Quote:BTW I'm not saying that God specifically put the moon there, as you imply, all I said was that it's a possibility.I'm not trying to imply anything...I had actually hoped that my responses where fairly explicit. I think you used the word possible where it does not apply...and proposed something ridiculous as possible...and then attempted to support that ridiculous "possibility" with thin air.

I repeat. The moon's placement is just right for us in the here and now. In 4 billion years it will no longer stabilise our axis as it presently does, but we won't be here so it doesn't matter, does it?
I repeat. All I said was that it's possible. In my mind it's no more likely then if it did form naturally.
So it wasn't "just right for us" at some point in the past was it? Just right for us how? What does our axis have to do with us? How would our disappearance change any of these nagging little problems with the moon? More broadly, what happens to all of these little tuning arguments if/when we cease to exist?
