The good news is that people don't determine our destiny--God does....

Far from being a lifeless ornament in the sky, the Moon holds the answers to some of science's central questions.

Its gravity stabilized the Earth's orbit, and, as it once guided evolution, its tide stirring up nutrients that fostered complex life, it now influences everything from animal migrations and reproduction to the movements of plants' leaves.
