aliens crashed on earth before man, then mated with the most smart creature they could find so that they would become intelligent enough to be slaves to create they're craft so that they could leave earth, using sound (zero point energy ) they lifted as much of the earth as they could into the sky, they did get far , but there sound machines popped from pressure and they could go no further then after thousands of years they are still on the moon and the earth, think about the sound resinating sites in Egypt and all around the world that could not have been constructed by the early humans in the stone age, do more research to confirm your self, i still have much to learn

The moon came from the Creator Goddess. Funny question!
-
I'm many ancient record claimed the moon was brought here within 20,000 50,000 years ago depicted by ancient humans / Cavemen across the world...

My problem is that the earth is only about 6,000 years old, not eons, and God made heaven, earth and the moon, and if a large chunk of earth was ejected into space how the the big gaping gash that would have been cause by a large part of it ejecting into space, not exist on the earth today (or did it fill with water? LOL!). There would be a big chunk of earth missing, given the size of the moon.

Theia was mostly frozen WATER!

the rock of the moon looks like chocolate cake .O.

Is it me or Reid looks like a guy who beats up nerds ? haha

Moon:"Um...Earth?*
Earth:"Yes Luna."
Moon:"Where do moons come from?"
Earth:°∆°............. jump though window
Moon: ;n; WHY -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! A massive mars sized object had a catastrophic collision with earth and that's why the moon is a perfect spear.. makes sense¿?

Not trying to be a dick here but what evidence supports this theory 0:38? By and of the nature of the "Theia impact" the surface of Earth would have liquified again, erasing all, geological anyways, evidence of the impact on our planet.
The asteroid belt perhaps? Then why doesn't the Earth fly through the asteroid belt? Wouldn't that be necessary if the belt were the remains of Theia? Or is it suggesting that the Earth used to orbit beyond Mars? As current "science" tells us the planets have been exactly where they are now "forever". So that can't be it.
The problem is these days people teach science as "where the answers are", not "where the answers might be". To me science is the "best answer we can come up with today", not " the only answer". But it's funny to see "science" people hate on religious peoples for believing in things that "no evidence supports", when most of science is just that. -

Wait , I thought it was public knowledge that the moon landing was a hoax. I am confused.
-
Bull shit !!!
-
What would happen if 2 gas planets collided? Would it be similar to if rocky planets collided with a huge catastrophe or would they phase through each other and slowly merge together?
-
answer remains unanswered
-
if something had actually collided with the earth , there would have been no earth at all because an impact in order to create the would have to been a massive comet at the earth would have been pulverized not split in to two
-
If Theia had a contact with the Earth, where is the impact crater??? Shouldn't we have 100 of km deep oceans?
-
Wait, I don't understand. If the collision theory states that Theia smashed into earth and bits of both were ejected out to form the moon, doesn't that mean that bits of both would also have come together to contribute to the earth's crust/mantle? Why wouldn't the moon and the earth's crust seem identical?
-
So, how'd it get there? How'd the moon get there?
