...the thread title comes from this book:

...although I haven't actually read the book so I can't speak for or against it's underlying agenda, the basics of it are extremely interesting. It has been said that we owe our existence to the moon. Below is the link to an interview with Christopher Knight, one of the authors of the book who outlines a number of anomalies associated with the moon. They include:
* It [the moon] does not have a solid core like every other planetary object. It is either hollow or has a very low-density interior.
* its concentration of mass are located at a series of points just under its surface. Backed up by this source: http://exploration.grc.nasa.gov/education/rocket/moon.html
* It is exactly four hundred times smaller than the Sun but four hundred times closer to the Earth so that both the Sun and the Moon appear to be precisely the same size in the sky – which gives us the phenomenon we call a total eclipse. Whilst we take this for granted it has been called the biggest coincidence in the universe.
* The Moon mirrors the movement of the Sun in the sky by rising and setting at the same point on the horizon as the Sun does at opposite solstices. There is no logical reason why the Moon mimics the Sun in this way and it is only meaningful to a human standing on the Earth.
* Not only is the Moon an apparently impossible object, it has some unique benefits for us humans. It has been nothing less than an incubator for life. If the Moon was not exactly the size, mass and distance that it has been at each stage of the Earth’s evolution – there would be no intelligent life here. Scientists are agreed that we owe everything to the Moon. It acts as a stabiliser that holds our planet at just the right angle to produce the seasons and keep water liquid across most of the planet. Without our Moon the Earth would be as dead and solid as Venus.

Anyone have any thoughts?
Was the moon artificually constructed?
Was it made by man? ET's? Another higher intelligence?
Or is it just coincidence?
If so when do we start to questions coincidences? Do we question them? Or does the "random chance" god of atheistic science cover any and every coincidence we find regardless of how strange or unbelievable they might seem?
