If the moon suddenly spun off into space how would this affect us on earth?
I wanted to ask what life would be like without the moon but was told once that life wouldn't have started without the moons existence so have modified my question.

Presumably the same ones that do weather forecasting by whether or not their cows are lying down!
As for womens cycles I find this hard to believe
a) because of the variability
b) because other mammals don't show the same periodicity and that would imply some sort of special relationship between humans and the moon on a biological level.
Sometimes there is such a thing as a coincidence

I believe the gravitational pull affects the was the earth spins and the anngle odf the spin it is possible the earth couls either wobble affecting seasons making greater parts od the globe uninhabitable or over time move nearer too or futher from the sun.... not sure ~I've seen so many prof cox progs I get muddled
If the moon suddenly vanished, since the moon is the creator of tides, all the oceans would come rushing to the side of the earth pointing to the sun. We would have the exact same size of tides occurring at the same time each day. Life would be much different and have to be different because we'd be covered in water for like half a day. Scientists believe the moon is currently getting inches and inches away from the earth each year. I watched a program about it on the discovery channel and this is how I know this. Oh, and we would all die.
That's correct but, if the moon were getting inches and inches away from the earth each year, it would rule out Newton's first law, an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force, because of inertia and gravity the moon doesn't crash into the earth due to the moon's inertia it stays revolving around the earth. Due to the mass of of the earth it has enough gravity to pull the moon toward it. The theory of something that crashed into earth the size of mars and the moon formed, scientist have found reasons to reject this and other theories.
