Another look at the moon landing.

Why is it ?

@Hentenza , who is an engineer, told you that your maths didn't work.
In reply, you insulted him. (yes, I know you apologized; nevertheless, that was your 1st response.)

You should have ordered this one.

Comparison with Young Earth Creationism​

In contrast, some belief systems, such as Young Earth Creationism, assert that the Earth is only 6,000 to 10,000 years old. This view is based on literal interpretations of religious texts, particularly the Bible. However, this perspective contradicts established scientific evidence and is not supported by the broader scientific community.

I believe this one, when I hear of the earth being billions of years old I just stop reading or switch it off. Such nonsense!

I know but a sextant used with basic trigonometry works.

Conspiracy theories on the other hand leads to absurdity.

There are loads of conspiracy theories that have turned out to be true.

Well, none of the astronauts that went to the moon developed illnesses consistent with radiation exposure nor any one of them suffered an early death because of it.

That's because they never went.

Well that's it, isn't it?
The bottom line in all of these many threads and thousands of posts is that you believe only people/facts/scientists/books that back your beliefs. Everyone else - educated, knowledgeable, scientific people, some of whom are born again Christians - is lying.
You even interpret the Bible in such a way that it fits with your beliefs. And anyone who disagrees doesn't have the truth, doesn't believe God's word, "can't" believe Genesis or they would know the moon landings were impossible(!) or will be in trouble one day when "it all comes tumbling down (though you can't explain how.)

Never was the phrase "I've made up my mind, don't confuse me with the facts" more accurate.

 

[Strong in Him]

That's because they never went.

You know they did; you once said so and said 'sorry' to God for doubting.

A sexton? How would a bell-ringer/grave-digger help calculate it.

 

[Strong in Him]

A sexTON is someone who has a certain job in a church.

Do you mean unavailable in your area.

When I clicked on your linked it stated that this book was unavailable & only available on Kindle.

A sextant is used to get elevation angles. You can't use it for what you claim. All you have done is demonstrate how foolish and ignorant you are.

AI overview.

A sextant is primarily used to measure the angle between the horizon and a celestial body, which is the angle of elevation. It can also be used to measure the angle between two terrestrial objects for horizontal positioning or to find the angle of depression to an object below the horizon.

Is that not an elevation angle?

Angle, not distance, between them.

Facts my dear. Your conspiracy theories are the fairy tales.

 

[Apple Sky]

Yes & by this elevated angle they are able through trigonometry to work out the distant of the sun.

Wrong, there's loads that have turned out to be true.

Wrong, there's loads that have turned out to be true.

But not this one.

Not the ones that you are espousing in this tread.
