Here's a bit more about theories of Earth/Moon formation:

In the early universe there are all the building blocks for life and in the later universe life is made up of those blocks and evolves by natural selection. So there must have been a transition from one to the other. Why invoke supernatural or mystical forces to to explain the occurrence when natural physical forces are sufficient.-If I may step in. Where did the 20 essential amino acids for life come from? Only 8 have been identified in meeteorites, and the original inorganic Earth did not supply them. How about chirality? You have no answer, I'm sure, as no one does. Stating 'natural physical forces are suffient' shows only some sort of faith on your part that naturalism can do it.Your statement is a bald faced wishful conjecture. Further, natural selection can only work after life appears. Your reasoning is Dawkins-oid. He makes the same mistake in his writings. In the past you have shown better reasoning than this exhibit of yours. 60 years of research and we have no idea as to how your 'transition' occurred.-The moon is similar to the Earth in composition; your website is conjecture piled on conjecture. All these theories are interesting, but we all must remain skeptical. We don't have a proven answer about the moon, only interesting theories.
