The Earth's Moon is "Extremely Rare in the Universe"
"However God chose to create (aka speak into existence) our moon, we humans can be thankful that, like the moon, we are a unique and extremely rare creation in His universe."

They have found that moons like the Earth's—formed by a catastrophic collision—are "extremely rare in the Universe." In fact, as reported in the Astrophysical Journal, they claim that just 5-10% of planetary systems in the Universe have moons created by such collisions.
In the ever-changing world of scientific theory, scientists now say they believe that our Moon was created when an object as big as the planet Mars smacked into the Earth billions of years ago, thus creating the moon.
However God chose to create (aka speak into existence) our moon, we humans can be thankful that, like the moon, we are a unique and extremely rare creation in His universe.
