This is a classical example of a tautology.
The sentence "if [P and Not(P)], then Q" is always true, regardless of the truth values of P and Q.
This is the principle that, from a contradiction, anything (and everything) follows as a logical conclusion.
Essentially, assuming something that can never be true is true ("If the moon is made of green cheese"), you can prove anything.
Thus the statement "If the moon is made of green cheese then pigs can fly" is true.

What is the meaning of the word valid?
valid = based on good reasons or facts that are true: Actually, in logic, a valid argument is one where the premises lead to the conclusion, whether or not the premises (facts it is based on) are true. For example, the argument "All Presidents of the United States have green skin; Lady Gaga is a President of the United States and therefore has green skin" is a valid argument, notwithstanding the facts that US Presidents don't have green skin and Lady Gaga is not a US President.
