Who Built the Moon?

The authors ofCivilization Onereturn, bringing new evidence about the Moon that will shake up our world. Christopher Knight and Alan Butler realized that the ancient system of geometry they presented in their earlier, breakthrough study works as perfectly for the Moon as it does the Earth. On further investigation, they found a consistent sequence of beautiful integer numbers when looking at every major aspect of the Moon--no such pattern emerges for any other planet or moon in the solar system. In addition, Knight and Butler discovered that the Moon possesses few or no heavy metals and has no core-something that should not be possible. Their persuasive conclusion- if higher life only developed on Earth because the Moon is exactly what it is and where it is, it becomes unreasonable to cling to the idea that the Moon is a natural object. The only question that remains is, who built it?… (more)

Who Built the Moon? by Christopher Knight and Alan Butler I know, but I am a sucker for these kind of books, full of interesting facts with a half life measured in seconds, preposterous theories that really are believable as long as you suspend your disbelief.
 
And I guess that's it, that's what I like, that suspension of disbelief in the face of incredible odds.
 
For the life of me I really don't remember what this was about but I did enjoy it and I believed every word too. ( )

What an interesting book. I read this a couple of years ago and found it very eye opening. An alternative look at science. The Moon is a mysterious and enigmatic heavenly body. The ancients were as obsessed with the Moon equally as the Sun. Sometimes it is good for the mind to explore other theories of the Moon. Think outside of the box or, cube.

Who built the moon? How did it come to be?

Was it, as in the Bible, created by a deity?

Was it dragged here by some alien race?

Just left there floating, in outer space

Is it a remnant of another heavenly body? A boulder?

Is the Earth young? Is the Moon much older?

Does the Moon control the tides? Like they tell us so

The Oceans, the seas, their ebb and flow

Is the Moon a death star? Like in the movie flicks

Is the Moon an illusion? Is it playing tricks?

One side is dark, the other shines bright

Glowing in the night sky, emitting false light

Does the Moon make people crazy? Lunar, lunacy, madness

When the Moon is Blue, are we filled with sadness?

When the planets align, is this prophecy, like the Bible says

Or just a giant clock, ever lasting, always

Is the Moon a soul catcher? Like the dream works logo

Fishing for souls, recycling them, preventing them to go

Where souls are meant to be, their destiny, a place of no suffering and pain

Does the Moon send souls back to Earth? To live another life, and repeat all over again

So who built the Moon? How did it come to be?

Was it, as in the Bible, created by a deity?

Book description
This book was a total waste of my money. I am very open-minded about scientific arguments and ideas that do not fit the accepted view of cosmology but this book could only be regarded as fantasy. I like the concept of listing lunar anomalies and exploring possible explanations. I would gladly pay for a book dedicated to doing that. This book however fails to list the anomalies I know of purposes such laughable explanations for the ones it dose list that a total suspension of disbelief would be required to take it seriously. Perhaps even a chemically induced state of credulous simplicity would be helpful. If the publishers want this book to produce anything but derision they need to coat the pages with LSD.
