An interesting theory, but it seems it is all based around a religious belief. I know it's been said before, but it's hard to believe something as outlandish as this without some kind of evidence.

I suppose someone high up would know, it would be impossible not to having been there (which is another debate in itself). But going by the article, it's just another theory.

[Moonie2012]

From the article:

"The Moon is not only extremely odd in its construction; it also behaves in a way that is nothing less than miraculous. It is exactly four hundred times smaller than the Sun but four hundred times closer to the Earth so that both the Sun and the Moon appear to be precisely the same size in the sky ­ which gives us the phenomenon we call a total eclipse. Whilst we take this for granted it has been called the biggest coincidence in the universe.

Furthermore, the Moon mirrors the movement of the Sun in the sky by rising and setting at the same point on the horizon as the  Sun does at opposite solstices. For example, this means the Moon rises at midwinter at the same place the Sun does at midsummer. There is no logical reason why the Moon mimics the Sun in this way and it is only meaningful to a human standing on the Earth."

Is this correct?

What is said about how odd it is that despite obviously having been hit by different sized objects the depth of the resulting craters is always about the same?

[oldie]

Isaac Asimov stated, "It's too big to have been captured by the Earth. The chances of such a capture having been effected and the moon then having taken up a nearly circular orbit around our Earth, are too small to make such an eventuality credible."

[Paxus]

Very interesting - wonder how many other oddities our dear 'ol moon has?

So far we have:
1) Unlikely odds of it being at just the right distance and just the right size to create full perfect solar eclipses
2) Unlikelyhood of Earth 'capturing' it.
3) Oddly shallow meateor impact craters.

What else?

So all the moons around the millions,Billions of Planet`s throught the Universe are Space Ships?
Im ready for my Tang now!

Maybe they have no idea the moon is actually moving away from us, and that this Super Duper coincidence is nothing more than chance, and wont always be that way.

The size comparisons though mean squat in its "miraculous behavour". Not even sure why they mention that.
Im curious as to how else they say it Behaves/

Didn't the Indian's say they saw a network of tunnels under the surface?

[oldie]

I would pay attention to Isaac Asimov. He is more than likely the most knowledgeable person that ever lived.

Well, its not. I just explained that.

Its not unlikely. If our idea of the moon is correct, then it hitting earth, then floating around and being brought in its orbit isnt that odd.

I dont see how this is an issue. We know about the craters, and usually the depth with results from the size of the impact. Also, large impacts may have debris splash up and then fall back down creating smaller craters which are now quite shallow as well.
Also, lava could have filled a crater after impact.

So, were back to square one, with nothing too unlikely so far.

If you were wondering about any of that moonie, i hope it helps.
