Who made darkness?
Read the book of Genesis, 1:1-5God created the Darkness.I don't think so.Doesn't it say that he 'separated the light from the darkness' which implies that darkness was already there?That may be true, But God created EVERYTHING. Light, Darkness, Bad and good.Good point but does darkness really count as a thing to be created?Gen 1:1-5 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth 2The earth was without form and void and darkness was on the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. 3And God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light. 4And God saw that the light was good: and God separated the light from the darkness. 5God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.Sorry to quote so much but it seems to me that the passage states that God created the heavens, the earth and light but it does not state the origins of the darkness.

What is the velocity of darkness?
It doesn't have a velocity! However, in theory, one could say that darkness is the only thing that replaces light!! So as light goes away, darkness takes its place!! So darkness probably travels at the speed of light :D - 186000 miles per second (that's about 7.5 times round the earth in a second)
What are the different shapes of the moon you see from the earth are called?
Moon phases. As the moon revolves around the earth on its tilted path, (search for diagrams to find out what happens with it tilted) the light from the sun hits the moon and reflects towards earth. But we see a different amount of light and darkness depending on where it is in the orbit. This causes us to see different shapes.
