It was incredibly clever. You are just mad because you didn’t think it through and left yourself open to a comeback.....

There’s no confusion except what you are trying to interject.
lol.

You have never one upped me in all the time you've tried. Your poor grasp of so many subjects (and increasingly I'm thinking English should be included in that list) is evident in pretty much every post you make - for example, please show where I called you names.

Let me preempt you to save time. "...makes you look silly" is not name calling. It is a statement of fact.

Oh I’d say there are about 20 or so denominations

lol!
Try again

List of Christian denominations - Wikipedia

, but only one theory of how we got the moon..... God created it......

That's not a "theory".

So he doesn’t really look all that silly, does he..... compared to one astronomy field with 7 different theories....... and that’s only counting the main ones.....

And the lying continues.

What did your bible say about bearing false witness again?
Maybe you people should start acting like you preach one of these days.

Google is your friend.
Seems to me the consensus is that the moon is the result of a planetary collision of earth with some other proto planet, very early on in shortly after the formation of the solar system.

Perhaps you are also including theories that have since been discarded?

Well one theory has to have more votes than the others.

It would be the utmost of coincidences if they all tied.

Then what's this from Scientific American?

A New Theory of How the Moon Formed

Your planetary collision theory may still be on top of the pile; but it is being challenged by something new.

I've always found that a professed Christian who believes the evolution theory over the Word of God to be highly confused in their faith.

I've always found that professed Christians who insert the man-made doctrine of creationism into the Word of God, are trying to substitute their new belief for faith in God.

Did you even read the article?
It talks about the moon being the result of.... a ginormous impact and the debries being trapped in orbit.

No. It's essentially the one theory I was talking about:
The moon being formed out of the debries of a ginormous planetary impact.

You have yet to point to any of the other supposed 6.

Thank-you. However, you have listed only six theories. Of these, the first three have been abandoned since the 1980s, and I think that the last three are variant forms of the catastrophic collision theory. However, I accept your general point that we still do not know in detail how the Moon was formed.

What was silly was your trying to imply more than 7 denominations is equivalent to 7 theories of moon formation. When in reality those multiple denominations all have the same theory on the moons creation....

I don't know of any Christian denomination that has a doctrine on the specifics about the way the Moon was created.

Don’t be mad cause you got one upped....

Instead of getting upset and trying to "one-up" people, you'd do better by getting some facts and trying to make a cogent argument about them.

Please, that theory is in so much trouble it’s not even funny anymore....

What Made the Moon? New Ideas Try to Rescue a Troubled Theory | Quanta Magazine

“The canonical giant impact hypothesis rests on assumptions that do not match the evidence.”

But that just goes along with their pseudoscience planet formation theories.
