Look up 'Mars' orbit' and it's captured moons, 'our sun's heliosphere', 'heavy bombardment', anyways. You'll be able to deduce your own opinion.

There are many papers about the 'heavy bombardment'/late bombardment' too.

Our's is a rare Moon? - Chris Vancil - 11/20/2007 11:00:14 PM
- A late Moon maybe? - Adam - 11/21/2007 9:30:35 AM
  - Certainly an Earth-impactor Moon formation theory stretches credulity. - Jacob Samorodin - 11/24/2007 11:12:39 PM
    - re: Certainly an Earth-impactor Moon formation theory stretches credulity. - Most logical though. - Marcia - 11/25/2007 5:32:00 AM
    - What do you suggest instead? - Adam - 11/25/2007 4:11:18 AM
