The super moon is a phenomenon in which the Moon is closest to the Earth during the full moon. It may then look 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than when it is furthest from us.
Today, the distance to the moon is 356,509 kilometeres or 223,000 miles.
The moon is actually always a supermoon. It tells us about creation and the uniqueness of the Earth.
Naturalistic theories cannot explain the birth of the Moon. One theory after another has seen more than the light of the super moon, but it has always had to be rejected.
In September 2016, Nature published a study comparing the potassium-41 and potassium-39 isotopes of the Earth’s rocks and moonstones, finding that the prevailing theory of lunar birth is problematic.
Life requires more than water. For example, without the Moon, we would hardly have tides - and no life.
The life of the Earth depends not only on the distance from the Sun, but also on many other factors, such as a suitably sized moon that is suitably far away from the Earth so that the tides feed the life of the sea - and thus the earth.
Without the moon, marine life would die, and soon the rest of our planet’s life would also die, because here under the sun, few things are completely detached from the rest.
Recently, naturalistic moon theories also received a different kind of blow when it became clear that the surface of the Moon may be 100 times younger than previously thought.
Genesis is still very topical.
