Interesting site. The CURRENTLY prevailing impact theory of Earth's moon formation (as well as the increase in Earth's mass and influence of its current inclination and axial rotation) seems to agree with what has been attributed to Joseph Smith. According to the theory, one protoplanet collided with another. The collision added core mass to the larger body (now called Earth) and ejected mass from both bodies which eventually formed the Moon. This "breaking up and remodeling" of these worlds and the creation of a stabilizing moon seems to have been a precurser to the establishment of life on earth.

As for how God created life here; it "is wisdom and it remaineth in Him."
