if we can go to mars why can't we go to the moon?

Yes, we can build rockets.
Yes, We can build space stations and space craft that can reach them.
Yes, we can land things on the moon.
Guess what. If you add that all together, what do you get?
A moon landing or six, 40 years ago.

"I'm not going to present evidence because even if it's true you'll debunk it with your scientific jargon, it's what you do with any credible evidence for ID."
That's because there is no credible evidence for ID.
Also, what the fuck does that have to do with NASA sending men to the moon? o_O

So you assume that, after assessing the evidence and arriving at a different conclusion from you, we are all brainwashed? Bit of an arrogant jerk ain't ya?

"Yeah, those uppity fuckers obscurin' the truth with their 'reason' and 'proof' and 'evidence' for stuff 'cos they need to 'accurately understand the world around them' and all that other 'science' bullshit. I mean, if I can't understand it, it's gotta be a conspiracy to keep us from figuring it all out, right?"

No, you're not going to present evidence because there is no evidence to support that claim. All of it has been so thoroughly debunked that you have to completely ignore reality to believe it. Then again, you believe in intelligent design, too, so you're probably used to it by now.

How did we get the minerals without sending man to the moon? We can't have brought them back; we don't have the tech to rig up unmanned return trips.

GodotisWaiting4U said "How did we get the minerals without sending man to the moon? We can't have brought them back; we don't have the tech to rig up unmanned return trips."
Well... actually we do (or at least did) have the tech to do this. Specifically, the Russians sent an unmanned probe to retrieve some lunar material. What we *didn't* have is the tech to send an unmanned probe and return with *as much* lunar material as the Apollo missions did.

"What I do doubt is that NASA has sent man to the moon"
Curious, isn't it, how the whole 'Man DIDN'T go to the Moon' conspiracy theory came after the release of the film "Capricorn One" in 1978, just nine years after Neil Armstrong's 'One Small Step For Man', eh? VERY curious...!
But then, that's 'Conspiracy Theories' for you. They're like a house of cards. Elaborately constructed. Looks pretty. But when you look at them REALLY close, they collapse.
IN this case, just ONE word can completely destroy this one:
Reflectors.
http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEhelp/ApolloLaser.html
Devices placed there by astronauts on at least two of the Apollo missions, so that scientists/astronomers on Earth with lasers could precisely measure the distance between us & the Moon at any time. Measurements that are still performed to this day.
No remote rover (Sojourner, Spirit, Opportunity) today could accurately place such devices, so how could they have been put there in 1969? Firing/dropping from orbital satellites was out of the question too. So, tinfoil hat-wearers, ask yourselves THIS question: If man DIDN'T go to the Moon (and the remote technology didn't exist then), how did those reflectors GET there?!
Even with the evidence presented, I know you'll dismiss it because even now I've proved it's fact you'll reject it with your conspiracy theorist tin (ass)hattery & pseudo-science jargon
I've been on this planet long enough to be cautious of you & your CT ilk, and what I'm really trying to do is get those who have questioned scientific fact before to check it out for themselves and make up their minds on the matter.. de-brainwash their heavily brainwashed minds so to speak if they want to.

Really?!! Sounds like you should question the authority of the Bible if you're going to bring up ID.

And once again, the saying "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink" rings so fucking true it hurts.
On the other hand, my spleens hurts because I'm laughing over the fact that they are still trying to deny this shit.

badastronomy.com has a few things to say about this stupidity. But of course, it would all just be a bunch of silly scientific facts, so nevermind.

I'm so sick of this bullshit. This guy says that people have gotten 10,000 kilometres into space, but not 300,000? Then he goes ahead and says there's evidence for his crazy claims, but refuses to present it.
The ID analogy is appropriate, because they admit evolution happens on a small scale but doesn't on a larger scale, yet they don't have good evidence for it.

This one just cracked me up.
I just loved the section I bolded in the submission. This Olivier dude is pretty "smart".

Have you ever seen the space station except in photos? How do you know it really exists?
Oliver, scepticism and doubt must be applied intelligently and with forethought. Then you must focus and study of all facts and evidence to relieve them. Otherwise, you're just spinning your wheels.

As everyone knows, presenting evidence is the most efficient form of brainwashing.

Yes, that pesky 'evidence' just refuses to stand up to the harsh light of reality, doesn't it? Good thing you won't present it, when sites like
this one can so easily tear it to atoms.
Then there's NASA's Lunar Reconaissance Orbiter (LRO) in place around the Moon, mapping its surface. Guess what it's photographed? (Hint - try "All the
Apollo hardware and equipment, exactly where they should be on the Moon's surface.")
Sorry, but we really can call checkmate on this one.

Trying to get people to believe in the moon conspiricy on the Richard Dawkins forums? That takes balls. Stupidity, and balls.
