Who knows? Sounds more plausible than it being done by some ultimate-super-mega-wizard....

Nice thread NewAge. I like the squaring of the circle with the earth and the moon. Divine Geometry.

10,000 years ago? Yeah, so much more plausible than a super-intelligent Creative Agency with immaculate fine point control over space, time and matter from initial conditions ie: from a blueprint or design from conception to completion.

Your info is gibberish. There isn't a single scholarly article linked. You're using fantasy painting as a depiction of how the earth was billions of years ago, then making the claim that the moon was closer.

The Moon's current orbital distance, about thirty times the diameter of the Earth, causes it to appear almost the same size in the sky as the Sun, allowing it to cover the Sun nearly precisely in total solar eclipses. This matching of apparent visual size is a coincidence. The Moon's linear distance from the Earth is currently increasing at a rate of 3.82±0.07cm per year, but this rate is not constant.[8]
The Moon is thought to have formed nearly 4.5 billion years ago, not long after the Earth. Although there have been several hypotheses for its origin in the past, the current most widely accepted explanation is that the Moon formed from the debris left over after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body.

Many astronomical and navigational computations use it as a surface representing the Earth. While the sphere is a close approximation of the true figure of the Earth and satisfactory for many purposes, to the geodesists interested in the measurement of long distances on the scale of continents and oceans, a more exact figure is necessary. Closer approximations range from modelling the shape of the entire Earth as an oblate spheroid or an oblate ellipsoid, to the use of spherical harmonics or local approximations in terms of local reference ellipsoids.
