[_ Old Earth _] Moon Dust / Millions of years ?

how and why did scientists get it so wrong ? - twinc

Desire to come up with some sort of answer for their superiors or whatever, under a felt or directed obligation.

Carbon dating is likely a lie. I know that it can be made to sound plausible through science babble, but who could really put forth an accurate dating of old objects? That's pretty far fetched. But the boss man wanted an answer, so... here you go boss. lol. Gotta keep that paycheck coming.

The reality of this world, as we all know...is about spirituality and God, does he exist or do we have faith in Him? So everything should be viewed with a religion based (per se) outlook and the possibility of outright deception towards the agenda of steering us away from having faith in our Lord.

Strangely enough, when NASA scientists took a look at the amount of dust falling into the Earth's atmosphere from space, they very accurately predicted the amount that is on the moon. Not much.

It has nothing to do with this. Its half-life is so short that it can't be used for things that are more than about 50,000 years old. However, it has been calibrated by using lake varves of testable age, and the calibration curve is pretty close to what we had before that was possible. Would you like to see?

how about the extra long legs fitted to the spacecraft to prevent it sinking into the expected moondust etc - twinc

Can you reference a source that shows the Apollo descent-modules' landing-gear was designed with this in mind?

as far as I know or can recall it was shown on world wide television with the astronauts coming down ladders - twinc

- the landing-gear doesn't look very much longer than required to ensure the engine-nozzle clears the surface, which rather goes against your claim I queried.

Pretty unlikely. NASA, on encountering the primitive estimates of moon dust, undertook a lot of studies to check it out. Turns out, almost all the previous estimates included a lot of dust of terrestrial origin, and the real amount of dust falling in from space isn't very much.
