No, but that was the theory held by the director of the Harvard Observatory back in the early 1900's. About the same time that Henrietta Leavitt, who wasn't allowed to be an astronomer because she was a woman and was put to work filing photographic plates from the observatory, was figuring out how to classify stars according to their composition.
The dark patches are old lava flows created when large asteriods hit the Moon early in it's formation, when it still had lava under the surface.

Noooooo. There is no life on the moon. I don't know where you heard this from, but it's wrong. The dark patches are caused by valleys and craters on the moon. The neighboring high points in the geography create shadows because they block the sun from getting to the low points.

No ... the dark areas are patches of smooth rock. The rougher rocky areas look lighter.
There is no life on the moon ... no air, no water, no insects, no green women in stainless steel bikinis.

Actually, no they are not. Whoever told you that doesn't have any scientific knowledge about the matter. The patches are caused by the craters, mountains, etc.

No. It's just enormous squadrons of F-16 fighter jets, up there to preserve freedom, on the moon.

Thats a new one.
The dark areas of the moon are part of the moon's landscape, craters, mountains etc.

I'm guessing you're very young, and have been told this by a friend. You said "No they're not", but your friend argued so well, with just a faint smile on their face, that you had to ask.
The answer is no.
