  • 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.

Phil had posted an image of earth taken from Apollo 16 which I claimed was CGI ,then stronginHim said that we didn't have CGI back in 1972, so I'm asking how come we have the image now ?
We have the photo because it was a real photo, taken with a real camera from someone who was there at the time.
You tell US how a CGI of the earth was made in 1972 when computers didn't exist.

Still, what ever the image is it's CGI , this is not real, if you can't see it well I don't know what else to say.
That image was released in 2012 when CGI existed. And nobody ever claimed it was real. The images from the Apollo missions are real and were taken before CGI existed.

You’re claim that all photos of the earth from space are CGI has no basis.

What??? I’m sure you have photos from the 1960’s and 1970’s. Are they CGI, and if not, how come you have them now?

We have computers now because someone invented them.

CGI is Computer Generated Image.
You are saying that a photo of the earth taken from Apollo 16 in 1972 was generated by a computer. Yet they didn't have computers when Apollo 16 was launched in 1972.

No, what I'm asking is how come they have image now ?

Why wouldn't they??
I still have photos that were taken in 1972; don't you?

Like I said, it is a real photo taken on a camera by someone who was there.

Why should that make any difference? A photo from the 1970's could not be CGI. Having Apollo photos from the 1970's is no difference from you having photo's from the 1970's.

So why did you ask for one then?

You asked, I gave, and you were dismissive because wild horses would never convince you. So why ask?

That just smells of trolling.

So in other words you weren't interested in the answer. You just want to bait people so you can claim anything supplied to you as evidence is fake. That just shows you up.

Asking questions when your mind is made up not to believe the answers means you're not being honest either to others or yourself.

You can't tell us now.

You said that it was a CGI photo.
I asked you if they had CGI in 1972 and you, yourself, replied "no".
You can't explain how a photo of the moon that was taken in 1972 can be Computer Generated when you have admitted that they didn't have computers then.
All you can do is repeat, "don't believe it; not real, nothing would make me believe" etc in a desperate attempt to convince yourself that it can't be real.
You asked for evidence - just one piece of evidence.
You were given it.
You don't believe it.

None of that means that the photo isn't real. ALL it shows is your complete unwillingness to believe evidence - or that you are selective about what you consider to be evidence.

You can only say that if you are dismissing ALL astronauts - even the Christian ones who talk about Jesus - as liars.

Well, the obvious answer is that your claim is wrong. If the photo was taken in 1972, when CGI did not exist, how can it be a CGI photo?

If it isn't real, as you claim, how could it have been made by CGI which did not exist in 1972?

Yes you did.
No he didn't. He said in an earlier post:

"No that video does not say all photos of earth are faked. I’ve watched that video before, and it is about a composite picture called the “blue marble” released in 2012, but it is not the original “blue marble” from Apollo 17 in 1972, and it is not saying that the original photo was CGI. But I purposely avoided that photo anyway." (my emphasis)

Phil specifically said that the 2012 picture was a composite picture, but that the original, taken from Apollo 17 in 1972, was not.

It is within a long list of claims by NASA who claim these images are real. Easy done.
What claim is there that this Apollo 16 image is real to begin with ?
