When Christians believe the Bible...
You've been told several times that the comparison to religion is a bad one, but I'm going to try again, because in actual fact, your hoax ideas have a lot more in common with faith based thought than the Apollo project.
Just as you've concluded that Apollo was faked and have sought evidence to support this idea, faith starts with the conclusion that whatever is in the belief system is true, and accepts anything that supports the beliefs and dismisses anything that doesn't. Believing without proof is seen as a virtue rather than an imperfection, and considered a sign of strong faith to have confidence in spite of no physical evidence.
The Apollo program doesn't rely on faith. There is hard physical evidence, and exhaustive documentation at every step of the way, created and verified by millions of credible witnesses. While there are certainly people who believe it is true because it's what they've learned and not because of any intensive interrogation of the available evidence, the fact is the evidence is available for anyone that wants to see it. This is very different from any religion. No religious leader can provide evidence on demand. They can only tell you the truth as they see it and ask for your trust.
The hoax ideas you have presented are the same. You don't have actual evidence. You have things that don't look right to you. You have have arguments based on asking people to imagine if it were faked. You present places where you speculate that it could have been faked without considering what evidence would be left behind to confirm the hypothesis. You've actually said the words, "the proof is the feasibility", as though the fact that it
could have been faked (in your estimation), then that is evidence that it
must have been faked. It shouldn't need to be mentioned just how absurd that logic is. You consistently use a tactic common to religious proselytizers, of trying to shift the burden of proof to everyone else. "My religion is real and you can't find anything to prove me wrong." This is the essential nature of all of your threads. You identify some minor piece of minutiae that you believe supports your foregone conclusion and challenge the world to prove it false. Any legitimate challenge to the authenticity of Apollo will present affirmative evidence of fakery.
When my dad died of cancer, I was 23 yrs old, and under a lot of stress from every direction. In this context, I converted to Christian Fundamentalism.... for 6 years, I was a Crazy Head-over-heels Jesus and Bible lover... Smart as I think I am -- I swallowed the errors of this Book, because there was sweetness in the church that really worked for us.
My condolences on your loss, but can you recognize how your history of being logically compromised is potentially a pattern that is being repeated?
Humans are wired to be "Tribal" and also "to believe myths that benefit them". There's no shame -- it's biology.
If you understand there is no shame, then perhaps now is the time to swallow your pride and acknowledge that you've been hoodwinked again. Being a member of a small intellectual elite capable of unraveling the most elaborate hoax in human history must certainly be an attractive position for someone who thinks so highly of his intellectual prowess. Are you capable of rising above that benefit and joining the rest of us in the real world?
This is why good science places the conclusion at the end of the process instead of the beginning. It minimizes these human tendencies and better allows people to follow
all of the facts to wherever they go, instead of just the ones that confirm their preconceived notions.
In short -- the DoD leaders seemed to realize that this was doable - and that the KEY to success didn't lie in "Perfection of emulating physics" but rather in making sure that Apollo delivered a message and momentum that people really really wanted (and needed?)... And there was enough "real stuff" to provide the proof, and for the fake parts -- just need to have it be good enough. Mission accomplished... It worked 100% .... with the exact same effect as if we had really landed men on the moon. 100% of the Benefits achieved -- money well spent. Mission success. Kudos to the Patriots who did this for us, and protected the legacy by not becoming Traitors.
This is a great example of the wild speculation that you continue to use without a shred of evidence. Which DoD leaders? Seems to who? How did they realize it without relying on people with expertise to research it for them? Where is the evidence of these feasibility studies? Where was it filmed (not where
might it have been filmed, or where do people say it was filmed)? Why 6 missions and dozens of hours of lunar video? If the point was to win the race, why not just fake the winning landing? How did they fake 800+ lbs. of lunar rocks and regolith? If it's the nonsense about "irradiating earth rocks or meteorites", then please duplicate the process to demonstrate.
You don't have evidence, you have a story. A story that you believe without evidence is a lot nearer to religion than people who can construct the story of Apollo on literally millions of data points of evidence.
