Yes, when necessary. I have no reason to believe or disbelieve the Titanic sunk, so I accept that it did.

How do we know it's bits of the moon? Cos they're made from different stuff and they're definitely not from earth
If a theist used that argument with the god/bible thing, you would call it circular. What is the difference?
You say the moon exists because we have rocks from the moon. For sake of argument, I will accept the rocks are extraterrestrial, but that does not prove that they are from the moon.
Neimenovic Wrote:Like dyr mentioned, we don't currently possess the technology to make that possible, since clouds would interfere with the signal
And if you're going to say 'you can't prove the government doesn't have that technology', that's technically true, but we have no reason to assume it does....
As I stated above, there is nothing wrong with accepting some that is reasonable, but that is not proof.
Neimenovic Wrote:]... the moon is a figment of your imagination
This one is even easier: everybody who isn't blind can see the moon
And we can take pictures of it with an objective device like a camera, in case you're about to say is a mass delusion
I never said we could not see the moon. Maybe it is a 'Death Star' or a 'Borg Ship'.
Pictures and videos are not proof. They can be evidence, but I saw a video on YouTube of a bird swooping down into a park and grabbing a kid and flying off with him.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
