| OUT OF THIS WORLD! Did you know that the moon is moving away from us? When astronauts went to the moon, they left mirrors on the surface so that laser light could be sent to the moon, bounce off the mirror, and return to the earth. We can measure the time this round trip takes so accurately that the exact distance to the moon can be measured within a fraction of an inch. The moon is moving away from us at about 2 inches/year (called lunar regression). This means the moon is getting farther away each year, and as we go back in time, the moon was closer to the earth. At this measured rate of recession, the moon would have been touching Earth less than 2 billion years ago. It is commonly taught by evolutionists that the moon exists because material spun off of the earth as it was forming about 4.5 billion years ago. Astronomer Edouard Roche long ago calculated that from Earth’s surface to 11,500 miles out, any object would be torn to pieces by Earth’s gravitational forces. Therefore, the belief that the moon came from material originating from the earth has enormous problems because it would have been torn to pieces. Also, if the moon were truly 4.5 billion years old, it would be much farther out in space than the distance we see today. God created the moon on Day 4 less than 10,000 years ago – which means it has only moved a mere ½ mile since creation. The simplest explanation is that the moon is not that old. The moon’s distance from Earth testifies that it is young. “The belief that the moon came from material originating from the earth has enormous problems”https://mailchi.mp/435ebacf7a37/not-of-this-world?e=8233d90bcd |

‘Sometimes when you are standing outside on a dark night, you may see a “shooting star.” But, is it really a star? NO! It is a random space rock speeding through our atmosphere, burning up with tremendous frictional heat, causing light to streak across the sky. If it is a large enough chunk of rock, it will not entirely burn up, but hit the earth and make an impact crater. How many impact craters are here on Earth? It is estimated that there are about 100. How many impact craters are on the moon? There are 5,185 moon craters that are more than 12 miles across, but if you count the craters less than one-half mile in diameter, it brings the total to about one million! Why are there more craters on the moon than on Earth?
Earth has an atmosphere that burns up space rocks; the moon does not. Without our atmosphere, rocks could be routinely plummeting through our homes at night. Fortunately, our atmosphere is almost 50 miles thick, and as space rocks encounter it, friction is produced, and rocks are disintegrated. Did our atmosphere develop by chance over millions of years? If so, we should find billions of meteorites buried within the rock layers of the earth. We do not. Our atmosphere was set up from the beginning to protect life on Earth. It did not happen by accident and chance; our atmosphere was created by God to protect us! So as you “wish upon a falling star,” thank the One who made it all possible.’ From an email sent by http://www.searchforthetruth.net/
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Now, of course that is from the Bible which many today do not recognize as any authority on almost anything. That’s why some say ‘…there is actually plenty of oxygen on the Moon. It just isn’t in a gaseous form. Instead it’s trapped inside regolith — the layer of rock and fine dust that covers the Moon’s surface. If we could extract oxygen from regolith, would it be enough to support human life on the Moon?’ https://theconversation.com/the-moons-top-layer-alone-has-enough-oxygen-to-sustain-8-billion-people-for-100-000-years-170013 Oh, there’s plenty of oxygen on the moon BUT! One wonders why the oxygen isn’t there available for humans to live there as they do on earth? Is it because the earth was FORMED to be INHABITED by God the Creator?
See, many seek to bypass the fact that the earth was made for man to inhabit. We have what we need here, including OXYGEN! It’s as Paul wrote in Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
