We have had this discussion before. See my posts in the biologos thread ‘Can the age of the earth be a litmus test for what counts as science?’ , and you will find the answer to your question on the linearity of the scaling factor, as well as many more empirical facts that contradict the claim that the earth is 4,543 billion years old.

Please accept the mathematical fact that changing a system in its parameters cannot produce change in its dimensions: (a1, b1) → (a2, b2) cannot produce (a1, b1) → (a2, b2, c2) . Even if 1000 billions of years would be available, first order change (for instance the variation of the beaks of Darwin finches), cannot be extrapolated to second order change (for instance the transformation of a land animal into a whale).
