Liars, all they do is putting fear in the minds of people. God created everything beautiful

LUBBISH

scientist are people that use facts to prove a point, before they reached that conclusion it will be years of research by world leading astronomical scientists and institutions to make such a statement and the type of equipments they use to do such findings you can't even believe such things are possible,yes God may create all things but God didn't create hi tech gadgets we are opportuned to use in this generation,they are made by scientists.

Seun, create a simple IQ test, and anyone that does not pass minimum requirement should be disallowed from commenting on science related threads.

Laser ranging measurements of the change in the distance from the Earth to the Moon tell us that the Moon is moving away from the Earth at a rate of about 3.78 cm per year.
So go get all the apparatus need to perform this. You are welcome

haha I wish I could sit down and explain to you. Lol u lots need to go into astrology yourselfs. The moon is there night or day. Infact, the moon does not shine, it reflects off light from the sun.
The moon is just sand that used to be part of earth. Infact some planets don't have it while others have hundreds of it. With
Time(a very long time) more moons could even form from earth.)

3.78cm is very negligible. After all, we've been on earth on for millenias and we never die or go extint. It's nothing to worry about.

This means that you didn’t read the original post.

All these satanically inspired scientists deceiving themselves and other gullible fools. Instead of them to accept the reality of God's existence and his omnipotence over everything, they are there running around with stupid theories about things. The earth collided with a mysterious unknown object as big as mars and some of the debris from the collision somehow managed to gather together and create the moon which then somehow managed to get into perfect sync in the solar system with all the planets and celestial bodies with the earth rotating and revolving around it? This is the crap that these foolish "woke" people believe is sensible but believing that there is a higher power that simply set all these things in motion is a big NO? Look at the perfect symmetry of the solar system and the perfect unison in which all these different creatures and forces in the universe work and tell me how it's sensible to believe that all these things happened by accident.

Thanks bro for this write up. I don’t know why these woke people who parade some high sounding titles refused to believe in a Divine Creator who arranged all these celestial bodies in a person place but will be proving woke by claiming humans originate from something something and the universe from a Big Bang something! Is it not human that build house and other beautiful things we make use of? Ask them these questions and they go bunker

yes, they target mirror reflectors already placed on the moon, the light reflected is used to determine the distance of the moon at any point in time.

To understand fully how it works, you will need basic knowledge of principles of light waves in physics and basic astronomy knowledge which was thought in secondary school geography. Just that a lot of us didn’t take those classes seriously.

You can do it by yourself
this is nonsense , how do you measure the distance of an object 230 thousand miles away with laser? do you even think? no such thing exist. don't come here to make mouth or I will ask you to show proof of how the common man like you can measure the distance of the moon.

believing in a supreme creator does not mean that the things that this things do not work the way this scientists have cliamed.

It's just as stupid as when someone says cars move by burning petrol and you 'no evil scientists!! We all know that God created movement of cars' you your sense
Why can't it be that the supreme creator created an algorithm that this things follow ??

I just mentioned how but you didn’t bother checking up how laser ranging measurement works because you are illiterate.

this one is actually the most useless question.

How did you know the moon was 230 thousand kilometers from here, did you measure it.
