Mercury does not always present the same face to the sun as claimed, and instead switches the side that it presents to the sun every full rotation.  As to the Moon, the tidal forces on the Earth cannot account fully for its bulge or egg shape.  The cause of the bulge on the Moon to lock in its rotation remains a mystery to those who reject design.

3.  The Moon's surface lacks the abundant iron that permeates the Earth, thereby proving that the Moon did not come from the Earth.  This deficiency of iron on the Moon disproved the primary theory that the Moon must have originated by breaking off from the Earth.  There is no plausible non-creation theory of origin for the Moon at this time.
