The evolutionary timescale is based on the uniformitarian principles that things happened in the past at the same steady rate as today, but do not allow for cataclysms such as the Flood. Also a pre-Flood vapour canopy would have inhibited formation of carbon14 in the upper atmosphere, so items dated soon after the Flood would appear much older.
Professor George Dodwell, Australian astronomer between 1909 &1952 studied ancient records of the tilt of the earth's axis. He collected 66 records covering 4000 years. The earth's angle to Sun varies over time (shown on maps) tilting between 22.5 & 24 degrees, due to pull of moon etc. Dodwell checked the tilt against those of Stockwell and Newcombe, they diverged on a distinct curve which departed as they went back in time. A graph would show a long sine curve, which is the form a gyroscope takes in returning to stable rotation after it has been knocked off course. Extrapolate back -this curve was vertical about 4500 years ago, meaning the earth suffered a severe impact, possibly a meteor around 2500BC. the largest crater shape on earth is the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by an earthquake ring. Magnetic reversals in the volcanic rocks suggest the earth being knocked off its normal axis.Dodwell conjectured that this may have triggered the world wide flood 4500 years ago.
