Moon landings

Have you read any posts I wrote on the thread "the Unevangelized" ?

I think that when you ask questions of me, it is not to understand. Rather it is to display how much you think YOU understand.

I've gotten accustomed to your style - You ask questions to show off how much you think that YOU understand.

Something I certainly do understand is that this stuff you've typed is a lumbering dodge. If this were your own blog, you could just delete my question.

Do you think the evidence that Jesus rose from the dead is stronger and more convincing than the evidence that the Earth is not flat?

Yes.

Do you think that there more evidence that Matthew 27:51-52 is true than there is evidence that the U.S. landed astronauts on the moon?

@divegeester

In 1969 and subsequently, did man land on and walk on the moon. Yes or no?

I told you that I don't know. What's a matter for you ?

I told you that I have some doubts now about what I saw.

Maybe something on the moon happened and we have staged footage. I really don't know.

Then again I was told that Christopher Columbus "discovered" America. God made it. He ought to have known where He put it.

I was also taught that the standard way of swimming with arms out stretch hand over hand and legs kicking was called .... ta'ta! "The American Crawl!"

Since then I think the Phoenicians and the Hittites were probably swimming that way a thousand some years before. But its nice to know it is "the AMERICAN crawl" way of swimming.

Damn are we smart !!

I'm aware you attach more significance to the resurrection of Christ. The question, however, is if the Jonah incident causes you to have some doubts, as you say the moon landing does?

So this girl in science class is learning about whales. The teacher begins to talk about the whales diet when the little girl raised her hand and said, "In the Bible it says Jonah was swallowed by a whale". The atheist teacher then smirked at the child and told the class, "I can assure you, a whales mouth is far too small to swallow a human being". The child then sank into her chair as the teacher continued. Finally getting up enough courage the child raises her hand again. The teacher once again smirked at the child and called on her as she proclaimed, "But the Bible says that Jonah was swallowed by a whale and the Bible is true so I believe it!" The child continued, "In fact, when I get to heaven I'm going to ask Johan all about it". The teacher then asked the child, "And what makes you think Johan went to heaven?" The teacher continued, "If I recall, Jonah did not obey God that well", to which the child responed, "If not, then you can ask him then".

It depends on the species.

Sigh.

It's a joke.

Do you think this story is germane to the discussion?

Did we go to the moon or not?

I know I did.

@divegeester

How can you not know?

Thousands of people were involved, several eyewitnesses. How could it be a conspiracy?

I witnessed some men get into a rocket.
I witnessed this rocket take off.
I witnessed some video footage walking around on a landscape.
I witnessed a vessel plunge into the water and men picked up in a ship.

I also heard a hammer pounding on a piece of metal in outer space where there is suppose to be no sound.
I heard none on the International Space Station when they were running a power tool in space.

I heard the explanation - "The air in the space suit picked up the sound."
Okay, but I also heard the clang of a tool thrown over onto some surface far away from the space suit.

Now you hear sounds in outer space or you do not. Right?

@divegeester

Blessed are they who believe but have not seen.

Hey, its not rocket science you know?
