The moon's placement is also such that it's the same size as the sun when viewed from the earth, making total solar eclipses more stunning, and intelligent life viewing them may become a more inquisitive species, and maybe more likely to innovate Agriculture, and so sit around in cities considering philosophical questions. But is this the only Destined Entity?
The moon has not always been at the distance away from earth that it is now. The moon is moving away from earth at about 1.5 inches per year. Thus, one cannot argue about its placement because it has not always been at the distance it is now. What people knew about the moon before the 20th century is merely an artifact of when literate man appeared on earth.
