Hey, No worries. I went looking for something specific on the Apollo lunar landing and couldn't find it, ran out of time and ended up posting that video by default. I thought it was interesting but I wasn't making any claims either way. I was just "putting it out there. As it had received 3 down-votes by morning, I've discarded it. Like I said, I wasn't judging it one way or another. The science tag was because space exploration is based on science and the lies tag was because the video was calling the landing a lie.

I suppose the argument is mute now though, so have a great day!

I'm confused, did you post this and tagged it as lies because you know the whole hoax thing is false, or because you believe it was a hoax and think the landing is a lie?

if you posted this because of the former, then could you please remove it from the science channel?

If you posted because of the latter, are you saying this is bullshit? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_Experiment and since 1969 dozens of astronomers have been in observatories pretending they shoot a laser to the moon and the signal bounces back? really, are you telling me there are scientists wasting their time shooting lasers at the moon and the computers that read the signal lie to them?

Thanks!

Sure, but that does not mean you can automatically assume there is no flaw in your rationale for thinking god does not exist. I was referring to the type of atheist that dont even bother to check if their argument makes sense. They are just atheist for so and so reason, don't even know the history of atheism, etc. The same way a believer claims certainty and they dont even bother to read the bible.

I dont know, to me it feels like atheists dont really need an argument. They are simply not convinced by the arguments of the religious people... Again, the burden of proving something is on the religious people.
Like say someone came to you and said "Santa Claus is real". I dont see how you would suddenly need to prove that he is not real (it would seem impossible). And you dont need to know the history of people who deny Santa is real, you would just need some kind of proof that he is real before you believe it.
Maybe I missed your point.


Yeah, the burden of proof is definitely on them. They are claiming a supernatural being exists, and a whole another range of moral issues, and views of reality come behind it. A lot of conclusions covering everything, and not many reasonable answers.

But santa claus existence does not really affect the way you see reality, and ethics, and yourself. And if you dont buy the bible, they should be able to back it up with proof. But what religion tries to answer is the question of whether something of maximal perfection is out there. if you say you don't think that is the case because you don't buy what the bible is saying, what you are really saying is that you dont believe in the way Christianity is trying to answer that question. But the question can be studied separately from those religious views. And some people never try to while at the same time they claim absolute certainty.

Thanks for the fix! I always feel silly when I promote without checking.

One of the things that makes a site great is when the admins and creators participate and interact on a personal level with the userbase. Not like those sites where the people in charge are these distant, obscure individuals you can never even contact. I think it's pretty awesome you are so involved that you have reached a 500 diamond. Congrats and thanks for everything.

Np. Your sifted bin and pq is full of wonderful/informative things I need to watch in their entirety and upvote. More promotes coming in the future!
