Without having any scientific knowledge to argue the more technical points...

14. Moon Diameter: How does one explain the "coincidence" that the moon is just the right distance, coupled with just the right diameter, to completely cover the sun during an eclipse? Again, Isaac Asimov responds, "There is no astronomical reason why the moon and the sun should fit so well. It is the sheerest of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the planets is blessed in this fashion."
What on earth (or moon, for that matter) does the size of the Moon have to do with whether it's hollow or not?

Okay, maybe that's more evidence for the "spaceship" theory than purely the "moon is hollow" theory, but even if it was, and we assume that the Moon *is* in fact an alien spaceship, why the heck would they bother to park their spaceship in a perfect orbit around Earth at exactly the right distance to look the same size as the Sun?

If only they'd bothered to apply common-sense to their theory before they started on the "science" part... >_<
