"The best explanation I've heard from creationists is that when God created the universe he intentionally aged it to make it look older than it is."

You'll provide us with a link to who said that of course... Na I didn't think so.

But maybe you'll explain why the moon only has deep craters on it facing earth that could only have been created by objects originating from earth. Of course there are other interesting moon facts that make evolutionists stutter and stammer in search of some real science to explain these things, wheras science can easily explain them from a creationist point of view.

I’m not quite sure what that sentence was supposed to say, but, there are deep craters all over the moon.

As to the ones facing us, I gather that a bullet hole suddenly appearing in a wall behind you wouldn’t cause you to think that you’d dodged a bullet, but would cause you to think that you’d fired a bullet?

Enjoy your buck (skunk?) hunt, but I’d strongly recommend you avoid combat...

Its an argument that has been made to me on blogs when I brought up the stars that are millions of light years away. Google creationism and light trails, I'm not going to do the work for you. And by "best explanation", I didn't mean "most plausible" or "most convincing"; I meant most entertaining.

But maybe you'll explain why the moon only has deep craters on it facing earth that could only have been created by objects originating from earth.

Here's a scale picture of how far the moon is from the Earth; it points out the ridiculousness of your argument.

As you can see, there's plenty of room for extraterrestrial objects to collide with the moon.

Actually, the moon has far more craters on the far side, where it's not protected by the earth from meteoric impacts. The near side has impacts mostly at the poles, where objects came in from outside the moon's orbital plane.

And by the way, the moon is moving away from the earth over time. Astronomers have traced the movement back in time, backtracking the rate of its expanding orbit, and found that the moon probably was split off from the earth by a huge impact... several billion years ago.
