There are several theories out there for the formation of the moon. The current most widely accpeted one is called the Giant Impact Hypothesis. The basic idea is that at some point after the young earth had formed but while the surface was still molten a Mars sized object collided with Earth and the material ejected and began orbiting the Earth. This material later formed the Moon.
