1.A Mars sized object smashed into early Earth(and is probably the core of the Earth)
2.Debrie flung up into orbit around Earth a ring like saturn's
3.The debrie clumped together to form the Moon
Other ideas:
1.the Moon was drifting and was caught by Earth's gravity
2.The Moon was created with the rest of the solar system and happened to be in Earth's orbit.

Sean has the right answer.. the moon formed due to an impact that Earth had with another planet, about the size of Mars.
