  We have obtained empirical laws for the variation of the Earth parameters
with geologic time that are in agreement with coral fossil data obtained by
Wells and Runcorn. Our model predicts that the day is lengthening at a rate of
2 ms/century at the present time. The length of the day when the Earth was
formed is found to be 6 hours and the synodic month to be 56 days. The angular
momentum of the Earth-Moon system is found to be increasing with time. The
origin of the presently observed acceleration of the Moon is explained. It is
predicted that the Moon is approaching the Earth at a present rate of 1.5
cm/year and with an acceleration of 20.6 arc sec/cy^2. It is shown that the
Moon has never been close to the Earth in last 4.5 million years.
