This time some nonsense about Mars and impact craters from Charles Creager Jr.:

| Quote | | Given the evidence that the Earth received a significant number of impacts during the Flood (Spencer 1998), and that the size distribution of craters show that the Earth and Mars were hit by the same population of objects, it is likely that these events occurred at about the time of the Genesis Flood. Available data is consistent with such a bombardment, since most of the impacts on Earth would have been spread over the year of the Flood, with a smaller number afterward. |
I tried googling the author but found very little, other than the fact that he has a BSc in physics from Bob Jones University. Here's his website:

He appears to be implying that impact craters occurred at around the time of the supposed global flood on both the Earth and Mars. Is he saying that lunar impact craters were formed at that time as well ?
The one thing I learned in astronomy was that a heavily cratered surface was a very ancient one. Indeed, using crater density as a chronometer it is even possible to estimate the age of the surface.
