What evidence is there that the moon formed independantly from the Earth?

Question

I have learned that the reason there are not very many images available of the back side of the moon is because there is an unexplainable formation on the back side of the moon. It is conical in shape, that reminds of a rocket cone.

My suspicions tell me that Planet V (now the asteroid belt) broke apart sending some pieces into Mars, creating the Bulge. That spewed large chuncks of Mars Earthward. The "Meteor" that killed most dinos. In that impact, enough earth material re-intered space as super heated ball of liquid rock, most of which formed the sphere we see as the moon, with the remainder of the debris impacting the moon, creating the multi-cratered surface. Notice that all of the solid planets have no natural satelite other than the earth. Also look at the volcanoe arangement of Mars - not the result of natural planet based activities.

What theories on the Moon's origins do you have

Point of reference, the moons of mars are not natural to Mars.

As to the rest, it is good info to know, and not totally of my primise, even though I was further away than closer. Still there is bound to be more.

The planets adjust orbital structures over time. There may have been much involved that could reshape the orbital structures.

Answer 1

Not many images of the far side of the moon? How many do you need? I don't know of any formation of the back, and I can't see how this would effect our lunar photographic capabilities.

Are you suggesting that the planet broke up during the mesozoic and that the moon was formed then too? The moon is a colossal one quarter of Earth's diameter. That much material impacting the Earth and being sprayed back up to form the moon would have damn-near obliterated the Earth, and all life. Boiling away the oceans, destroying the crust, utter devastation. The meteor that created the Chicxulub crater was only a few mile wide, a pinhead compared to the moon. The asteroid belt would not display the distribution pattern observed if it had been formed so recently. Mostly likely it never formed properly due to Jupiter's immense gravity.

The planets and the asteroid belt are further apart than you can imagine, and the planets are rarely lined up. They were not 65 million years ago. The moon has been there since before life began, otherwise the rotation of the Earth would be so much faster (the tidal force slows it), with a ten hour day, the immense Coriolis effect creating permanent hurricane-force winds. There would be no trees until after the extinction of the dinosaurs, and the fossil evidence shows that this was patently not the case.

Mars has two natural satellites- Phobos and Deimos. Essentially asteroids, they are not spectacular. There is nothing to suggest that the volcanoes on Mars are the product of massive extraterrestrial bombardment. The lack of craters significant enough to cause what you are suggesting being one. You would expect most of the planet to be missing.


The most popular scientific idea for the creation of the moon is the Giant Impact Hypothesis, also known as the Big Splash. While the Earth was still forming and molten 4.6 billion years ago, a Mars-sized object known as Theia, sometimes Orpheus, formed from matter in the Earth's orbit that had not yet been accumulated. It eventually crashed into the Earth, finally adding its mass to our proto-planet, but he matter blown into orbit stayed there and eventually accreted into the moon. Since then it has been spiralling away from the Earth at a rate of 4 cm a year. The lack of recent meteorite impacts is testimony the the clearing of debris from the solar orbit- most has been absorbed by the planets by now or flung out into deep space.

Answer 2

The majority of scientists believe that our moon formed billions of years ago when a Mars-sized asteroid impacted Earth. The resulting debris formed a ring around Earth for some time, and then gradually accreted into what would become the moon.

There's a great artist's conception of what the impact must have looked like on this website ==>http://www.novacelestia.com/images/earth_impact_moon_space_art.html

Answer 3

I realize that you have already discounted the answer with a prejudged agnostic approach. "no bible accountsor anecdotes which have a natural explanation no supporting evidence. I'm looking for the actual proof we were told exists." It's kinda like I want the answer but I am going to already prejudge the evidence as invalid-Non created. Your own question is a logical fallacy. The christian faith maintains the theory of creative intelligence. That intelligence is also found in the make up of substance that holds things together even at the smallest level of neutrons and atoms. We can't see the maker or the intelligence behind the design but we know via laws of attraction and repulsion that there is an intelligence at work maintaining and creating everything in its perfect orbit, balance etc. Also the christian God is about life everlasting the fact that we are here having an intelligent conversation is evidence that we were created with a purpose to search things out and ask questions why to pass down our experiences from generation to generation. The culminaton of the human experience is at hand. Here we see evidence of a dis-connected, seperation from the evidence of God in other peoples lives.. "neither are quotes from the bible" this is the era of earths exploding human population where the great majority of men have denied the God of those who were up close and personal with him in the bible account. Evolution of the fittest is not gonna help man out from denigration of the earth, from over population. So while I understand that God created me, I also understand that within me was a propensity to doubt his handiwork and sin, thus the law of attraction - gravity being evidence of my mortal destruction, the one I hold to in a life off this planet is the one who walked on water and rose rose from the dead, and ascended off this cursed earth.

Answer 4

Well since your whole question starts with a flawed premise, that there are not many images of the lunar far side, we need not bother discussing the theory that follows.

The lunar far side has been photographed in detail since 1959, and we have very comprehensive photographic maps of the ENTIRE lunar surface. The reason there are comparatively few pictures of the far side is that anyone with a telescope and a half decent camera can take a picture of the near side, whereas a satellite or manned flight is needed for the far side.

Answer 5

maybe big bang theory. when the earth was created so was the moon
