[kj] OT Religion/universes/moon

[melinda grant]

cheers neil--I WASNT BORD,UNIVERSE INFO ALWAYS INTERESTS ME.......

you know WHAT, i did think that the moon was relatively close also,as the 
article i read this info from,stated almost the opposite,thought it was 
either a miss print or just plain wrong info,so i put the info in  post 
yesterday here, to see if anyone here had the same theory as article i read 
concerning the moon,or same point of view--moon is close -- that i was 
thinking  ANYWAY ;-)
