I was first introduced to this mystery when I read William Neil's "How we were Made". Neither Neil nor Knight and Butler posit ET as the architect of the overly providential and serendipitous mechanism of the Earth, Moon Sun system. When you consider all the measurements and unlikely coincidences involved, the truth is blindingly obvious. Why does the moon cover the sun so exactly during a solar eclipse? Why are all of our measuring systems based on the dimensions of the Earth Moon and Sun?
Knight and Butler go further than Neil, stating with the benefit of later research that the Moon is in fact the incubator and regulator of all life on Earth. Knight and Butler are willing to consider the possibility that God was responsible, but then, because many of these numerical synchronicities involve the metric base ten which stems from the use of ten fingers, they suggest that human beings were the creators of the Moon. They quote scripture to back up this thesis; as it is written, "God created man in his own image". Knight and Butler are anxious not to be lumped together with Creationists, but how could man have created the moon 4.6 billion years ago? The answer they give is that at some point in the future, humans will go back billions of years in time to engineer the moon, returning at crucial moments in history to assist in man's evolution and cultural development.
The ET hypothesis is also considered; but Knight and Butler dismiss this idea rather pre- emptorily, suggesting that ufos are mere hallucinations. They reference contemporary physicists who are willing to entertain the idea of time travel citing The New Scientist as a source. 2001 a Space Oddesey is mentioned more than once and the theory that if extra- terrestrials wanted to contact us they would not use slow radio signals but would more likely leave obvious physical traces of visitation. There are a lot of large numbers in this book as one would expect when considering a civilization capable of engineering planetary systems and life on a timescale of billions of years. The engineering extends to the control of the Earth's axis of rotation and tides, all crucial to the development of life. Knight and Butler say that humans are in a kind of time loop and that when, once again man goes back in time to supervise his own creation, then humans will enter a new phase of cosmic development. Altogether an exciting and thought provoking book!
