1. The Sun is shrinking at the rate of 5 ft/hr. The Earth is 93 million miles away from the Sun. In less than 20 million years, the Sun would have been so large that it would touch the surface of the Earth. Further, if the Sun had more mass, the gravity pull would be much larger and the Earth would have been sucked into the Sun long before 20 million years.
2. Short-period comets, like the Haley Comet in our solar system, whose life expectancy is only 10,000 years old, would have been blown apart by the solar winds years ago if they were older.
3. Absence of fossilized meteorites in different layers of strata on Earth proves that Evolution is a farse. According to evolution, different layers of strata were exposed for billions and billions of years, but only the top layers of the Earth have fossilized meteorites, and that in abundance.
4. The Moon is receding from the Earth every year. If the Earth were billions of years old, then the Moon would have been too close to the Earth. According to the inverse square law, the tides would have been so strong that everything would have died twice a day!
5. The Moon has short lived isotopes, like the Uranium 236.
6. The Space Dust is being vacuumed by the Robertson Effect. The smaller particles are blown out, the bigger particles are sucked in together. If the Universe were so old, it would be clean, dust free by now.
7. The Universe could not be more than 10,000 years old, because the rate of the star cluster is expanding. The Orion Starts are traveling rapidly.
8. Saturn's rings are still unstable, showing they are possibly less than 6,000 years old. If they were billions of years old, they would have stabilized by the binding of the denser particles and the smaller particles together.
9. Jupiter, Saturn, and its little moon "I-O" are cooling off very rapidly, but they are still very hot. If billions of years had passed, they should have been cold already.
10. The Earth's magnetic field is decreasing half a life every 830 years. This magnetic field can't be more than 10,000 years; there is no way to reverse it.
11.Look at the amount of lava and volcanoes on Earth. The Volume of lava ÷ Rate of lava coming out of the volcanoes = Amount of years. If the Earth was billions of years old, there would be much more lava on the surface of the planet.
12. Look at the amount of minerals in the sea. The amount of minerals in the sea ÷ Influx of minerals into the sea = Amount of years. This shows only a few thousand years.
13. Look at the formation rate of Helium in the Atmosphere. This shows the Earth could be at the most 0.2 million years -- God created the Earth with some Helium already.
14. The Erosion Rate of the continents is so large that the Earth would have eroded to sea level in 14 million years.
15. The top soil formation on Earth is formed at a steady rate which shows only a few thousand years.
16. Erosion rate of Niagara Falls
17. Oil Pressure would have leaked out if the earth were billions of years old. Scientists can get garbage and turn into oil in a lab in 20 minutes.
18. The size of the Mississippi river delta ÷ The amount of mud being deposited = The time the delta has been in existence. This shows less than 30,000 years old. Noah's flood deposited 80% of the delta in a few days.
19. The Earth slows down as it spins at a rate of a thousandth of a second. In a million years, the earth would have been spinning too fast for life on earth.
20. There is only a small amount of settlement on the ocean floor.
21. The largest stalactites and stone formation in caves around the earth only show a few thousand years, like in the Sequoia Cave in Tennessee. Stalactites grow rapidly, at a rate of 1 inch every year; the largest stalactite shows to be about 4,400 years old. In Florida, there are stalactites of 16 inches growing from an electrical wire.
22. The Sahara desert is expanding. Once the soil is depleted, it is irreversible. The expansion rate is 4 miles per year at the present moment. At a rate of ¼ mile per year, the age of the Earth would come to about 4,400 years old.
23. The seas are getting saltier every year. If the Earth was billions of years old, the oceans would be too salty for any form of life by now.
24. The current world population is 5½ billion. If we started with 8 people 4,000 years ago, this would give us a population of 5 or 6 billion.
25. The oldest coral reef is 4,200 years old in Australia. Remember that Noah's Flood was about 4,400 years ago.
26. The oldest living tree is 4,300 years old.
27. The oldest known historical date is 6,000 years ago. The oldest written form is very complex; humans were not stupid.

I especially appreciate how consistent you were when pointing out "lower bound for the age of the earth, not an upper." I have a few more points now that I've seen yours and have had more time to let things sink in.
