Well, the hallmark of conspiracy theorist is he exempts his own theories about his pet peeve from the sort of scrutiny he directs at the pet peeve itself.

Exactly. A conspiracy theorist will believe something they read on a website attributed to an anonymous source, but any evidence you present against them they will nitpick it bit by bit to find the tiniest inconsistency. And they think they don't even have to prove their conspiracy is real, they just have to poke holes in the official story. The tiniest inconsistency in the official story = massive conspiracy is real.
I've been meaning to type up "rules for conspiracy theorists", but haven't had the time yet. However I might just have to get it done.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
I just send Moon-Hoax-Believers to Moon Base Clavius and its satellite forum. Without a spacesuit.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
The moon landing was mainly a political stunt to go one better than the Russians. (This was in the middle of the cold war after all) It seems to me that the Russians must have tracked the spacecraft with radar every inch of the way, any evidence of fakery would have made headlines all over the world.
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!  You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
Moon landing, take one:

I'm surprised... no mythbusters yet?

Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method. 
Conspiracy theorists always like to ask questions but never like to give definitive, evidenced based answers to those questions.
I've always been of the opinion that they do far more harm to society than some of the events that they're skeptical of. 9/11 truthers for example. Their BS acts as a distraction from the real causes and contexts of events, leading people up the garden path. And then we wonder why things like 9/11 happen again and again. |
