There are innumerable ways in which our single giant moon does indeed effect life on Earth. Without it, we would not be here.
We don't want the Chinese beating us to the punch
Would it not be rather ironic & a good joke at the atheists' expense, if, when we make contact & encounter interstellar-intergalactic Civilization, that they'r Christian?

Some background on the Chinese target landing region, one of the most interesting scientific AND resource-utilization regions on the moon, as US scientists realized years ago ==

And no, I'm not crazy or schitzo. Just very curious, investigative and rationally and scientifically minded
If you are indeed scientifically minded you would know how the moon is formed and i'll put it in one simple sentence.
Late heavy bombardment, heavy collision, gravity, moon.
May I ask why did you link an article to universal topology which has nothing to do with the moon?

Luna - A Perfect Reflection
Hi ATS,
With the Chinese Moon landing of Yutu 2 on the dark side of the moon, it got me to thinking about precisely what they are there to research aside from the normal stuff, and whether there may be an effort underway to determine the mysterious and enigmatic INTERIOR of the moon, unto it's very CORE
Scientists from many nations, including China, have been researching the interior of the moon for decades, and its broad structure is well known as a result. The previous Chinese landing detected up to 9 distinct geological layers beneath it. They are hoping to find some of the material from the mantle below the crust, suggested to be likely to be on the surface thanks to the massive impact that created the South Aitken Basin. Researching the interior structure of the moon is the normal stuff to be doing.

Since several of our planets have moons I'd say that moons in general are not only naturally occurring but common as well.

Cool so what's the core made of?
As with any theory, it can be replaced if another theory that is even better comes along. This has happened many times with so many things in the past.
In fact: our solar system seems to be the black sheep out of the over 3,000 exoplanet systems we have observed.
The problem with all that is: That's a sample of only ONE. We have NO other samples to look at right now outside of our own solar system.

No, no, you're just acting a fool. TheCakeIsALie says if you're scientifically minded then you automatically know how the moon was formed. Late heavy bombardment. End of discussion. That's how you do science.

And there are those that make convenient sums out of very rounded up numbers and who mistake coincidence for miracles.
Accurate to 99.9% is not the same as accurate.
