I have really been interested in our current theme in Geography. I have always been interested in the Universe. One thing that really intrigued me was Theia and how the Moon was formed. I have read more into it to prove this hypothesis that Earth and the Moon were once a single body. It is interesting to read futher into it because Theia isn't actually proven to be true, because where would a planet as big as Theia come from? If they can find remains of Theia then they could prove where the Moon as come from. Interesting :). I have a few links about Theia below.

Earths Evolution
This subject The Evolution of Earth has made me think hard of the posibilities of life on other planets and the power thats obtainable through higher science. The things that earth has gone through to get to the point we're at is extraordinary. From all the disasters and being at the right distance from our sun is against the odds. Even with having the right size of a sun we are lucky. Where we begin from the Big Bang Theory even that is an awesome unattainable power and with that makes me believe that anything is possible. The amount of force and energy to do that we wouldnt be able to recreate. Even the thought of trying to mess with that kind of force and power scares me. Mankind in my mind was lucky in so many ways to get to this point of evolution. Through all this with the amount of galaxies out there and the amount of stars in them I do believe with the odds there is a planet with life on it. Though with all our advances in technology discovering them were running out of time. As the galaxies move away from each other at the speeds there moving we dont stand a chance. Our technological development is the problem with our inability to search at a faster rate. Although we can and are searching the universe for life, we like the odds of our existance is unreachable. We would need to stop their movement to be able to search everyone with the amount of galaxies and stars in them.
