And no doubt you accept testimony as valid evidence. I say this assuming most of the evidence you have for your beliefs from testimony. I'm assuming you either believe in the moon landing or not and I'm guessing you haven't yourself been on the moon nor were you there taking the "fake pictures" to support your view one way or another. What is it about this testimony that causes you to reject it?
I don't accept unchallenged testimony as valid evidence because people lie, forget, are deluded or insane.
That is why in courts we have lawyers who challenge the evidence that is produced.
I believe that the moon landing exists because there is ample documentary evidence coupled with the fact that had it been faked the Russians , who were following the whole mission via telescope, would have alerted the world to it. For em it is beyond reasonable doubt that there was a moon landing even though I accept that there is a minute chance it was faked.
What is it about this testimony? For a start it is all hearsay generally not valid in any court, there is no supporting evidence and a great deal of the bible is self evidently wrong in that it is self contradictory As well as demonstrably wrong.
