Evidence of how our Moon formed... found?

[CapnAwesome]

"Researchers have found evidence of the world that crashed into the Earth billions of years ago to form the Moon.

Analysis of lunar rock brought back by Apollo astronauts shows traces of the "planet" called Theia.

The researchers claim that their discovery confirms the theory that the Moon was created by just such a cataclysmic collision.

The study has been published in the journal Science."

Its extraordinary to think that our planet and our natural satellite could have formed from such an event.

You'd think there be nothing but debris, another asteroid belt around the Sun.

Life can still emerge in the universe in the most improbable of places. ^^

Where is this planet called Theia, how could they know what they were comparing.

Where is it? It crashed into the earth in the early development of the solar system when things weren't so settled and lots of stuff was still floating around. Why do you care, since you young earth creationists think just about every branch of science is a fraud.
