If the evolutionary calander were true, then the earth would have be spinning so fast and violently that the planet would have torn apart.

That was before we switched to the Gregorian calendar. Now everything will be fine.

It is difficult to imagine anything spinning "violently".
In any event, at the present rate of one turn in 24 hours, the centrifugal force at the equator (the force that would try to tear the Earth apart) is a few ounces on a 250 lb person.
The gravity keeping the Earth apart, along with the polarity (weak chemical bonds) and strong chemical bonds that hold things together, would hold Earth together even if we were spinning a hundred times faster.
And we never did. Maximum speed was still a relatively slow 16 hours at the fastest after the Moon was created or captured. At that speed, the centrifugal force was still well below one pound for a 250 pound person.
(if that person had gone to the equator where the force is maximum, the person would still have weighed over 249 pounds -- no instant space flight for him).

Which evolutionary calendar are you referring to?
When the Earth first formed, it was spinning more quickly than today (about 16 hours in a day). The recession of the moon has slowed our rotation to its current rate of almost 24 hours.
Even at a day of 16 hours, its not enough speed to overcome the gravity and the atomic bonds holding the Earth together.

How could there possibly be a connection between the speed of the earth's rotation and the pace of biological evolution?
Go back to sleep.

wrong. you need to get a good geology class, then take a couple of physics classes.
the oceans are amazingly stablizing, and gravity has always worked

Your supposition is most illogical. you fail to understand all things involved. as do i and every other living being. nor will we ever.........GOD has designed that some things are forever to be
and remain mysterious !

If you mean that "last ten minutes" thing,
They said "IF the ages of the earth WERE a single day...."
DUH! ..........it's a metaphore, (not real).

it wouldn't, there is no gravity pulling us apart!!
