Thanks mrdobolinda, exactly. Bad science all over that page. Like this for example:
"As just one of hundreds of examples, consider the tides that the moon causes on earth. If the moon was closer to the earth, tides would be greatly increased. Ocean waves could sweep across the continents. The seas themselves might heat to the boiling point from the resulting friction. On the other hand, a more distant moon would reduce the tides. Marine life would be endangered by the resulting preponderance of stagnant water! Mankind would also b e in trouble because the oxygen in the air we breathe is replenished by marine plants. We can conclude that the moon is in the "correct" position for man's well-being. Even such details as the mass of protons and the strength of gravity have values that give stability to the universe and thus reinforce the Anthropic Principle."
The moon isn't in the "correct" position. It is in "a" position. Hate to tell you the moon WAS closer to the earth in the past, and every year is moving farther and farther away by what I think is a half or full inch.
Better enjoy those tides kiddies..
