It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven.
Psalm 89:37
"Some have argued that the moon must have formed elsewhere and, as it flew through the galaxy, it just happened to pass close enough to the earth to be captured by its gravity.
If this were so, then we would expect the moon to follow an elongated orbit around the earth, similar to that of Halley’s comet around the sun.
The moon’s orbit, however, is essentially circular; hence the ‘capture theory’ fails."
