Yes Bill S the rocks bought back give those dates, assuming you believe we went there :-)

We are still going to extrodanary lengths to keep the myth alive (http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=34522) ... :-)

There is of coarse a different argument you could mount there is evidence that the moon was hit and pancaked by another body (http://www.space.com/12529-earth-2-moons-collision-moon-formation.html). So you could argue this small body was gravity captured and was much older material and thats what was brought back.

Don't you love science without controls :-)

We might be able to at least limit some of that argument with a new experiment (http://www.newscientist.com/blogs/shortsharpscience/2011/09/man-in-the-moon-to-get-ct-scan.html)


Preearth would have to tell you what he believes I haven't seen anything definitive from him beyond his usual tirad's.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
