  Actually, it was an argument based on credibility not authority alone.

  So anyone in the military can be trusted with the truth?
  I don't believe that for a second.

  Have a look at the old moon mission footage.
  Show me when they are actually doing 'something'.

  Lots of skipping around, hitting golf balls, rover 'driving' etc.
  ( carry this to the ISS. Lots of tossing items back and forth, showing off bad hair, squirting water, standing in front of a green screen, etc )

  Tell me. How many moon mission astronauts were high level masons.
  None? Most? All?

  I won't take sides on this one; I think the discussion is interesting in itself.

  "refusing to honestly examine evidence" - Robo

  The evidence that we went to the Moon is overwhelming.

  It is not 'us' that are refusing to honestly examine the evidence. YouTube videos where the uninformed make wild accusations that are easily refuted with even a modicum of knowledge is not evidence that is worthy of a lengthy refutation. It would, however, be a fun distraction if it weren't for the fact that some people actually take this very seriously!

  im not doing the us them thing, theres me and you and this person and that one, everone stands on their own, or falls alone.

  evidence can be overwhelming for 2 opposing ideas, that doesnt make your preferred one actually true. please just acknowledge that.

  evidence is only as strong as your belief and what it means to you.

  so while some nasa images may be overwhelming evidence of satellites snapping pics of a round earth, im a bit more objective when i tell you that the continents are not sized right on one vs the other, and so its overwhelming evidence that nasa doctors pictures and releases them as official satellite imagery. i cant go past that though, it wouldnt be objective or reasonable.

  i dont watch videos like you were referring to and accusations are not necessary, only observation and the ability to objectively analyse what you can see. with those two alone, assuming arent litterally blind, youll be able to figure out what the deal is but if cant be objective, you could just start slinging mud, then you can be comfortable.

  and yes, calling people names and refusing to consider outside evidence is exactly JWish.

  Dont be a JW.

  Satellites can take pictures in all directions. If you compare one that is taken directly below it with one that is taken at an acute angle it will seem different as there is nothing to add a context of size to the picture. That is something better explained by a photographer...

  Lots of things are 'doctored' before being released to the 'masses'. It's known as targeting the audience and applies to everything we do, not just science.
