Apollo 11 documentary....

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Several tracking stations triangulated the signals from the Moon.

Apollo 11 took place at the height of the cold war, you can bet the Russians tracked it every inch of the way to the Moon, if it had been fake Pravda would have massive headlines screaming "Fake!" About 400,000 engineers and technicians can keep a secret for 50 years?? A lunar orbiter has taken pictures of the landing sites showing the remains of the LEM and tracks from later moon rovers, Retro reflectors on the surface?

And the USSR had plenty of widely separated tracking stations already in use for their own space program.

It's odd how quite clever people can be religious, but there are plenty of them. They just don't apply those smarts to their beliefs.

I've never understood how some scientists like Hawking got it but Ben Carson still chalks his skills up to a sky hero. 

I can't do a fraction to save my life. But I do get the simple reality that we know a hell of a lot more now than we did in antiquity. The only thing I can think is that even with the Christian or Jew or Hindu or Buddhist who accepts parts of science, but freak out when you point out the conflicts science has with their respective religions, I still think it it is primal psychological fear of being finite.

I think it boils down to preference. If you find comfort or even a fun excuse to persecute, and that's your thing, you will "believe" no matter how intelligent you are.

I agree, humans have no problem criticizing and blaspheming the religions of others, but don't aim that same logic at their own claims.

Probably because the critiques and blasphemies aren't based in logic.

Yes, Earth is God's beautiful golf ball. How can't you see that Brian? - Oh yes you explained it.
