LOL...
The Moon is really a full-fledged planet in its own right...

Red shifts are probably illusions much like mirages here on Earth. It
follows from this that the Universe may not be expanding, so there is
no need to invoke a mysterious "dark energy" that fuels an
accelerating expansion of the Universe. Challenge the existing
paradigm!
The evidence for the Big Bang can also point to a catastrophic event
that happened 13.75 billion years ago, and not necessarily the
beginning of our Universe.
"Dark matter" may actually be spacetime itself.
Space appears to be comprised of a great energy that I refer to as
"gravitational energy". This energy flows into and through matter to
achieve both the constant renewal of nuclear forces and the "effect"
that astronomers refer to as gravity.
Science-related, but not astronomy-related subjects:
Both theists and athiests have no scientific evidence to support
either their positions or their claims. Therefore they are both like
sheep, blind sheep. Neither one can squash the claims of the other,
because both the theist position and the atheist position is built
upon a foundation of sand. Both positions require the acceptance of
either a belief or a non-belief based upon nothing more than "faith",
faith and faith alone. No one can truthfully say whether or not a
deity exists. So both theists and atheists are guilty of lying to
themselves and to everyone with whom they come into contact.
Agnostics are little better than theists or atheists, for they, too,
take up a position of either belief or non-belief. Agnostics are the
smarter of the sheep and are a little less blind. But they're still
sheep who base their positions on faith and faith alone.
I have often been involved in discussions, many times in "heated"
talks, on this newsgroup about the above subjects. It's all in the
archives. And I expound on some of the astronomy subjects on my
website, which is linked below in my sig.
And please don't bother to respond with one of your stale, dry as dust
pieces of crap like, "Have you busted another aneurism?" You do
sometimes grow very tiresome yourself, Dr. Campbell.
