Yet it worked successfully the [b] first time it went 234,000 miles away on the Moon.
And five more times without a glitch, each time with two cheery human beings inside.[/b]

So depressing...
I promise.
Otherwise, a public broadcasting of humans landing successfully ALIVE on the moon costing millions and millions in an un-successfuly tested machine ? Hey, that is a miracle in American society.
Ghost, I am not beyond debunking on this, IF ... I am wrong.

You simply asserting that your superstitions are "true" does not make them "universal" in any sense other than a subjective one, no matter how much you gird your ideological loins with adjectives brandishing your personal certainty. Your beliefs and my beliefs about the supernatural dimension do not rise much above the rank of conjecture and opinions, If you wan ...[text shortened]... to be somehow true for everyone, and that helps you lead your life - then, good for you.
Originally posted by FetchmyjunkMy beliefs about the supernatural dimension make sense to me. Your beliefs about it do not seem credible to me. I see no point in either of us pretending that what we believe is certainly, absolutely, objectively, and universally "true" and credible to everyone else and insisting it is so. That's why I don't. You, on the other hand, feel the need to.

FMF: Give me a scenario. I've never seen or experienced a miracle.You are touting the moon landing as an example of a miracle?

1. What exactly are your beliefs about the supernatural dimension that make sense to you?
2. Do you think your beliefs are true?

I am not talking about pretending anything. I am talking about the conviction of your beliefs being true. Do you have any conviction that your beliefs are true? I have never claimed that my beliefs are credible to everyone, I believe they are true, whether other people believe in them or not.
