The Clockwork Moon Science Ignores
The moon is something that has always fascinated me. And specifically, what’s on the other side, the dark side? Well this article takes it even further with the design of the moon.
I don’t know where you stand, dear reader, on the subject of whether or not our world shows deliberate design, but I can tell you something you may not know, because science absolutely refuses to admit it – to the public and to itself: There is positive evidence of design, and not chance, going on out there.
This is not the most popular tack for a writer – even a scientist like myself – to take today. It’s true a steady 40% of the country feels comfortable telling pollsters they don’t believe in the evolution theory science insists upon, which pointedly denies any design in the natural world (and which, ironically, is partly based on the evidence of domestic breeding, which are the designs of man, of course). But when it involves strong argument, the country tends to split right down the middle, so I think only about half of the 40% who really believe in design in the natural world want to see it brought up again here. So I’m probably ticking off 80% of my readers, and I’ll just quote Phoebe Buffet (of *Friends*) and say brightly: “Okay… let’s do it!”
One of the most outstanding indications of a deliberate design actually lies a short way out in space, with our nearest neighbor, the Moon. The Moon is about 240,000 miles from the Earth on average. Its diameter is 2160 miles, and it subtends an angle of 0.527 degrees, on average, as seen from the Earth. That’s about the apparent size of a dime seen from 6 feet away.
