Theory dictates that the moon was once part of Earth due to a collision with

another object? Who says the moon couldn't have never been from this planet, it could have come from any other place and get trapped in the Earth's orbit. Amirite?
 
That was once the prevailing theory about the moon. But see cut and paste, link below:

Prior to the study of the Apollo samples, there was no consensus about the origin of the Moon. There were three principal theories: co-accretion which asserted that the Moon and the Earth formed at the same time from the Solar Nebula; fission which asserted that the Moon split off of the Earth; and capture which held that the Moon formed elsewhere and was subsequently captured by the Earth. None of these work very well. But the new and detailed information from the Moon rocks led to the impact theory: that the Earth collided with a very large object (as big as Mars or more) and that the Moon formed from the ejected material. There are still details to be worked out, but the impact theory is now widely accepted.
 
Well , the astrounauts who ''went to the moon'', said they found another kind of rock who only exists on the moon , that there wasn't such a rock here on the planet earth , it was also used to proove they really landed on the moon surface , but if this rock only exits on the moon surface , it means that the moon couldn't have been created through a collision , between the earth and another object , so it means at least for me , that the moon , came from far away , from outside the solar sytem , and them it got trapped inside the earth gravity , It's what I think.
