He couldn't be more wrong. So much of our understanding of the universe, like the age of our planet, what it's made of, what others are made of, the fact that the moon came from the earth, all that is geology.
The moon may have come from the Earth, but there's a very good chance that the moon was a large celestial body that collided with the Earth during the early stages of its formation, and took a bit of its matter with it when it begun to orbit afterward. This would explain both how it got there and why the dates match up, but just saying the moon came from the earth doesn't make a whole lotta sense. How else could it have gotten there, if it didn't originate somewhere else and hit with enough velocity to then start to orbit? It couldn't just fall off. That's my theory at least.
