We wouldn't have been here.

How do you figure that?

If the moon weren't here, the only certain thing is that we wouldn't have tides. The oceans would be steady.

If evolution is true and we really came out of the ocean, we would have had a much harder time.

Discovery Channel did a documentary about what would the Earth be like were there no moon. Here's a blurb:

"What would life on earth be like without the moon? Well, chances are, there wouldn't be any life on earth without the moon. Life – if it had started at all – would still be in the earliest stages of evolution.

Scientists use the latest computer simulations to show how an ancient rogue planet – Orpheus – collided with the earth millions of years ago, producing a sizable chunk of debris that eventually became our moon. If that collision had never occurred, we would live in a very different place. Imagine a moon-less weather report – blizzards over the Sahara, flood waters swallowing the Pyramids, 90-degree temperatures in Antarctica. As the earth wobbles on its axis – unsecured by the moon's gravitational pull – the polar caps would grow and recede at frightening rates. And without the moon, our planet would spin much faster – meaning four-hour days and searing temperature

Imagine how dark the world would be at night without a moon...

One last effect worth noting is that the precession of the equinoxes, a 26,000 year process that shifts the earth's rotational axis in space and causes the stars that are overhead at night during a particular season to change gradually, is driven by the moon's gravity and would disappear if the moon were to disappear.

Overall I don't think a world without the moon would turn out any good for us.

^^That thing about the Earth wobbling without the moon is complete bullshit.

well, if u multiply the quantum physics in co-ordinance with the earth and the moons equaliteral sub division, then it would OBVIOUSLY disrupt the magnetic gravitational force.

if the moon werent here, then nothing would happen exept there would be no tides. the moons gravitational pull isnt enough to make any more affect that that. and i dodnt know hoe the hell anyone can think we wouldnt be here if the moon wasnt there.

Believe what you will. I highly doubt it.

The moon is what created our cycles.

explain please. what does it actually do apart from tides.

You can read what roxxor posted.

Though no one can be for sure what it would be like, I don't ask for it to happen.
