Did you know that the moon is getting farther away from the earth every year? Well, about 1.5 million years ago, the earth would have been so close to the moon, that all the dinosaurs would have been mooned to death. The Moon killed the dinosaurs!!!!! (BTW, this proves the earth is not millions of years old.)

wow, who'd have thought that dinosaurs were such delicate creatures... Fundies, OTOH, are quite used to being in close proximity with their "moon", so it wouldn't work on them.
(on a side note: dinosaurs died 65 millions years ago, fucktard!)
We should hold some sort of competition, a "Dumb-off" if you will, between some of these... uh... people. A battle of "wits" between BigChrisfilm, JohnR7, dad and mamacags, WooHoo! Of course, that much stupidity all in one place probably causes cancer or something, so maybe we had best skip it.
Hahaha, is he fucking serious?
How would that even work? Is the idea that um... the gravity would fuck them up or something? Or is he actually imagining the moon pressed against the earth, grinding any dinosaurs in between?
Hahahahaha. Surely this can't be serious.
Ah yes, argument from bad math. These are always fun.
As Hadanelith pointed out, extrapolating millions of years from a hundred years of data (if even that) is almost guaranteed to be wildly inaccurate. Zoom in close enough and any continuously differentiable curve looks linear. More to the point, there are obvious physical reasons the moon's distance from earth would *not* be changing at a constant rate.
<<< Hahahahaha. Surely this can't be serious. >>>
You overestimate BCF's intelligence. He's either an extraordinarily devoted troll or dead serious and nearly as dumb as JohnR7.
@"KJV Exodus 33:17-23"
17And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
19And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
If God can moon Moses without any serious consequences, than the dinosaurs will survive the mooning of the real moon.
Actually, the dinosaurs were not mooned to death. They were asteroided to death. Even if you must invent new words (or new meanings for them), please at least have them reflect the proper sense. Thank you.

wait, so god created man and put him on a planet he also created (which happened to have some dinosaurs on it, even though it wasn't created yet; another topic for another time) which would mean what? God effectively mooned the dinosaurs to death?
your god is so metal!
Actually, moron, if the moon were close enough to kill the dinosaurs(somehow, possibly moonination or exotic tricolaride particle death blast radiation), it would be INSIDE THE ATMOSPHERE, or at least close enough that it would be pulled INTO the fucking planet.
Mooned to death!!!
BTW, Everything you said made sense except the BTW.
The moon does recede. It is likely to have collided with us (or "mooned us") in the past. Traces of the pacific ocean floor and the moon's surface are found on each other.
It is hard to tell just how long ago, although it could have been the age of dinosaurs.
*sorry for blank post*
The stupid! IT BURNS!
Shouldn't this site be called "DebunkingChristianity?" After I picked myself off the floor from laughing so hard, I had one thought on mooning to death, "Chris, you can kiss my ass."
I suddenly have mential images of dinosaurs dancing the night away to the sound of Credence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising."
Jeez, I wish I could draw cartoons. I would have a field day with this one.
The size of the Moon's orbit is currently increasing at 3.82 ± 0.07 cm/year (based on forty years of laser range-finding off of the reflectors that the Apollo astronauts left behind).
The Moon's orbit has a semimajor axis (close enough to it's average distance) of 384399 km right now.
If the recession rate were constant, the Moon would have been at a semimajor axis of zero just about 10 billion years ago.
Your Argument Is Invalid
As it happens, the Moon was receding far more quickly during the first few hundred million years of its existence, and the current trajectory models are nicely consistent with the 4.4 Gyr time of the Moon-forming impact based on radioisotope ages of lunar rocks.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
