Another look at the moon landing.

[Apple Sky]

I’m surprised that you have not heard. There is even a movie about it. Anyway an oxygen tank exploded on the way to the moon and they were forced to circle the moon and come back home. The astronauts almost died.

Oh this was unfortunate, so they actually circled the moon ? Actually I know they say that moon is 238,855 away but most level earthers believe it to be about 3,000 miles away, making the moon not that difficult to get there. BTW this is just a thought !

They had to circle the moon to slingshot enough velocity to make it back to earth since doing a u turn was not possible. The moon is over 238,000 miles from earth. It takes a little over 3 days to get there.

Then there was Apollo 13....so what was that all about? So lets create this scam emergency

You think they deliberately planned for something to explode, potentially putting people in danger?

get everybody in the world praying

Have you any evidence that everyone n the world started praying?

and all the while those at mission control were have a great big belly laugh at the world???

Rubbish. Evidence?

If only they knew the guys are safe and sound in the back room acting this out!

They wanted to act out an explosion to deliberately make everyone - including families, children and friends - fearful for their safety?
Evidence?

I think for the reason that everyone from mission control being on camera and you don't see people laughing and smiling should tell you it was all true.

Of course Apollo 13 was true - yet you seem to be saying the opposite.

 

[Strong in Him]

Actually it wasn't me that bought this subject up it was you in post 1,954 & post 1,958.

No, I mentioned flat earth in these posts.
It was you who said that there were two verses in the Bible, "one says a circle and the other a ball." You introduced Isaiah 40:22 and Isaiah 22:18.
I have been asking you the significance of that statement. The Bible "mentions" them - so what? I have also pointed out to you what it means to take part of one verse literally; i.e. you need to take everything else literally too.

You still haven't answered the question; "so what if the Bible "mentions" a circle and a ball?" The Bible mentions many things; nudity, adultery, drunkenness, murder and that some people are stubborn and foolish. I'm sure you'd be the first to say, "just because the Bible mentions foolish people doesn't mean that I am one of them or that my beliefs are wrong."

The moon seems so close, are we sure that the moon is 238,000 miles from earth. 3,000 would seem about right.

Yes. I am sure. If it was 3000 miles away we would all be dead.

And I've explained why to David Lamb.

 

[Apple Sky]

Yes. I am sure. If it was 3000 miles away we would all be dead.

Why would we ?

 

[Strong in Him]

I whole heartily believe this, but in the mean time we must not allow ourselves to be deceived.

About what?
The shape of the earth, and indeed whether the moon landings happened, has nothing at all to do with our relationship with God or our salvation. It doesn't matter what we believe about them - they change nothing.
It wouldn't matter if in 20 years time the whole of NASA said, "you all fell for the moon landings; what suckers!" Nothing would change in our relationship with God. It wouldn't matter if you discovered you had been deceived - it would change nothing.

 

[Strong in Him]

Yes.
And I'd trust scientists over your feelings and "it seems that" any day.

 

[Hentenza]

Why would we ?

The Roche limit, where the moon‘s gravity would be overtaken by the tidal gravity of the earth causing it to disintegrate, is less than 12000 miles. The disintegration of the moon would cause the moon fragments to collide with the earth. You get the picture.

 

[Strong in Him]

And I've explained why to David Lamb.

You said, if I remember correctly, that you wanted to make sure we knew the difference between a circle and a ball.
You haven't explained why you take one of the Isaiah verses literally but not the other one.

She almost certainly doesn't - she doesn't believe in gravity and can't "get her head around" science.

So why is she not floating in space?

ETA: Maybe she should go sit under an apple tree also.

I think her answer would be that it is weight that keeps someone on the ground, or pulls things to the ground when they drop.
(BTW, she doesn't believe in space either).

@Apple Sky

During a lunar eclipse, where the earth passes between the sun and the moon, what shape is the shadow that the earth casts on the moon?

lol. As I grow older I see myself enjoying wasting time in frivolous pursuits like this thread. If anything is entertaining.

But the moon isn't the cause the tides.

 

[Hentenza]

It is. Is like taking two magnets and getting them closer and closer. One influences the surface of the other until at one point the pull of the magnets will draw them to collide with each other.

Unlike you I suppose
