Another troubling area is why our atmospheric oxygen content is only 20.95%, and in ancient times was as high as 35%. What happened?
The recent extraction by scientists, of ancient DNA from organisms entombed in amber much like in the science-fiction novel and movie, Jurassic Park is an example of why scientists are intensely interested in amber. Minute bubbles of ancient air trapped by successive flows of tree resin during the life of the tree are preserved in the amber. Analyses of the gases in these bubbles show that the earth s atmosphere, 67 million years ago, contained nearly 35 percent oxygen compared to present levels of 21 percent. Results are based upon more than 300 analyses by USGS scientists of Cretaceous, Tertiary, and recent-age amber from 16 world sites.* The oldest amber in this study is about 130 million years old.

It now appears that is more likely than not. I just found this article from the National Geographic site that states there is enough water in the interior of the moon to cover its complete surface by a meter.

Perhaps this is why the moon rang like a bell when something hits it. If it was hollow and the Moon was brought here and then the water it contained was emptied out onto the Earth perhaps that was the delivery system for the water.
"If we could take all the water which is locked up in the moon's interior, it would make a one-meter-deep [one-yard-deep] ocean covering its entire surface," said lead study author Francis McCubbin, a geologist with the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington D.C.

Interesting. I would like to see more on this. Do you have any other sources? I have found nothing as yet for this story. I hope to find some corroboration. Thanks for inputting this to the thread.
Islam is the only religion that prophesies that the sun will rise from the West, instead of from rising from the East, in the the End Times, before Day of Judgement. Both the Quran and the Hadith affirm that this phenomenon will take place. The occurrence of this phenomenon is considered in Islam as one of the major signs that indicate the Day of Judgement is close.
Yes, quite a riddle, unless you consider other possibilities, and jump outside the proverbial scientific box.
You see the conundrum? At a time physics should be asking for more matter into the core to account for the expansion, in fact it is losing matter out of the core, so riddle me that, what kind of chemical reaction could do that?
Why not have some fun on our never ending journey to the truth

Thanks, I just had fun with it, to see where my imagination could take me, science obviously has its practical value but imagination is the real frontier
