I have yet to hear a logically coherent explanation for the creation of the universe, other than what I read in Genesis.

In church today we sang a song that had the lyrics “He made good things out of dust.”

After the local school shooting (Seattle Pacific University) and seeing the kids faith-filled response; widely covered in the media across the world I thought of them while singing it.

And again think of those lyrics when reading this thread.

I have no problem thinking that for some reason it was beneficial for the earth to be the way it was before it was struck and the moon created. And obviously it is beneficial to have the moon. Life would probably not be here if the moon wasn't the proper size and distance from the earth. (Plus - we get really cool solar eclipses - which of course means the sun is the perfect size and distance too!)
