We will die long before the Earth.

Who’ll agree that eventually the earth will die out.
Will we be able to find a new home on another planet?
Or will we die with the earth?

Enter reply here.

Your choice) on the moon, were thrust into the Earth environment. Thus the beginning of life here. All started by Luna ticks.”[/quote]

Your correct, the moon did come from the earth, evidence shows that a houge asteroid hit earth about some several million years ago and a huge chunk of earth flew off and over time started to form and collect until they created the moon.

Actually that site doesn’t claim that earth’s axial tilt was caused by volcanic eruption. Obviously, you didn’t read the whole article. It get’s even better later on.
In fact I really enjoyed that article. It’s one of the best pieces of bad science I’ve ever encountered, and I’d love to read a detailed refutal of its claims. I can’t decide whether the author truly believes it or whether it is an elaborate prank. Regardless, I recommend reading it as an exercise in critical thinking ;-)

Yeah, I know … the “pie” people, e.g. I wasn’t here at the very beginning, but was that ever funny?

Jonas: you have been grievously misinformed—by the BroJon and Moon Movie websites, and other sources—about various basic notions in the physical sciences, as well as certain incidents in history. Your “Friendly Neighborhood High School/College”, as well as many reputable online sources, can help. Good luck!

Admonishment noted and accepted. It does seem to be a matter of thresholds….
