A resounding yes. What evidence have you seen that makes you think otherwise?
You'd probably be interested in the Myth Busters episode on moon hoaxes, where they tear apart a load of popular conspiracy theories. Just do a search for "Myth Busters moon" on YouTube and you'll find plenty.
Like I say, I swing both ways on this. What evidence you ask? Well not evidence more niggling doubt.
For example, given the timing, at the height of the cold war and with USA and USSR racing to be first on the moon, is it beyond the possible that the Americains could have staged it?
Just recently I read that there is more computer stuff in today's washing machines than was in the computers controlling the moon shot. Is it credible that such basic computer power was sufficient?
In the same programme it was admitted that as the eagle was landing, a malfunction led the astronauts to believe the eagle was travelling well faster than their speedo was indicating, yet they still managed to land softly, on suitable ground, in the moon landscape!
Niggling doubts.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
