Working backwards from the moon/earth relationship, there is no way that the earth can be 4.5 billion years old.
Sorry, Pete. Not all inferences have to match up perfectly. This is how knowledge works.
If such speculative mathematics was the only evidence for the age of the earth then you could be on (fairly) firm ground in rejecting it. But geological evidence supports the the figure the mathematical model you have cited. This is not speculative mathematics but the result of real pick and shovel work.
I see that you are not to be persuaded by argument or evidence. I reject the biblical basis -either the Young Earth or that other one - upon which Creationists rely - for the obvious reason that it is metaphorical. It is a fine tale for cold evenings sitting round the fire, not science but literature.
