I guess we will just have to wait until they gether all the facts and it all gets interpreted from both worldviews.
You REALLY need to exercise your OWN brain YOURSELF for a change.

Exactly WHAT is the problem just running the scale up a few thousand times and seeing what happens then?
What do you see that would happen on miles wide scale that would not happen on inches scale?
The physics is the same, except of course for the incredible energies involved flinging a mt Everest into the moon at 40,000 miles per hour.
Of COURSE you are going to see splatter. What is wrong with you that you cannot even visualize THAT much?

I can say for CERTAIN we have been hit. Do you think the hits on the moon, only a quarter million miles from Earth somehow deflected all that incoming from hitting Earth? Don't be crazy, SOME OF THAT SHYTE HIT EARTH, 100% for sure. We don't see much SURFACE damage left over because of weather, erosion, earthquakes and so forth, none of that is on the moon so the moon is a record book of all the hits that happened near Earth.
You really need to get out more.
Originally posted by sonhouseThe moon has many craters as well as lava refilled craters. Some of these craters could have been caused by meteors hitting the moon since we have seen it happen. However, the moon is still there and appears round in shape and the moon is much smaller than the earth.

Meteors have also hit the earth, but the meteor has to get past all the other planets and our moon, and then it has to get through our atmosphere before burning up. I believe that means that any meteor that hits the earth will most likely be much smaller than those hitting the moon. I think that makes a mountain size meteor hitting the earth very unlikely.
I believe the big craters on the earth are not made by impact, but by erupting volcanos like the crater formed at Mount St. Helens in 1980.
