Who Built the Moon?
The Possibility of Intelligent Design
San Francisco, CA (10/1/05)…The Moon is certainly the most puzzling object in our corner of the universe. The many visits made by mankind to the Moon during the 20th Century did little to answer any of the pivotal questions regarding its origin or importance. Our closest neighbor in space is probably more of an enigma now than it has ever been. In Who Built the Moon (Watkins 2005), authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler have opened a discussion for new questions regarding the existence of the Moon. They suggest that there are more than enough anomalies about the Moon to come to the conclusion that it is not a naturally occurring body and was quite possibly engineered to sustain life on Earth.

The authors virtually tripped over the Moon while researching ancient measuring systems in their first book together, Civilization One (Watkins 2004). In this book, they recreated a way of measuring distance, mass, volume and time that flourished at least five thousand years ago. The basic unit of length, the megalithic yard, is incorporated into the vast majority of the Megalithic monuments in Britain and France. Their work in Civilization One proved to Knight and Butler that this very specific measurement of 82.966cm had been deliberately designed to fit neatly into the circumference of the Earth. They also discovered a series of mathematical ratios regarding the relationship of the Earth, Sun and Moon.

Knight and Butler then set out to discover everything they could about Earth’s Moon. The very latest scientific discoveries show that its existence has been pivotal to the development of life on Earth. The presence of the Moon stabilizes an otherwise very ‘wobbly’ Earth, keeping it upright and sitting at exactly the right angle to ensure an even warming of its surface as it glides around the Sun. What is more, the Moon is now thought to maintain plate tectonics, a crucial factor in the development of the Earth and a phenomenon that has allowed nutrients to be constantly released to the planet’s surface – another essential to life.
