>the moon just so happens to rotate at the exact right speed in relation to its orbit so that it always has the same side facing the earth
>it also just so happens to be the exact right distance to be able to do solar eclipses and maintain the ocean tides
People actually believe this shit?

what is it then?

An artificial satellite of some kind. It was definitely placed in a specific spot on purpose. Something capable of purposefully placing the moon in orbit in such a precise way would clearly be intelligent and powerful enough to design our whole planet as well. It's all artificial.

what about the other moons in the solar system?

Probably just space trash that got caught in gravitational fields of planets. The fact that our moon is so different from the rest of them is exactly what makes it suspicious.

This is a bad argument. Many bodies become tidally locked and the eclipse thing is really just a rough estimate.

The real proof is staring you right in the face though. You should be able to calculate the moon's mass and size. When you do this you will see the moon is about half as dense as earth. The moon is hollow.

Based on what?

Exactly. People that got brainwashed from the previous generation and don't have proper critical thinking wind up believing in adult fantasy.

brainlet take. there was a catastrophic collision with it millions of years ago and you just see the aftermath (it may even be part of the earth itself after another collision).

this is common knowledge/theory in universities by the way.

no you moron. i only said it's not something I just made on the spot.

it's very common for catastrophic collisions to eventually stabilize.

>> No.15302640

Stabilizing into orbit doesn't mean it'll just so happen to stabilize at the distance needed for ocean tides or solar eclipses and it sure as shit doesn't mean magically matching its rotational speed so that it always has the same side facing the planet.

>> No.15302658

>>15302640
what the fuck. it wasn't stable at the start. the earth itself stabilized after a very wobbly action for millions of years.

Moon rotating at the same speed it revolves is easily explainable if the moon and earth formed from the same bunch of material (which they did). Think about the continent of Australia with reference to the rest of the earth: it rotates at the same speed as it revolves (i.e. around the Earth's core). If you blasted Australia into orbit, it would probably stay like that unless something came by to spin it differently. Tidal locking is extremely common in the universe.

As for the other claims, we probably only exist in the first place because of the moon being how it is. The moon's magnetic field protected the Earth's atmosphere from solar wind which enabled life to begin. Saying "what are the chances that the moon is so sized" is like saying "what are the chances that the human eye is able to see the light from the sun"
