Did We Really Go To the Moon? Think about it

**Yes…No

God.

Man on moon.

… Budweiser?**
Uh, don’t you have any beer?

Guinastasia, thanks for sending a clue my way.

Manhattan, sorry about my rant.

Wildest Bill, read Michner’s The Source. It may put creation and God revealing himself to man in a different perspective. It’s fiction but you may find it enlightening.

Uh, don’t you have any beer?

Not right now, tomndebb, but when I do, I’ll raise a glass to you, my unflappable friend.

Yes, yes we did.

I encourage you all to download a nice little series called the Lonely Astronaught. It’s extremely funny.

All right. I thought about it. The answer is “Yes”.

Which god, Zeus?

:twitch, twitch:

How many heads does this hydra have?!?

I’d like to know why FOX hasn’t capitalised on all the people who watch these conspiracy type shows. It could become a rather popular series:

[li]Was there really a war in Vietnam?[/li][li]Is George W. Bush really the President?[/li][li]Hi Opal![/li][li]Did the US “reconnissance” plane that crashed recently in fact land on the Moon?[/li]
Of course, we’ll have to make sure that all the sources that say otherwise (being an Australian, I haven’t seen this show, so I’ll have to ask: How was any evidence presented? Did they interview any of the people who participated in the landing and then call them conspiratorial liars? Or did they just ignore them?) are discredited during the show, and we’ll need a nice background story…

Of course, many other things in history never happened either, but I’d like to concentrate on the ones we have video evidence for first. After all, it’s a lot easier to call something “faked” after millions of people have watched it in their own homes. :slight_smile:

No, no, not a real make-believe God. The weird make-believe one who some people think planted fossils to fool us and who requires belief in nonsense in order to get into Heaven and who says “don’t do gay stuff” and stuff like that.

You’ve met His worshippers. Annoying lot, no?

Oh, and while we’re all contemplating whether we went to the moon or not, think about this:

In 30 years, almost everyone involved in the space program will be dead.
In 70 years, almost all the film used to document the event will have been coroded beyond repair.
The only evidence we’ll have left to prove that we did go to the moon in 1969 will be anecdotal evidence and copies of pictures and film (or copies of copies).

So if you think it’s difficult trying to convince people of the moon landing now, just wait a few generations and watch the fun begin.

Manny:

Oh. That god. The one that breaks His heart. Sorry. Carry on…

If there is any justice at all by then you’ll be able to buy a ticket and go yourself.

We should still have the best evidence of all – the moon rocks. Not that it will convince the blissfully ignorant, but nothing short of a brain transplant will.

Just for fun how the heck do you know they are “moon” rocks and not just some rocks from somewhere on this planet. Since you have never been to the moon or all over the whole the earth how can you tell they were not from here?

Remember before I get flamed I am NOT saying they are not the indeed Mickeal Jackson “moonrocks” I am just asking how do you know they are really from the moon for fun?

Well, just off the top of my head, since the moon has no atmosphere, I’d expect moon rocks to show no oxidation or weathering.

Wildest Bill:

Okay, I suppose it’s time I 'fessed up. I am the one who supplied NASA the alleged “moon rocks”. They are actually not rocks at all, but are mayonnaise sandwiches. We got them to look like rocks by getting Richard Nixon and Leonid Breshnev to participate in a massive cover-up involving everyone in Hollywood and four Quakers from Cleveland.

(By the way, stop that. My cat can read your thoughts.)

And WB strikes again! “Well, gee, there’s all this evidence to the contrary… but I’ll believe it anyway!”

No, Bill, it’s not “just for fun,” it’s wrong. Wrong. There is no vast conspiracy. And you’re making yourself out to look like an idiot by pursuing this stupidity. Surely that’s not what you want to do? :rolleyes:

Bill (taking deep breath here). Within a very short time of your OP, you got links to several sites and several discussions here that discussed the entire Fox show at length and carefully went over each and every single bit of challenge.

Guess what - they also discussed (at length) the moon rocks. and why they should be considered proof.

By posting your question, you pretty much admitted to us that you didn’t look at any of the links. Do you understand why folks would be a bit, um, upset with you? So, maybe, just for fun, you could (pause) READ THE LINKS THAT WERE SO THOUGHTFULLY PROVIDED ALREADY!!!???!?!?!??!??!!

Wildest Bill, while I don’t wish to stifle your intellectual curiousity, you surely must realize there is a wealth of information about these rocks not contained in a silly made-for-tv afterschool special. For example:
[ul]
[li] This page gives details about scientific discoveries associated with Apollo, especially the fact that the moon rocks are older than anything found on earth. This fact alone should convince any reasonable person. Oh wait, radiometric dating techniques are flawed and the earth is only ~10,000 years old, so this can’t be right. :rolleyes:[/li][li] This site discusses the Chemical Composition of the Surface, detailing the differences between Earth rocks and moon rocks. It states "No traces of water and no organic compounds, the indicators of living processes, were discovered in any lunar samples. In fact, the Apollo lunar rocks contain only tiny amounts of carbon and carbon-based compounds from which life originates. "[/li][li] Moon Rocks Under the Microscope speaks of “three minerals that could only have been produced under the extreme conditions found on the Moon”. Nothing like it found on earth.[/li][li] From Earth to Moon states that relative to Earth rocks, Moon rocks are “depleted in volatile (C, K, Na, Cl) elements.” and “enriched in refractory (less reactive, more stable) elements”[/li][li] Composition of the Earth shows a comparison of the chemical composition of earth and moon rocks, which supports the previous conclusions.[/li][li] Finally, more data on moon rock composition can help you draw your own conclusions.[/li][/ul]
Now I suppose it is possible that all the scientists involved are just part of some grand conspiracy, probably orchestrated by the same evil cabal that controls scientific discoveries related to evolution. Or maybe, just maybe, you could take this information at face value and think for yourself without relying on Fox Network or the Bible to tell you what to believe.

I have it on good authority that there is an ongoing mass teledeportation to the planet New Jersey.
