do you think it was created that way, or did it happen before humans were here? this has always puzzled me.

who cares what creationists think.
They hardly think anyways.

Actually this is a rather interesting question. Ive considered this question myself in the past. If you know anything at all about our tiny little solar system, you'll note that all of the moons, and planets have had some crater impacts at some point in time, and also the majority of the craters are predominately on one side of said bodies. I find it very interesting that this is the way it is because i know that God created a perfect universe, although our knowledge of that universe is so vastly limited, we do know that a cataclysmic event happened about 5000 years ago, namely the flood. Even most honest evolutionists will grant me that much, at least about there being a massive deluge at some point in time on earth. My personal theory is that there was some massive explosion perhaps of another planet or moon or something large that happened in the Milky Way for the specific purpose of rocking this world and creating in part
( there was the rain too) the flood that we read about in Genesis. Thus from this explosion the moons and planets were bombarded with a massive shower of meteors and debris. It may not hold water (no pun intended) but that's my own personal theory.

The moon got its creators from multiple impacts from meteorites and astroids, just as the Earth did. As far as time and the number is concerned, I am a creationist that believes the big bang could have happened, not by accident, but by God causing it. I also believe the scripture "A day is liken unto a thousand years to God." For us to use the standard 24 hours to a day for God would be stupid, when other planets have days that are a different length of time because of their rotation. Therefore, it could have been 6 "days" that lasted 100's of years in which God made the Earth, giving the moon pleanty of time to have accumulated creators.

This creationist believes the moon got its craters during its first few billion years of its formation! The Solar System was still in its infancy and there were many bolides, asteroid and meteors floating around in the space between the developing planets and their moons! The socalled 'seas' or marias on the face of the moon were caused by surface flows of lava from erupting volcanoes and bolide impactors on the moon.

this is my theory, we had a cataclysmic flood about 4400 years ago which even evolutionists will admit, this flood was predicted and put in place by God, when it happened there were a few things that happened first the canopy of water above the earth talked about in Genesis, Psalms, and a number of other places fell down the reason I think it did is because of a meteor, or a shower of meteors hit the earth and happened to hit the moon on the way, second the fountains of the deep broke open, and third there was rain.

I believe God created the world, but that doesn't mean I don't believe he used science in many cases. Evolution of the human species from pond scum is debatable and has a lot of holes in it, but the craters were obviously created by meteorites. Why wouldn't they be?

the bible talks about a great cosmic war that God and Satan had, it describes very well the destruction that took place and obviously this had to also affect the moon wich is so close to earth.
in case you didnt know this great war took place long time before adam and eve were created in the eden. what i am saying is that there was a "world" very different from the one we know today before men were created. and then came the destruction, and God had to start all over again and thats where the book of genesis starts from.

I think most of the craters happened at the start of the flood.
Before men first went to the moon, scientist thought that there would be hundreds of feet of dust caused by the suns unfiltered rays eroding the rocks, but instead they only found several inches, indicating that the moon is only a few thousand years old.

astronomers have yet to figure out where the moon comes from. some people see it as refuse from a collision, some see it as what remains of Phaeton, some as a captured body.
Who knows? That is why it is so important we go back to the moon. There is so much to learn there.

Impacts from meteors over millions of years, and yes I am a creationist. I'll bet you think I'm confused but I'm not.
Edit: How did I bad mouth you?

Here's another one:
Where did the asteroid belt come from?
Could the two be related somehow?
There is so much we don't know...and yet some people claim to "know" that there is no God.
How incredibly arrogant of them!
