do you really believe the moon is an artificial object?

as in man made?

how did you come to that conclusion? Who made it? for what purpose?

I came to that conclusion after reading it in a book, entitled Who Built the Moon. It's funny, i actually posted a picture of me reading the book, and some of you still think i'm making it up.

It was built by an alien organisation with a view to making the Earth suitable for intelligent life.

so how did the people who wrote the book come to the conclusion?

why is the moon important to intelligent life?

Essentially, the Moon is a mathematical message. Let me put it this way...

You're walking across a beach, and come across a perfectly spherical pebble. What do you think?

I'll give you a hint: If you're an intelligent man or lady, you assume that it must have been shaped by an intelligent hand. The Moon is like that. It's mathematical coincidences are so vast, it is unreasonable to assume anything other than that they were put there deliberately to alert us to the Moons origins.

I missed this earlier, but I'm glad I caught it now.

When I worked for a project that was tasked to create synthetic versions of naturally occurring minerals so we could control chemistry, one thing we always found when going from a molten state to a cooled control state was that the simplest methods ended with round and spheroid particles. Time and time again. Quick or slow. Water cooled, air cooled, free flowing or viscous.

So I ask, what the hell is your point about round or spherical naturally occuring objects? Also you state "Perfectly"...A) I doubt you measured B) I doubt anyone measured C) LOL Estimating D) Even the earth itself is not a true sphere do to the unique nature of its chemistry and the effect of gravity on it.

Also, keep shining you crazy diamond.

The moon isn't perfectly spherical, i could have picked any shape for the pebble to "perfectly" be. To make it simplier, lets say this hypothetical pebble is shaped like sonic the hedgehog. You would assume that it was carved somehow, right?

Just to clarify, i don't consider spheres to be magical.

But the moon isn't shaped like a video game character, it's shaped like a spheroid, which is a lowest energy form that occurs naturally hundreds of different ways when molten material becomes solid quickly, over time, or through various outside forces.

So again, with regards to the shape of the moon, what's your fucking point?

like isn't it funny to you that when the bible code guy plugs his numbers in and finds predictions for events that have already come to pass

he has a 100% hit rate!

but when he predicts the future you can count the hits on your fingers after countless misses

Druhim

yeah but the moon is shaped perfectly like something
he's not saying what, but the fact that it's perfectly shaped like something (but not a sphere) means it was manufactured! duh!

Yeah... the shape of the pebble isn't important. The pebble isn't a minature carving of the Moon or anything.

The point is, if you come across something with so many mathematical coincidences, you would rightfully assume it is "man" made.

the funny thing is that his future predictions are really banal and vague
like, there will be an earthquake in los angeles
I don't know precisely when but yeah, there'll be an earthquake

oh, and there'll be war in the middle east
again I'm not really sure exactly when but trust me dude, this bible code is tight

But..this hasn't happened. The only thing we are referring to is the moon, which is a sphere, which is to be expected.

Not to say I would assume that a sonic-shaped pebble was "man made" anyway.

So you're saying that the moon's shape is unlikely and imperfect. But because its perfection is also a total coincidence...that means aliens did it?

This is contradictory.

captaink

Depends on how exact you mean.

There are lots of spheroid rocks in the universe

Druhim

and yet he won't say what the moon's shape is, while apparently denying that it's a perfect sphere
yet insisting it's a perfect something which apparently proves it was manufactured
