  • 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.

Using amazing modern technology, the people on the ISS are posting lots of pictures and messages on social media. I guess Nasa has a huge studio where they fake all these images and videos. Lots of work keeping up such a hoax. Wouldn't it be simpler to just build the ISS in space?

Sorry Morse - just look up in the sky with a telescope, or even a decent pair of binoculars, and you can see it.

There's a page on the NASA website telling you when it will be visible in the sky near you.
Yeah, but what are you going to believe -- your own eyes, or a guy on Youtube? I mean, he's an engineer, after all.

"In her final days as Commander of the International Space Station, Sunita Williams of NASA recorded an extensive tour of the orbital laboratory and downlinked the video on Nov. 18, just hours before she, cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and Flight Engineer Aki Hoshide of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency departed in their Soyuz TMA-25A spacecraft for a landing on the steppe of Kazakhstan. The tour includes scenes of each of the station's modules and research facilities with a running narrative by Williams of the work that has taken place and which is ongoing aboard the orbital outpost." --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iY2b2APouQA

[snark]This video is such an obvious fake![/snark]

Hmm... I notice a lack of creationists calling this guy on his nonsense.

Well AV thinks that anyone who is against evolution is fine in his book.

Even though he makes tons of threads to argue against all of the other things this guy says, but blames them on "scientists" who are trying to take potshots at the Bible.

Ha, I can top that. The entire Internet is FAKE.

Yup, that's right.... you think you are using the internet right now, but you really aren't!

The whole idea is just ridiculous. Millions of people posting whatever they want on so-called "servers" all over the world?? C'mon, people!

Always funny to see how the conspiracy nuts can claim that more or less the entire scientific community in the whole world are in on the coverup, and still no one leaks, not even when the conspiracy has been going on for decades.

And on top of which, they are the ones who figured out the scam -- a very fine example of Dunning-Kruger.

They claim that people did leak the "truth" and that's how they know it, but those people are unfairly marginalized as cranks (despite the fact that they have no evidence for their claims about conspiracies).

Their arm movements. When you are weightless any movement of your body will make your whole body move.


Did you actually watch the first video or what?!?!?!? What about caddy when she is just standing there....and start floating sideways rapidly?

Nice try though.
