Is all evidence equal? Just because someone says something, and it appears to make a bit sense on the surface, does that mean it's valid scientific evidence? Are there standards for saying that something is scientifically valid...or can one just say anything is valid because they believe it to be so?

Thinking about all this, I've come to the conclusion that perhaps the moon doesn't exist at all! Now, don't laugh...there's a great deal of evidence indicating that this is the absolute truth.

Just looking at the mathematics involved alone makes it very clear that the moon simply cannot be!

QUOTE
Mathematical impossibilities
Another impossibility that has always been an embarrassment to the scientific establishment is the obvious fact that an object as heavy as the moon, caught in the earth’s gravity, would inevitably come crashing down upon us at immense speeds. Responses to this argument from the Lunarists have always been weak, and always couched in that scientific newspeak designed to confuse the sincere questioner without actually saying anything.
The establishment most often cites the work of Isaac Newton in support of its story. Newton is well known for coming up with entirely theoretical notions such as the Law of Universal Gravitation, and his more famous Laws of Motion which serve to gloss over the more obvious inconsistencies in the moon story. What he is less known for is his "extra-curricular" pursuits, which he kept quite secret during his lifetime but which have since been uncovered. Newton was a dominating figure in the Royal Society, a fellowship riddled with members of the various secret societies whose goal to dominate the world has already been outlined. Newton himself possessed copies of Rosicrucian manifestos, and, as is evident in his notes, had studied them thoroughly. Many of his biographers suspect that he shared the religious beliefs of many of his colleagues. It does not take a genius to conclude that these beliefs may have influenced his scientific reasoning.

This is, of course, the reason why revisionists are excluded from academic institutions. The majority of scientists and professors of most universities are members of organizations such as these, as are most of the scientists who work for NASA. Those that are not realize that their livelihood depends on towing the establishment line, and therefore only a few have had the courage to speak out.

However, eminent scientists, working in defiance of the establishment, have proven conclusively, using the most scrupulous methods, that if an object such as the moon really existed, it could not remain fixed in the sky for very long. Proactive arguments in support of this finding return to a closer examination of the original mathematical formula generally referenced when rallying to solidify the moon’s improbable existence:

F = GMm/r2
Where F = gravitational attraction
G = the gravitational constant
M = mass of one body
m = mass of the second body
r = distance between the two bodies
Established by Newton himself, this numerical gem is based completely on the assumption that the moon travels in concentric circles around our planet. F (the gravitational attraction holding the moon to its "true" path) requires that r (the distance between the two celestial bodies) remains constant. Should the distance, r, decrease at any given moment, the gravitational force will increase in strength. When this event occurs the moon will be pulled towards this planet. According to Newton’s theory that a body set in motion remains in motion, such an incident would initiate a logical series of events with a singular chaotic result: propagated drawing of satellite to planet until the two massive bodies collide.

However, even the most fanatical Lunarists no longer cling to the absurd notion that objects in the solar system travel in concentric circles. These so-called "scientists" have changed their story so many times, who knows what to believe anymore? The currently fashionable dogma is that the route followed by celestial bodies is not circular but a concave oval with the origin point at the centre (in the case of the earth, the sun; in the case of the moon, the earth) followed by a spiraling series of pathways. Thus, the moon is not maintaining a constant distance from our planet. Our orbiting satellite is forever oscillating towards us, drawing near then distant, in a continuous cycle. Each successive approach brings this massive wonder closer to our midst.

In other words, the moon does indeed alter its distance from the earth. So why is it not widespread knowledge that the end – mathematically predicated BY NEWTON’S OWN FORMULA - has been anticipated and is drawing near? Due to some irrational explanation the moon has managed to defy those very laws of physics that were originally developed to justify its existence

Who says the moon is heavy? Nobody knows the weight of the moon, and if you're talking about calculations based on it's size, that doesn't stand up if the moon is hollow as some people claim.

And it's slightly off-topic, but I recommend you read "Who built the moon?". thumbsup.gif

I agree. Its quite obvious that the moon cannot and does not exit. There is no reeal evidence that it does. There IS evidence of it being a "stageing center" for government mind control. All the "scientic evidence" that states it exists is simply government spin and disinfo. The truth is right there in front of everyones eyes. Stop being sheeple and accept that your government has been lying to you.

QUOTE
"No photographs were ever taken of the moon until the 1850’s. Photographs such as this one, taken in 1852 by John Adams Whipple at the Harvard College Observatory, have been cited by Lunarists as proof of the existence of the moon. But considering the poor quality of the picture, this object could be anything, from an unusually round rock on a dark surface to someone’s bald head. We still require the help of self-appointed "experts" to tell us just what we’re looking at.

There were no pictures of the alleged "far side of the moon" until revisionist research pressured the Lunar conspiracy to fabricate one in 1959. This picture was allegedly taken by the Soviet satellite Lunik III. Note that these are the same Soviets who massacred 4,000 Polish officers in the Katyn forest in 1940, then tried to blame the atrocity on the Germans at Nuremberg. Surely if the moon story had any truth to it whatsoever, the conspirators could have found a more credible source."

I think you are missing the point of this site frogfish. It is, I suspect, a tongue in cheek dig at conspiracy theorist who will ignore all the evidence before them.

Their belief that governments are lying to them is so strong that they stop being sceptical and start becoming un-questioning followers of the belief. Meanwhile they start accusing all those that disagree with them of being mindless sheep.

The evidence given by this site is, clearly nonsense, in that way it does not differ from many, many conspiracy sites. As an example of how "facts" can be distorted and presented to support a ridiculous case this site is a worthwhile exercise in critical thinking.

This is the way of the cult, see only that which supports your belief how ever weak the evidence, ignore that which does not however strong. Many of the major conspiracy theories which now exist are indistinguishable from fundamentalist religion.

I believe we have already concluded on this scientific research web site of UM that the moon landing was a perpetrated hoax the evidence was insurmountable. Although there remain a few skeptics that have not been indoctrinated into the truth, without naming them (Ol waspie, Mako, Zandor, Saruman ).
We thus must explain what is this beacon of the sky truly is, so that lovers may return to worship in the country back lanes of this world. Hold on to your seats I have found the answers in another thread.
The atmosphere of the earth acts as a giant lens to our view of the stars and therefore we can safely assume that the moon is only a dust reflecting orb of immense proportions.
Ok now we have that out of the way we shall deal with the Kennedy assassinations……………………..

Ah, but how do you really know it's "right there in the sky"?

QUOTE
You can see it. But think about it – without the help of so-called "experts", how do you really know what you’re looking at? It could be a hologram, projected from various government installations throughout the world. It could be a large, crudely painted balloon, held in place by helium and propelled by tiny sails and rudders (which is why it moves across the sky so slowly). Or, most likely, it could have been different things at different times and different places, depending on the technology available to the conspirators and the culture and beliefs of the population being deceived.

Ah yes, the tides....there's an answer for this as well!

QUOTE
The clouds are considerably closer to the moon, and much lighter than the oceans. One would imagine that if the moon had the power to raise the oceans, this same force would cause the clouds to go flying into space, yet this does not happen. This proves that the tides story is physically impossible.

Real scientists are busy researching the TRUE causes of the tides. But until their findings are made public, we can take this as merely another pseudo-scientific moon myth, shattered by the scholarship of revisionists.

Of course you can see it...but exactly *what* are you seeing? There's all of this evidence indicating that you're not seeing what you think you're seeing, that it's simply one great big conspiracy perpetrated throughout history!

QUOTE
But who could or would perpetrate such a hoax? Although it is impossible to fully fathom the depth of the deception without further research, the primary culprits are easy to spot. First of all, the various secret societies and religious orders to which the scientists responsible for propagating the moon hoax have belonged from the beginning. One can easily trace the history of this deception through the Templars, the Rosicrucians, the Illuminati and the Masons, by way of the various scientists – from Ptolmy to Copernicus to Newton – whose "observations" have been vital toward putting a scholarly veneer to the moon myth. To this day, universities and government agencies such as NASA are full of "scientists" of this kind.

However, responsibility cannot go solely to academic scientists who initiated the hoax, nor to the organizations to which they belong which have sought to use this deception in their struggle for world domination. Many other governments and institutions have been co-opted over the years, to the point where, today, belief in the moon is so nearly universal that it holds incredible sway over public opinion in our country

Excellent question, for the answer I refer you to this area where moon hoax supporters voice their evidence. This learned gentleman writes in:

QUOTE
The greatest argument used by the moon hoaxers is that "you can see it."

However, that is also their undoing. The moon is often visible during the day, when the sun is out. The sun is so bright that you cannot even see stars during the day. And the stars generate their own light! As anyone can see at night, the moon, though larger, does not shine as brightly as the stars. So if the moon is a celestial body as they claim, it could only be seen when the stars are seen first. Yet the moon can be seen in the day
as well as the night. Clearly it must exist within our atmosphere, just like its neighbours, the clouds..


Be sure you check out these other compelling topic arguments that show the "moon hoax" to be valid:

QUOTE

There was no moon in ancient times

The argument from evolution

"Lunatics"

Venus

Source of the myth

The Bible

The rise in belief in the moon

The modern religion


The evidence is literally overwhelming here, folks! How can anyone say this is a "ridiculous thread"? As for the idea that the moon is made of cheese...that's actually very possible as well! The idea of a "cheese" based moon fits in nicely to support the moon's unatural/hoaxed origins.

Think folks...don't be sheeple...don't be punked!

There is enough evidence both ways, but most importantly is the fact that the moon is only mentioned in fairly modern times.
And being able to see it means nothing to me, I've seen lots of things that werent there.
that is an area that is easily manipulated.

Consider holographic technology then think about the fact that there are three differant types of technology available.
1) common tech that the population has access to .
2) Military tech that we dont have access to.
3) Technology that only the top people get to hear about.
It is said that military technology advances 100years every year. That is quite a progress rate.

People could argue this argument until they are blue in the face, the fact of the matter is that unless I can touch it, I dont have to believe in it.

Well, you don't *have* to believe in anything if taken to the extreme. But, is touch the only form of evidence you accept? Now, I've never been to China, but I accept that China exists. I have a feeling that you accept other forms of evidence (beyond touch) in your daily life. It would be pretty difficult to even function without some criteria of "reality acceptance" beyond that of touch. Example, I've never been to John Hopkins University, but my doctor's diploma was issued from this institution. I'm strongly inclined to think that John Hopkins is a *real* University!

Ah yes, a way around any deception or lies. A way to look at things in a manner that's unprejudiced, a way where someone does not have to believe any given researchers, a way where someone can redo the experiments and determine whether his/her results are true or false. Something that would be self- policing by it's very nature. Is this what you're getting at?

The conclusions arrived to in this manner would be irrespective of the state of mind, or the religious persuasion, or the state of consciousness of any investigator! This would be a way to at least approach (as close as we possibly can) the truth as we know it. But, by what method could we hope to achieve this lofty goal?

I think you are missing the point of this site frogfish. It is, I suspect, a tongue in cheek dig at conspiracy theorist who will ignore all the evidence before them.

Their belief that governments are lying to them is so strong that they stop being sceptical and start becoming un-questioning followers of the belief. Meanwhile they start accusing all those that disagree with them of being mindless sheep.

The evidence given by this site is, clearly nonsense, in that way it does not differ from many, many conspiracy sites. As an example of how "facts" can be distorted and presented to support a ridiculous case this site is a worthwhile exercise in critical thinking.

This is the way of the cult, see only that which supports your belief how ever weak the evidence, ignore that which does not however strong. Many of the major conspiracy theories which now exist are indistinguishable from fundamentalist religion.


I took a look at the original link. Pretty funny, and yes I do see the similarity to other conspiracies, like 9/11. Funny how they even have a reward for someone with proof.

I just have to answer your attempt to classify all people who believe in conspiracies as blindly following the cult leader who came up with the theory. BS

I have to go into a meeting in 5 minutes so I don't have time to expand on this, but it goes like this.

Everytime we find conflicting evidence, we say the government is lying. The government then changes it's story, but the conclusion stays the same. No matter how many times we can prove teh government is lying, it doesn't matter, because people don't think the government could get away with lying to them.

Conspiricies don't normally involve science like this moon theory, it usually involves political events. The politicians can limit the conclusion of the scientific community by limiting the evidence they are allowed to view and measure empiracally.

Well this thread has already made it's point on the first page, and the rest is people arguing about somthing they believe to be false, but are doing it just for fun. What a way to spend the day. wacko.gif

I did no such thing. Read the quote from my post again. I said "many", not "all".

I do not dismiss all conspiracy theories, as I accept that governments cover things up and lie. However the same is also true of some (maybe many) of those who spread some of these conspiracy theories in the first place.

How many conspiracy theories are laid out in books which the originator makes money from? I question what many of these people are in it for, spreading the truth or lining their pockets?

Some (many?) of those who consider themselves sceptics are, in fact, no such thing. A sceptic questions accepted beliefs. Many of the conspiracy theorists do not question at all. They reject the accepted beliefs out of hand whilst accepting, without question, a new set of beliefs. In this way some of the believers become indistinguishable from the followers of a cult.
