For a start, they placed mirrors on the moon which we're still bouncing lasers off.
For another, the presence of foot prints, the descent module of the LEM, and the flag on the surface of the moon from Apollo 11 have recently been verified again by being photographed from lunar orbit.
Also, the Russians and Chinese have also successfully soft landed on the moon, sent photos from the moon, and thus confirmed the moon can be landed on by a heavy space craft, and the landing rockets won't blast out a crater, and the lander won't subside into puffy dust, and the surface of the moon looks an awfully lot like the photos sent back by Apollo 11 astronauts, and you can't see the stars in photos of the sky during lunar day for precisely the same reason why you can't see a firefly in a photograph of the a day on earth - dynamic range of the film is only 4 stops at most.
If the Russians and the Chinese have any doubts about Apollo 11, they would speak up.

I know! Let's debate if Elvis is alive!
I think the lesson is it would take a man who can believe in the Apollo hoax theory to believe in the Christian god.
