Where Did The Moon Come From?

"Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:7

"In recent decades the scientific consensus has been that the moon formed billions of years ago from debris cast off when a Mars-sized object dealt Earth a glancing blow. But a radical new theory holds that some long-ago giant collision actually disintegrated Earth, causing it to balloon out into a vast doughnut-shaped cloud of vaporized rock, which the scientists who developed the theory dubbed a "synestia." They say the moon subsequently formed within this cosmic maelstrom."

Later in the same article:

"Dr. Andreas Pack, an isotope geochemist at the University of Göttingen in Germany, who, like Warren, was not involved in the new research. "It's a very complicated model, and the more complicated a model is, the easier it is to tune the model so that it explains everything," Pack said."

Again... Dr. Pack's quote about the new theory:

"It's a very complicated model, and the more complicated a model is, the easier it is to tune the model so that it explains everything,"


The new study was published Feb. 28 in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Planets.
