I'm not so sure that it's not open to debate. Last I heard all anyone could agree on is that the moon is from our own solar system, not outside of it.
I am leaning toward the school of though that says the moon was once part of the earth. Just look at how many planets have moons.

Why should there be water on the Moon? Simply for the same reason that there's water on Earth. A favorite theory is that water, either as water by itself or as its components of hydrogen and oxygen, was deposited on Earth during its early history--mostly during a period of "late heavy bombardment" 3.9 billion years ago--by the impacts of comets and asteroids.
