, lets see, i dont think so.

Next, our moon, over time, has been pulling away from the earth. Again, if we go back wards in time then the moon gets CLOSER. Its not very long before it colides with the earth. (now hold on, im not finished so dont go getting on your soap box about it coming from the earth)

The way evolution puts things, dinosoars roamed earth billions of years ago. Besides the fact that the earth would be spinning so fast that they could not of possibly stand up under the pull of that great a gravity, it was stated that the moon splintered off the earth either at about this time or before it.

Well, if you bring the moon back towards the earth at the rate in which it is moving away now (and btw, it would have been a different rate due to the pull of earth gravity because it was closer, but lets just let that go for now) The moon would have collided with the earth way before evolution puts it departing from the earth.

I have given you two LOGICAL reasons why the earth could not be trillions of years old as you state.
