To hopefully haul this discussion back out of the realm of myth - which I admit is entirely my fault since I brought it up in the first place - I'd like to restate or at least elaborate my original query.
I haven't made it through all the good answering links that have been posted after my opening post, so if you're one of the kind folks who took the time to provide them, I'm still grateful and hope you don't feel ignored.
My point was that the difference in quantity and type of lunar cratering on the near side vs. the far side - especially the mares - leads me to think that the difference itself is more supportive of an electric universe / EDM-origin for the cratering than it would be for an impact origin. If the mares were formed from discharges between the Earth and the Moon, it would make sense for the near side display more of them than the far side, and that's certainly the case. I was wondering how mainstream astronomy accounted for the difference, and since there's a good chance I've already had my question answered by the subsequent links, I'm going to read them now.
I didn't mean for the discussion to devolve into a debate about Sitchen - even though I'm the one who derailed it - so sorry about that!
