  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Another look at the moon landing.

This makes me wonder why your here on this thread.
I told you that on another thread.
i) I don't like the implication, or sometimes statement, that unless we believe the earth is flat, we do not have the truth and do not believe the Bible. And yes, that is relevant to moon landings because the earth was photographed from space. Accept the moon landings, and you have to accept a photo they took showing the shape of the earth.

ii) I don't like the fact that you have gone back on your acceptance of the moon landings and are saying that eye witnesses who are now born again Christians, are liars. You WERE moved by Charles Duke's testimony - deny it or ignore it, you can't go back in time and change the fact that you watched it and it affected you. In fact, you were so moved that you said 'sorry' to God for doubting.
Now you have apparently said 'sorry' to God for having said 'sorry' to him.
It gives you no credibility - but worse, it gives Christianity a bad name.
Believing/not believing in the moon landings is not a sin - saying one thing to God, changing your mind and calling other Christians liars, might well be.

iii) I live in hope that you will one day at least try to look at things reasonably.
Learn how to interpret the Bible - rather than saying "this word is/is not mentioned".
Learn some basics about science. Yes, it is difficult, but there are plenty of kids books, or "idiot's guide books" around if you really wanted to learn.
Stop saying that everyone/everything that does not accept your beliefs is lying, faking or actually involved in some conspiracy theory. Unless you genuinely suffer from paranoia, there is no reason to believe that experts can't be trusted.
People who have studied for years to get where they are or do what they are doing, know a little bit more about stuff that someone who "can't get my head around" science.

You couldn't get more insulting if you tried.

Bart Sibrel - An author who wrote a book on space & NASA. Bill Kaysing is another author of of a book titled ' We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle.'

Kaysing asserted that during his much earlier tenure at Rocketdyne he was privy to documents pertaining to the Mercury, Gemini, Atlas, and Apollo programs, and argued that one did not need an engineering or science degree to determine that a hoax was being perpetrated

  • NASA lacked the technical expertise to put a man on the Moon.
  • the absence of stars in lunar surface photographs was indicative of a hoax.[5]
  • there were unexplained optical anomalies in the photographs taken on the Moon.[6]
  • there was an absence of blast craters beneath the Lunar Modules, and that the rocket engines of the Lunar Modules should have generated an enormous dust cloud near their landing sites during the final seconds of descent.[7]
  • the death of Thomas Baron, a quality control and safety inspector for North American Aviation, was mysterious and indicative of a hoax.
He also noted that Dutch newspapers questioned the "authenticity" of the Moon landings.
The overwhelming proof of the moon landings prove these conspiracy theories totally wrong. You take the word if a cab driver over the pain truth.

On the ground, maybe not.
But in the sky; a plane and the moon can be photographed together, A bird and the sun can be photographed together - as can a balloon and a cloud.
-
I do not believe you understand my point, it is not about photographing objects together.

The point is, to objects close to size and that are supposed to be at great distances apart. When photographed are not actually that different in their appearance.

These are mountains photographed from 275 miles away. So if they appear this small do you really think an ISS would be actually visible.

The ISS is not much bigger than an airplane and so photographing it. It is not 240+ miles difference in height, if it was that much difference in their distances. The ISS when photographed, would in no way be able to be zoomed in as close as i can. I mean there is a big difference from 6 miles high to 250 miles high and the difference is just not there.
The largest passenger airplane, 747-400 has 31285 cubic feet of pressurized space while the ISS has a max pressurize space of 35491.


Here is a zoomed picture of the ISS taken from earth. Can’t post it so you’ll have to go to the article to see it.

I'm not trying to be insulting.
Children's books explain things simply. And there is a whole series of books called "The idiot's guide to ......." . Look them up, they cover all sorts of subjects, and explain things simply and thoroughly.

There's no point in suggesting you start with Einstein when you find science difficult.

I understood the point you were making, and it was pointless, seeing as you provided no details of lens, focal length, etc.
The point is, to objects close to size and that are supposed to be at great distances apart. When photographed are not actually that different in their appearance.
Yeah, your fuzzy blob image of the ISS looks exactly like the clear, sharp image of the passenger jet :doh:
These are mountains photographed from 275 miles away. So if they appear this small do you really think an ISS would be actually visible.

275 miles through consistently dense atmosphere, as opposed to rapidly decreasing density straight up? Yes, but it appears as a bright dot to the naked eye, since the reflected sunlight contrasts so much with the darkness of the night sky.

No I don't, so what is that thing that is supposed to be up there ? It's laughable ^_^
International Space Station and about 11,000 satellites.
