Men on the moon?

I missed the Theory, what Theory?

Did it mention "no stars in the backround" and "the shadows are the wrong way" because they havealready been refuted.

Did they tell us why anyone would want to pull such a scam? What would be the reason and how many people would you have to keep quiet to pull of such a stunt. Seems like someone would have talked by now.

Haha , this is one of my favorite conspiracy theories. As wrong as they get of course , but funny nevertheless.

Its the same as creationism. Most if not all of their "evidence" has been refuted, yet they use it anyway. Its definatly a good money maker though.

Quite a bit of their evidence comes from misunderstandings (hmm, sounds like creationism again )
Like the No stars in the background, that was mentioned by wblastyn, Obviously these people have never taken a photography class about exposures. (an interesting note about that, many movies that shoot night scenes dont get stars either, they often have to edit them in, thus, the existance of stars would actually mean something wasn't right. )

I believe the Flat Earth society thought it was a secular government plot to move away from the flat earth taught in the bible and towards the secular idea that the earth is round and that we can fly in outerspace, thus giving credit to our ability to Orbit the earth, thus making it more plausible for them to teach a round earth in school.

If you're talking about the FOX program "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" the Bad Astronomer attacks it here

Round earth! Never!

I say that knowing that flat earth is not really in the bible. I have personally searched the far corners of the earth looking for a bible that supports flat earth, it's not there.

That bible must be above the "firmament".

That bible must be above the "firmament".

Bingo!

Dang it Dr.Lao! I was going to mention the Bad Astronomer... In any event, here's a link to the main page:http://www.badastronomy.com/

It is issues like this along with the age of the Earth that make me scaratch my head and ask, "How in the world could that prove their was/is a God?" Someone else asked a good question, how would anyone benefit from such a hoax? Also, why is it that someone would even try to prove it false, how would that benefit them or their belief system (religion).....

Aliens have a base on the moon and NASA know it, they were afraid the aliens were hostile and couldn't think of an excuse of why not to land on the moon when everyone knew that had the technology, so they hoaxed it. Everyone knows that (This is what some people actually believe).

Yes, some of us do, also we believe that the reason the moon is shrinking is because the aliens are eating the moon, which I believe most everyone knows is made out of green cheese.

Wallace: No cheese, Gromit! Not a bit in the house!
...
Wallace: Gromit, that's it! Cheese! We'll go somewhere where there's cheese!
Wallace: Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese...

I thought that America would hoax it because we wanted to win the space race against Russia. I know we have landed on it by now. Atleast, I hope so. Or is everything about space exploration a conspiracy used to keep us contently grouned and out of Mothership territory. "ITS A COOK BOOK! ITS A COOK BOOK!" (Twilight zone music)

Hostile Aliens only 250,000 miles away? If they are advance enough to travel from another solar system to our moon and were truly hostile they would think nothing of decimating the primitive rubes on Earth who only have the technology to travel to our own moon. They would have to travel faster than light speed to make it to our moon from their system. Our moon is only light SECONDS from Earth..why would they bother to stop when they could be at Earth in a matter of seconds? I guess people do not stop to think before they come up with some of these ideas. Thanks for letting me know, I had never heard that one regarding the moon.
