Interesting that no-one is mentioning the giant elephant in the you-know-where...
Being - Sitchin said that such a collision was described in the ancient texts.
Correct, or not, I find it interesting.
But according to the NatGeo article, it happened around 4.5 billion years ago. Who would have been around to describe the collision?

My point was, how do they know there was another planet. The name is incidental, but if it no longer exists, who gave it that name? Some of the planets were named by ancient civilizations. How would they know of a planet that never existed during their time here on Earth?

Where did Earth get it's name? Mars? Jupiter?
They don't know, that's why they call it a "hypothesis". A hypothesis is something you don't know, but you think might be a possibility, so you look for evidence to support it. The topic of this thread is that it looks like they found some of that evidence to support the hypothesis.

I thought the moon once part of earth theory was just that, a theory and not scientifically proven.
Was the moon once part of Earth?
Did Venus Give Earth the Moon? Wild New Theory on Lunar History
etc... There are to many theories out there. Just pointing out that.

Just because they found bits of earth mars and whateva planet on the moon; does not prove the moon was created from any of them, it could so easily have already been in place when the supposed collision happened and it got hit by the debris.

If the Moon is moving away from the Earth at 3.6 cm a year, times 1 billion, not billions
It would be a distant= 3600000000 Kilometers from earth
Hmmm
Maybe my figures are wrong
or
The theory, assumption is a little fluffy.

Your figures are wrong.
402,336 km = Distance between the Moon and Earth
22,500 km = Original Distance
379,836 = 402,336 km - 22,500
3.78 cm = distance the Moon moves / year
3780000000 cm = Distance after 1 Billion years
378,000 km

Thanks, wasnt to sure
So a billion years ago the earth and moon were touching, wait a second, I see countless problems with the ....
Ahh what does it matter
