I think you have a word wrong in there ...
To accept all explosions as impacts from meteors most certainly would be the downfall of science and astronomy.
A clear open mind, willing to believe anything is possible, no matter how impropbable, is what is needed to be able to give science the ability to
grow and expand into new realms of understanding.
Believing everything we have proved is all there is to know would be detrimental to future science and hold us back mentally from understanding
further scientific discoveries in many fields.
You are truly wise when you realize how little you truly know.
You also must place the same burden of proof upon yourself as you place upon things you are skeptical of. If you do not see what impacted, you cannot
take a leap of faith to what is logical, for logic deals only with what you have known and proven, not all that is out there.
I will take that to the next level. You say there may be no proof of structures on the moon, well, there is no proof of there not being structures on
the moon. Since there is blurred areas, low resolution images (compared to Google Earth even), and a good chance none of us have been there
personally ... all this discussion is theory, even the so called debunkers and nay-sayers. That is the TRUTH.
If you have clear scans of the entire moon's surface in a resolution of I would give you ... 1 ft per pixel, and there is still no evidence of
anything ... then you have proved the surface is structure and machine free. If you cannot provide such images, then, it is all conjecture.
I will not be in support of the ignorance of disbelief because of improbability, nor believe people who have lied to me many times before ... and at
best, if they haven't directly lied, then they have been seriously mistaken many times on many issues.
I have said this somewhere before, but, prove to me whether I am a human typing, or an artificial intelligence, programmed to simulate common spelling
and grammar errors. Can you truly prove either way? I would have to say no. Does that make me not exist? No. I am here despite the fact you have
no proof, no pictures, no evidence. A picture could just as well be doctored, created anyway ... I could show you Brad Pitt, or I could create a
face as do some advertisers ... easily in the grasp of a sophisticated AI.
I am not trying to say there are furry blue elves living inside the moon. I can't say there isn't though

I can say with certainty, the moon
isn't made of cheese! (then again, I haven't been there

)
I just hope in my lifetime, we learn half as much as they did last century ... we might actually get somewhere. But we seemed to stall out in the
public eye in the 70s. Something is definitely not what it appears if you think about it with your logic. To the moon with the power of wrist
watches ... to L.E.O. with the power of supercomputers in the average home. It just doesn't add up, honestly.
