You just won't let it alone, will you.
Yes sirree! *The Giant Impact Hypothesis!
I. Velikovsky would be so proud!
Here is yet another possibility - the GCH:
In the Gentle Capture Hypothesis (GCH), the Moon formed in almost the
same orbit as the Earth. *The Earth was out front at first and
absorbed nearly all of the iron and other good stuff, while the
trailing Moon absorbed only the dregs.
The Earth's and Moon's Solar orbits were so close together that it
took a very long time for the Earth to finally come all the way back
around and catch up to the Moon. *When it did catch up, as it
approached the Moon, it gently captured (and was captured by) the
smaller orb. *The Moon then began a slow and steady scalloped orbit
with the Earth around the Sun...

At first, the Moon was a distance from Earth that was just a little
farther than the Roche limit, so it did not break up from tidal
pressures. *At that time the Earth and Moon rotated very fast - a day
on Earth back then was a bit less than 8 hours long. *Due to tidal
friction, both Earth's and Moon's spin slowed down. *As they slowed
their spin speeds, the Moon also got a little farther away from Earth
each year. *Later, the Moon's rotation speed slowed to a point where
it was synchronized, "tidal locked" with Earth. *After that, the Moon
always showed the same face toward the Earth.
Ever since the Earth's and Moon's gentle capture of each other, and
down to the present day, the Earth and Moon have exchanged places each
month in their orbits around the Sun. *Part of the month finds the
Moon closer to the Sun, and the other part of the month the Earth is
closer to the Sun. *As they slowly change their relative orbital
positions, at one point the Earth is out in front and leads the Moon
around the Sun. *Then about two weeks later, the Earth lags and the
Moon goes out in front.
The Earth-Moon orbital relationship - It's not your father's two-body
problem anymore.

Indelibly yours,

"Man invented language to satisfy his deep need to bitch and moan."
Your version of a very gradual and non-contact or soft capture method
seems doable, although it doesn't explain the how, where and when that
2500 km diameter crater was formed, nor the how and when our Arctic
ocean basin got formed, and not to mention the Antarctic continent
that seems as though rather antipode formed instead of a tectonic
forced process.
Your soft capture idea also doesn't uncover as to how that moon got
such an extremely thick and paramagnetic basalt crust, especially when
the average crust of Venus probably isn't worth half that of what
Earth has to work with, and our moon offers at least twice and even
three fold what average crust thickness is that of our planet.
How does an ocean mass of water that only gradually materialized over
a billion years, which offers only 1 g/cm3 density manage to cause 3+
g/cm3 of fused and extremely tough basalt to sink or morph and leaving
but less than a 5 km crust thickness from the always molten rock
below?
Not a soul in Usenet/newsgroups (including yourself) can stipulate
with any objective certainty as to when Earth got its latest seasonal
tilt, nor what triggered the sudden ice-age thaw as of 11,712 years
ago (as having been confirmed by multiple ice core samples taken from
around the world).
You and all others combined also can't seem to find any old cave art
depicting our enormous and extremely nighttime vibrant moon or even
that of seasons depicted as of prior to 11,712 years ago, and not that
extremely good examples of much older cave art with more than
sufficient resolution depicting a whole lot smaller details of far
less important context doesn't exist.
