American Thinker: If you pick up a textbook on astronomy, chances are that the origin of the Moon is ascribed to impact on the Earth by a large object, about the size of Mars. That is also the currently accepted view among non-specialists.
But the impact hypothesis was never worked out or published completely. We simply don’t know if the hypothesis leads to the current Earth-Moon properties.
On the other hand, starting with the present Moon and working backward in time guarantees success. The only question is whether the initial conditions are reasonable. We find that they are and are publishing that fact. MORE HERE
God made the moon when he made all of the other planets, the earth was made after. End of story.
The moon being made after the earth makes no sense.
Silly Scientists…
Everyone knows it is made of cheese.
How did the moon end up the perfect size size and perfect distance from the earth to exactly block out the sun, not too big or too small, during a solar eclipse? Did God cinch the Van Allen belt down a notch?
Magnetic – Plus/negative. Not that hard,,,
Yeah, I heard the cheese thing also so I’m going to guess Wisconsin.
Ralph Kramden gave it to Alice in the divorce settlement….
THIS REMINDS ME OF THAT BIG BLACK MOON THAT OUR JUG-EARED LONG-LEGGED MACK DADDY SAW AT NIGHT WHEN MOOCHELLE PUT HER PAJAMAS ON!! READY FOR SOME LOVIN’!!!!!
If the moon and earth collided even billions of years ago they both would have retained scars being much less spherical than they are..
The Earth bent over
So in a sense you’re saying we’re being mooned. Who knew that God had such a sense of humor to moon the earth. It’s like a great big sign that proves that God created the heavens and the earth, the Sun to rule the day and the Moon to rule the night and also give us a great big assist with gravity as well.
I don’t want to see the size of the stork that brought the moon. Yeesh!
“The recession of the Moon from the Earth has also been measured precisely by laser reflection from mirrors on the Moon’s surface, mounted by astronaut and Moon-walker “Buzz” Aldrin.”
Well, now I know this is Fake News. Everyone knows Apollo 11 never landed on the moon; it was all created on a sound stage in California.
Obviously they haven’t watched the “ fifth element”

Mathematically, the relationship of the moon to the earth can be expressed as (x+a)^n=∑_(k=0)^n▒〖(n¦k) x^k a^(n-k) where “x,” “a,” and “n” represent the variables denoting relative spin velocity, and “k” is just something I pulled out of my ass to justify this big grant they gave me.
Don’t forget to carry the 2..
@ Wyatt ~ that’s easy for you to say …
It was placed there by deep space aliens in ancient times, as the original Interstellar Space Station, according to the members of the AAC, Ancient Aliens Club. It must be true, I saw it on tv, ‘just has to be’, in their words. They have various theories about how they built it, and placed it in earth orbit. Since the moon is said to be hallow I think it’s a balloon. The ancient aliens transported here in a box in their space ship. Then inflated it at the correct distance from earth.
It is possible, but not all that probable
All I know is if you drop an incredibly heavy item on the Moon, it will Ring like a bell.
Why Colonize Mars if you have the Moon right here, is the Moon all taken up ?
The moon is racist!
Why not ask Snopes ?
They know everything.

On the Moon, you can still hear the pussyhats scream.
“That’s no Moon”
There is no dark side of the Moon …
It’s a giant balloon!
How else cud it stay up there?
Geez – y’alls is so silly ……..
I’m pretty sure the moon was started in the fifties with carloads of teenagers pranking onlookers.
Wally Moon, former Dodger player and now deceased, was the daddy.
