I've often thought of the moon as an example of God's design. The moon is just large enough and moves just fast enough in the orbit circling the Earth to attract asteroid/meteorites that would otherwise hit the Earth. Almost like a sentry protecting the Earth.

But the moon is not so incredibly large or moving too fast to wreak havoc on Earth (like if Jupiter's moon Ganymede orbited the Earth).

It is also the exact size and distance from us to allow us to observe the sun’s corona during an eclipse. That’s either an amazing coincidence, or just another small indicator that there was intent there.

I read somewhere that the Moon’s craters were carefully measured during the Apollo program. Then years later it was surveyed again, and new craters were measured. Based upon the rate at which craters were forming on the Moon, our idea of how old the Moon was, should have changed from billions of years to thousands of years.

The Lunar landing module had giant snow shoe pads on each of the landing legs because the scientists thought the Moon, based upon how old they thought it was, would have feet of dust on it. But when we landed, the dust was only about half an inch deep. Once more showing us that our idea of how old the Moon was, was incorrect.

God will show us how old the Moon is one day.
