"Scientists have pinned down the birth date of the moon to within 100 million years of the birth of the solar system — the best timeline yet for the evolution of our planet's natural satellite.
This new discovery about the origin of the moon may help solve a mystery about why the moon and the Earth appear virtually identical in makeup, investigators added." read more

A couple of interesting hypothesis that make me somewhat question this collision notion. First of all, why didn't the moon develop like the earth? It was much closer to the earth than it is today and yet it is totally barren, has no atmosphere, has no plant life, has so far no organic compounds of any kind on it that we know of. Yet the earth developed in a totally different way than the moon did. The moon did nothing. It's exactly the same as it was 4.5 billion years ago plus the meteor/asteroid strikes on its face.
So why didn't the moon develop like the earth?
Not enough gravity to retain any out gassing which could then develop into an atmosphere.
That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Via an "unconscious coupling" the moon was made a slave of the earth.
I see the moon and the moon sees me,
God bless the moon, and God bless me.
