Huh?
I can't find a mention to the computers and laptops in the book of Don Quixote.

I don't know that the Christian Bible has any discussion about the nature of the moon.
There is Joshua chapter 10, in which Joshua commands the sun and moon to halt in the sky, for about a day, so the Israelite army can finish slaughtering some of their enemies. Of course, he must have meant to stop the earth from turning!
There are a lot of of physical problems with this story. If the earth really did stop suddenly, everything on the surface of the earth would have been flung eastward at about 1000 miles per hour. Even given a slow deceleration, it's been calculated that the braking energy might have boiled off the oceans.
But, believers will not find this ridiculous, since an omnipotent God could indeed suspend physics, and stop the entire planet from turning in order to satisfy the regional dominance of an obscure Middle Eastern tribe.

The primary statement made regarding the moon, stars, Sun etc. is that God Created them. The moon is mentioned in other parts of the Bible other than Genesis but is usually a reference or used as a comparison. To my knowledge there is nothing that disagrees with the science of it. God did not say how the moon was made...

I have little understanding of your question....... so.....
God created everything in the beginning. It might not have hap pended in 7 days like the book says, and some of the stories might be off kilter but, through many reasons i care not to get into now, its hard for me to believe that dust floating in space happened to be at one specific place at one specific time. So i think he created the earth and the moon.
Though i would like to talk about all the other planets in our solar system. Why did God feel the need to make those and other Galaxies for that matter. Also what about Dinosaurs? Not just missing links and all that but real ones. How were they created? Why did they die out?

The only thing I remember is when Joshua made the Sun and Moon stand still. The greatest miracle ever performed. That's sort of ridiculous but if there is an omnipotent god no problem.

Try reading the book of Genesis (the first book in the Bible) and it will tell you exactly what the moon is for. Plain and simple. Nothing fancy or ridiculous.

Moon has power. Thats why ppl talk about full moon. The word lunatics is derived from the word lunar (moon). I am not sure excatly what it says but moon is definitely a powerful source of energy.

in all honesty the bible doesn't say that much about the moon, I don't think it is that crazy if you are looking for something to discredit there are better things

It says it is a light greater than the stars. It really only reflects light.
