⁣Was the Moon really “driven” towards the Earth?

Consider the words of ancient scientists on this matter:

— The Greek philosopher Anaxagoras in the 5th century BC mentioned treatises that stated that the Moon appeared in the sky after the appearance of the Earth.
— Greek philosopher Apollonius of Rhodes in the 3rd century BC. gives quotes about the inhabitants of Arcadia who “ate acorns, and this was in those days when there was no moon in the sky.”
— The writer and historian Plutarch in the 1st-2nd century AD mentions one of the rulers of Arcadia named Proselenos, which means “below the moon.”
— There are also sources that say that there were once 3 Moons in the sky (perhaps 2 of them turned out to be unsuccessful projects?)

As well as a study by modern scientist David Icke, who talks about the fact that the Moon is an artificially created celestial body to control humanity.
