[quote:pepe3797:MV8yMTYzMTY4XzM2NTY2ODQwX0RDMEFCRTFE] [quote:strange fellow:MV8yMTYzMTY4XzM2NTY2MjcyXzE0QkUwOTI0] When the Earth was Moonless In historical times, the Earth was Moonless. What? Is nothing sacred? You’re telling us that the Moon -- that really big, bright orb periodically up in the sky -- is a newcomer to the environs of Earth? Surely, you jest. According to <http://www.varchive.org/itb/sansmoon.htm> and other sources, there are currently four (make that five) theories of the origin of the moon: 1) The Moon originated at the same time as the Earth, being formed substantially from the same material, aggregating and solidifying in orbit. [Boring!] 2) The Moon was formed not in the vicinity of the Earth, but in a different part of the solar system (or galaxy), and was later captured by the Earth. [Better.] 3) The Moon was originally a portion of the terrestrial crust and was torn out, after the formation of the Earth, leaving behind the bed of the Pacific Ocean. [Possibly, but the special effects would be tough to duplicate.] 4) The Moon is an artificial satellite, which was brought into the vicinity of Earth by extraterrestrials in order to carry out some unknown agenda. [Yes!] 5) The Moon is made of green cheese, and was placed in space as a NASA PR stunt. [Tell George. He just might believe it.] By the way, the name is not “Surely”. http://www.halexandria.org/dward200.htm Way less than 50% [/quote] options 3 and/or 4 are the most realistic :alien03: [/quote]

Summarize, or go into great detail.
I'd like you to share all you know about the moon... its origin, its purpose.
BTW, this is not a 'Did We Go to the Moon' thread...
however
, an example of something that would interest me is the theory that ancient China recorded going to the moon in what was found to be "accurate" detail when the USA visited.
Some think the moon is artificial... or that it was 'put there' to control the planet and/or mankind.
There are others who believe it was formed from debris as a result of a collision with earth.
So...
What are your thoughts and theories?
