The evolution of Earth-Moon system is described by the dark matter field fluid model with a non-Newtonian approach proposed in the Meeting of Division of Particle and Field 2004, American Physical Society. The current behavior of the Earth-Moon system agrees with this model very well and the general pattern of the evolution of the Moon-Earth system described by this model agrees with geological and fossil evidence. The closest distance of the Moon to Earth was about 259000 km at 4.5 billion years ago, which is far beyond the Roche’s limit. The result suggests that the tidal friction may not be the primary cause for the evolution of the Earth-Moon system. The average dark matter field fluid constant derived from Earth-Moon system data is 4.39 × 10-22 s-1m-1. This model predicts that the Mars’s rotation is also slowing with the angular acceleration rate about -4.38 × 10-22 rad s-2.
