attraction between the moon and a single seed is so negligible as to be
immeasurable (I think it's much smaller than the attraction between you and the
seed, but I don't have the calcs at hand to confirm that), and is dwarfed by
other effects having nothing to do with the phase of the moon, such as air
pressure, humidity, soil moisture and chemistry, electrostatic charge, seed
orientation, etc. etc. etc. "
Hmm since the ocean tides, a pretty powerful
force, are greatly affected by the moon's gravitational pull I would
have to dispute your claims here. If the oceans are so greatly affected
one would have to deduce that other elements would also be affected on the earth
by the moons gravitational pull, not the least being the weather. That
said there ARE other factors you didn't even consider when considering how the
moon affects the earth. One VERY obvious effect moon phases have is
the amount of nocturnal light apparent on the earth's surface. As the light
decreases or increases it is not hard to see how that that
would affect plant growth.
Saying the moon, and other
extraterrestrial bodies for that matter, has no effect on the life
forms here on earth seems very silly to me, one can argue the subtle elements of
that influence but saying it has no influence ignores quite a lot.
