Researchers have cast doubts over moons origin, challenging the widely held theory that a giant collision between Earth and a Mars-sized object gave birth to the moon 4.5 billion years ago.

"All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, Big Bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell [the bible] teaches us how to run all our public policy and everything in society." Rep. Paul Broun (R)
"I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!" -- Jerry Falwell
Anyway, the common theory is that a large object hit the Earth at an angle and sheered off a bunch of surface crust, which reformed into the moon.

In other news, Mars was seen in the green room, wildly gesticulating, singing, and slapping out high fives to strangers.
Mars probably had surface water once, but the outer core cooled, causing the planet to lose it's magnetic shield, so everything on the surface was blown away by solar wind.

When the sun dies, it will first become a red giant -- a cooler star, but so big it reaches out to Mars. Then it will collapse into a pure, and extremely hot, carbon ball about the size of the Earth. Basically, an Earth-sized diamond.
