If they watched “The Big Bang Theory” they’d know about the reflectors we placed on the moon under the Apollo program....it’s how we know the moon is inching away from the earth..
That's an amazing fact I learned long ago, verified by the Apollo program. That the Moon long ago was very close to the Earth, and has slowly moved farther away over millions of years. The most amazing fact is that it is exactly the right distance to eclipse the Sun while viewed from Earth, and the right distance to support human life on Earth. Coincidence? Nope, God's work.
