Did we land on the moon?

The only thing that really ever made me question the moon landing was how scripted the astronauts dialogue was. "The Eagle has Landed", "A small step for man, a giant leap for mankind". It all sounded like some government pundit penned the whole thing.

I think the Onion's "Holy **** it's the ****ing moon, this is ****ing crazy" would be far more realistic.

I'm pretty sure some government pundit did pen it. IIRC, the whole thing was scripted well beforehand (not the landing, the dialogue).

I'd like to think the landing was scripted and not done on the fly.

The landing was scripted. However the moonscape at the programmed landing site looked bad so Neil had to ad-lib. He moved to the side and then set it down on manual.

Didn't they overshoot aswell?

One thing I would like to know is why are there people that think that the moon landings where faked?

They proved that the Earth wasn't flat. That contradicts the obvious interpretation of BS like:

Isaiah 11:12
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

Ezekiel 7:2
Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

Revelation 7:1
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

Luke 4:5
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

Matthew 4:8
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

Jeremiah 31:37
Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.

What the hell does that have any thing to do with weather or not people think that the moon landings are fake?

He's implying they are religous nuts who don't like anything that contradict their beliefs.

could you send me the list via email or something? you make it sound like it's hillarious...

The people I heard who doubt that the moon landings are fake are not religous nuts, but are the ones who think that the government is involved in a million cover ups, one being that of UFO's. Of course i dont believe that stuff, but I think that most just dont trust the government.

[Dauphin]

I wonder if they believe that UFOs have landed on the moon?

Jack before the Moon landing in 69 I knew a guy in some unusual christian religion or other that was telling me we couldn't go to the Moon because of something in the Bible. This would have been about 1967 or 68. Probably 67. I never knew the religion but it could have been yours. Might have been another but it was definitly not a major group. Could even have been some group never seen outside of California.

I've heard comments that the Koran predicted the fall of civilisation if men walked upon the Moon. Can't remember my source, I think it was Trivial Pursuits.

Because the images from the Moon showed Earth as being a sphere, not flat, and this contradicts some Biblical passages.

There is a Flat Earth Society which promotes this garbage.
