Nether-the-less, Newtonian mechanics is consistent with the moon's orbit
and the conventionally accepted rotational period of the earth -- and
inconsistent with a stationary earth. Of course I should have added
another option:
3. The moon is orbiting much lower than conventionally claimed.
You might be able to think up some others too.

The mechanics of its orbit are almost perfectly explained by newtonian
mechanics. Where it comes from is immaterial, it is there orbiting at
that distance with that rotational period and Newtonian mechanics
explains why it continues to do so if the earth is rotating with the
apparent rotational period against the stars.

He also wrote great treatises (is that a word) on God. The scientific
method distinguishes between objective truth and opinion. I am only
interested in that which we can know (objective truth).
