A dear friend of mine claims that the mans theories are sound, and that his math works out. I'd like a thread dedicated to stopping these ridiculous claims. His first is this.
The rate at which the earth is slowing down can be used to prove that the earth was spinning so fast life would have been ejected into space at the 4.5 billion mark. He uses simple multiplication to reap his answer, stating that the gradual slow down rate of the earth according to nasa means that *Rate* x *4.5billion* = *Incredibly high number*
Is that not the dumbest math ever? I've shown him the complete math to figure out how long the day was, and did the actual mph conversion from that and came up with about 1800mph for 3.5 billion years ago. He says that's not how it's done. I'm not exactly what one would call "skilled" with math so keep it somewhat simple. I may be back to ask further questions, or require help to refute more dumb claims.
