So when are you going to stop Gish Galloping and start to present evidence of any of your assertions?

Well, there was a huge pile of pseudoscience attempting to discredit the Apollo lunar specimens.  But since we've already determined that Tinda-whatsis has no expertise in science, we get to decide whether to trust his interpretation of geology evidence or the entire world's professional geological community.  Tough choice.

For my money, the wait is over.  I'm stepping out on a limb here, but I'll go with the entire world's professional geological community.   :)

Really?  You're siding with all the relevant scientists in the world over some nut on the Internet?  Must be a religious belief.

Precisely and while I'm a religious man it is not religion but the science and engineering that  proves my belief.

That's all very well and good, but it doesn't prove anything.  ;)

The list of facts would take a --umm- a forum to put forth.

Because he's quite obviously a troll whose only intent is to attract attention.  He has no ability whatsoever to actually discuss space flight in general or Apollo specifically.

really? ut you can't explain why of course?
No, every one of these out-of-context factoids and silly conspiracy claims you are regurgitating can and have been explained here and on other forums many times.  The problem is that you can't explain them; copying and pasting things you don't understand isn't an argument.  Again, this isn't a YouTube comments thread; you're expected to put a little thought into your claims.

He is spot on, mate! I know you do't like that.
You mean the kid who claimed a polar orbit was a circular path above a given latitude?  Hilarious, especially since you are blindly quoting him as an authority after smugly lecturing us about arguments from authority.

I am a bit fed up with all the liers here.
I think Apollo happened largely as described, and unlike you I have actually studied the program a little and have some clue what I'm talking about.  I work in his field, in fact, and used to work for the guys that designed the vehicles that returned men from space beginning with Mercury.  Come to think of it, I've worked in the same hangar in which the Mercury capsules were readied for flight.  I think it's funny that you're calling us "liers", as if the opinion of an anonymous, clueless troll counted for anything.

Of course, if you don't like being called a troll and having your ineptitude called out, then you could grow up and try to learn something.   I don't hold out much hope for that, but as always I am prepared to be pleasantly surprised.

I missed that one, where did he say this bit of illogic?

btw I have never seen a peer reviewed paper that we have been to the moon

Pal, now that I've done some research for you and shown you a number of peer-reviewed papers on Lunar rocks do you know withdraw this assertion?

And I'm still waiting for your evidence to support the claim that the Moon rocks are fakes. When are you going to provide it?
