Posts about God were removed. This topic concerns the moon landings. Let's keep things on topic and not attack each other.
I saw the earlier note about posts being removed; sounds like things got a bit o/t (I didn't see them). I was wondering what JohnK meant about "see .... posts were deleted" as if my attention was being drawn to the issue, as if they concerned me. Still confused, but that's OK.
Hey - I resemble that comment!
Question for the believers - let's assume all astute scientists congregated on the moon - how long before they reach a decision as to which comes first - chicken or egg? Hasn't that baffled scientists from all solar systems for eternity? Enough to drive them all 'nutters' I would suggest.
Actually, I have been suspecting that your tongue has been firmly in your cheek
. Still suspect it. But the chicken-and-the-egg thing isn't so much an issue for scientists as it is for lay preachers.
BOOM-TISH!!
I believe the moon landings were a hoax. I didn't insult anyone.
In your opinion I posted about mythical medieval beliefs. You might be right. I might be wrong. It wasn't irrelevant to the discussion. On the contrary.
I was trying highlight the arrogance of science and the replies proved it.
No tongue in cheek there
. How do you know you didn't insult anyone? I am genuinely insulted that
anyone could believe the moon landings were a hoax. It should insult everyone's intelligence. I was also insulted when you suggested earlier I wasn't able to think for myself. There's a bit of arrogance going round, eh?
I wasn't taking this thread too seriously as I didn't think there were actually serious 'hoaxers' here (I wasn't meaning to call anyone
here a 'nutter' as I didn't believe they genuinely thought the moon landing was a hoax). It appears I was wrong.
Fair dinkum - does anyone here have any more evidence that the moon landings were a hoax as opposed to that they were genuine? Carried out a personal investigation, or merely relying on 'internet'? Have they actively tested the pros and cons of each argument and come to a decision for themselves? (Oops, that's the arrogant science approach again!! Damn, what else to do ???)
May I ask how would the 'hoax believers' account for the lunar rover tracks you can see on the moon's surface? The lander remnants you can see there, exactly where they were filmed landing, with people attached? How did the 'hoaxers' matched the tracks with the filmed trips? What say the hoax believers to the composition of the lunar rocks? How were they faked?
Never mind the science. There's always the internet I guess.
