This proves that clowns actually exists grin

I am 100% sure you don't live in that mud house located in zamfara, but rather another one in borno state.

But because your IP address says you do live In it, even though you're actually not physically in zamfara, you chose to believe it since you believe science is 100% authentic

I didn't even drop any fact to back my claim and you bought it. This is exactly what scientist like your father do all the time.

Claim humans evolved from this, claim the earth is one billion years old without any actual fact backing their trash.
Gullible clowns like would agree without asking for proof lmfao

Jokes on you mate. It doesn't take much to recognize whose been brainwashed by science here. Keep living in delusion wink

Is it the moon that causes night and day?

The moon is drifting away from us.

Each year, our moon moves distinctly, inexorably farther from Earth just a tiny bit, about an inch and a half, a nearly imperceptible change. There is no stopping this slow ebbing, no way to turn back the clock.

The forces of gravity are invisible and unshakable, and no matter what we do or how we feel about them, they will keep nudging the moon along. Over many millions of years, we’ll continue to grow apart.

The moon used to be closer. When it first formed, about 4.5 billion years ago, molded out of rocky debris that had been floating around Earth, the moon orbited 10 times nearer to the planet than it does today. The debris, scientists believe, had come from a collision between Earth and a mysterious Mars-sized object.



Fresh out of the cosmic oven, the moon was hot and molten, glowing red in the night sky. Back then, scientists say, the moon was moving away at a rate of about eight inches per year.

Our planet and its moon were always going to grow apart like this. The gravity of moons, small as they are in comparison, can still tug at their planets, causing the larger worlds to bulge outward a little bit. On an ocean-covered planet like ours, the effect shows up in the shifting tides. The moon pulls at our oceans, but those oceans pull back, making the moon speed up in its orbit. And “if you speed up while orbiting Earth, you are escaping Earth more successfully, so you orbit from a farther distance,” James O’Donoghue, a planetary scientist at JAXA, Japan’s space agency, explained.

Scientists refer to this phenomenon as “lunar retreat” a delightful term, as I’d prefer to imagine the moon enjoying itself at a relaxing getaway, bending its rocky body into various yoga poses, rather than slowly ghosting Earth.


The Bible confirms this statement: "Fresh out of the cosmic oven, the moon was hot and molten, glowing red in the night sky"
Bible confirmation: "The sun shall not smite thee by day nor the moon by night .."
Awesome God

Who cares for something that will happen in another 4.3 billion years? This oyinbo people nor get work o! They call am "nearly imperceptible change". The changes are not even perceving. So, why worry?

I don't get it, why are these kinda comments always seen when something like this is shared? Is it that people in Africa don't like knowledge? They didn't say you should panic. They merely shared what they learned. At least, we can now update our Geography lesson notes. That's how our know of the universe and its behavior grows, right?
