I believe in creation and evolution, obviously changes have occured over time, but evolution does not explain how the moon got there

>>ut evolution does not explain how the moon got there<<

Nor should it. That is closer to geology. Chemistry doesn’t explain it either.

Because evolution isn't astronomy or geophysics.

Personally, I am more a believer in devolution. I think all the genetic information is there originally, and that some of it is lost lost or changed over time............

"... evolution does not explain how the moon got there."

We live not a hundred million but four thousand five hundred million years since the Earth was spun from dust and rock around the sun. The evidence comes not from our own planet, but from its satellite. The Moon flew off its parent after a giant impact. Because it stayed small, cold and undisturbed it gives a better picture of the past than its parent. A quick trip by the Apollo XI mission was enough to date it. The Earth’s turmoil makes it harder to trace its own origin. Its oldest rocks, found in Greenland and Western Australia, are just under four billion years old.
