nearly as clear as by day.

You have to invent reading and writing before you could record things
first. That didn't happen until around 10,000 BC. Before that, nobody
could write down "The Moon just showed up last month"...

And most people, even after reading and writing was invented, wouldn't
bother to record stuff that everyone already knows about. Especially if
writing materials are expensive and hard to obtain.

Are we being silly, or what?

Do you also deny being a pretend-atheist?

What does impressive cave paintings of 15,000 BC and of those more
recent as of recent as 10,500 BC have to do with words?

I guess in you case, a picture regardless of its authenticity isn't
even worth one word.

You claim to observe that prehistoric humans did not record the moon
until after 10,500 BC and conclude that the moon did not arrive until
then.

The recent arrival hypothesis demands an awful lot from orbital
dynamics, and you even propose an impact that left the Earth pretty much
untouched: There's no geologic evidence for that event whatsoever. From
a physics standpoint it's much better to assume that the moon has been
here all along. There's even geologic evidence for it, as has been
ignored elsewhere.

So let's consider the cave paintings at Lascaux. There's no moon down
there, nit there aren't any stars there either, nor do the sun, clouds,
or rain appear. Does that mean that the skies were empty until after
that period of history? No ... that's a bit far-fetched.

I suspect that since the caves were ... caves ... that the people who
painted down there did not put sky things on the walls. That's a much
better assumption that the idea that the moon wasn't here.

Right, if you say so. Perhaps they were always blind as well as
dumbfounded about most everything outside of those caves. But then,
if not the least bit intelligent, how the hell did they manage to
survive? (were they being taken care of?)
