Quoted: Seems like the odds of it are extremely low. Either we exist in a simulation or it was placed there by some unknown entity or entities. Yes. By God’s own hand. It’s too perfect to be an accident. There’s a strong argument that life would not exist if not for the perfect placement of the moon. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok, for one, did it not occur to the people who did this documentary that celestial objects, especially ones with nearly no atmosphere, are struck by other objects, like meteors, constantly? That this could easily explain material that is found on said moon, dating differently than native material? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: There is currently no limit. Thanks for using the question format Thank you. The composition of moon rocks is such that it eliminates any possibility of being a foreign object place there by a random impact. And, why all impacts on the dark side and almost none on the near side? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Well, I was going to continue on attempting to make funny yet more absurd comments than the OP, but I see you have set the bar far to high for me to compete.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Interestingly enough I just watched recently a 'documentary' titled 'Alien Moon', where the premise is that the moon is not a natural satellite and is in fact hollow. I am told it is in a perfectly circular orbit, not typical, and when moves over the sun in the perfect size and distance to create a total eclipse. The earth facing side is smooth and glassy, distinguishing it's character from the back side, for the most part, indicating this was the front, leading edge as it travelled from its distant origin into earth orbit. Also the moon's appearance coincided biblically with Noah's flood, prior to which the earth had never experienced rain. This latter part I confirmed with a biblical scholar. (Prior to that the earth was shrouded in a cloak of water vapor). Moonquakes - Finally it has been reported numerous times, including by those astronauts who've been there, while they've been there that the moon vibrates for a time after a seismic event and once was reported to 'ring like a bell'. The aftershocks of a quake far exceed, in duration, what would be normal for a solid sphere. Did it originate as a part of the earth? Moonrocks have been found that are much older than the oldest found on Earth, and older than the moondust upon which they are found, so not possible according to that,. Could this explain the origin of all the so-called UFO's? Do they originate from the moon's interior? Let me know if you have questions. My friend, you are hating the player when you should be hating the game. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: it seems like the moon was created when another protoplanet collided with the earth. it's slowly floating away which won't be good for life on earth The moon is moving away from the earth (increasing its orbit radius) at about 1 inch per year. The moon is critical to keeping the earth’s rotational axis approximately perpendicular to the plant’s orbit. Yes, the planet does wobble to some degree, but without the influence of the moon, the earth’s rotational axis would “flop over” on its side, and stay there for long periods. Imagine the South Pole being in full sunlight for thousands of years, and the other pole being in dark equally long. Goodbye life as we know it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Were all moons that orbit around all planets in the universe, also placed there by an unknown entity or just ours? There are an estimated 700 quintillion planets in the observable universe. Many planets have more than 1 moon. Seems like....kind of a common thing. Seriously, OP, I can't believe you would ask a question like that. |

Our moon is a special thing that makes the world what it is.
We seem to have captured it after a collision with another planetary body. Earth’s core seems to have 50% more iron and mass from that collision, giving us enough magnetosphere to protect life for a long time. Our tides and plate tectonics are because of the moon. Our orbital procession and wobble are slowed by it. So many good things are because of the moon. It’s a gift. |

It helps if you Trust the Science please. they are mainly thought to be different ages as the earth experience plate techtonic shifts and there is very little of our original crust still on the crust. also objects from the creation of our solar system continue to collide with the moon so you find those there too. I do actually think the moon was "placed there" in a way. It's hard to look at all of the science of what allows us to exist here and have this conversation and think that it all happened by chance. That doesn't mean we ignore what we have learned but maybe accept that it's all part of a plan. If life did start in a mud puddle getting struck by lightning whose to say some intelligent creator didn't make a supernova explode in just the right way to get a planet at the right distance with a moon to stabilize it and place the right compounds in the right pool of water at the right time for static electricty to build up between water vapor and the earths surface and then undergo the right environmental stressors to bring us to the human form. Like deific dominoes. |
