Episode Description
In this episode of Creation Talk, host Matt Campbell sits down with Dr. Mark Harwood, a former aerospace engineer with over 30 years of experience in spacecraft and communications systems, to explore one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries: the origin and uniqueness of Earth’s Moon.
Despite decades of research and multiple competing theories, there is still no self-consistent naturalistic explanation for how the Moon formed. From tidal locking and the “man in the moon,” to massive impact craters, lunar maria, eclipses, tides, and the Moon’s unusual size and orbit, this conversation unpacks why standard secular models continue to fall short.
