The Moon orbits the Earth.  While the Moon is entirely made of cheese, the Earth only contains small fragments of cheese, which are thought to have been knocked free from the Moon when a very heavy cow tried to jump over it, missed, and crashed, sending cheddar debris hurdling toward the Earth.  Perhaps [http://www.blogofthegods.com God will elucidate] His reasons for this some day.

Unlike most planets, Earth has only one moon and it has several striking characteristics that only be described as artistic in design:   
    
1.  Throughout man's existence, the Moon has had the same size as the Sun when viewed from Earth.  This creates a beautiful symmetry and permits phenomenal eclipses to occur.  The odds of that symmetry occurring by chance are too small to be considered possible.  That symmetry will not last forever.

4.  The Moon is currently receding from the Earth at less than 6 inches per year. The Moon could never have been closer than about 150,000 miles or it would have been broken up by tidal forces. If the rate of recession is assumed to have averaged about 6 inches per year, the Moon's present distance of about 250,000 miles implies a young age for the Moon of no more than one billion years.  Under the non-creationist claim that the Moon somehow broke away from the Earth, the Moon's rate of recession must have been faster in the past, and thus the Moon would have been only 150,000 miles from the Earth far more recently than one billion years ago. This contradicts the claim of non-creationists that the Moon and Earth are somehow several billions of years old.
