ok Jay I will clarify...
your statement and "I find way more probability that the moon landing and some of that crap about men going to the moon to be a lot less likely to be true than the nonsense that is spouted out about the earth being flat
paraphrased....is you believe moon landings are less likely to be true than a flat earth.... amirite?
Nope. Apparently we have a misunderstanding because I was attempting to say the opposite. I was attempting to say that the falseness of the moonlandings would be more likely than the falseness of flat earth theories. Thanks for clarifying and sorry for my ambiguity.
Exactly how am I taking that out of context or misunderstanding you?
Doesn't matter. I am not a flat earther, and if you just take one badly worded statement and try to blow it up rather than clarify, then you just seem to be stirring shit.
Or did you misspeak and actually mean that the moon landings are MORE likely to be true than a flat earth?
That is another way of putting it. Yes.
Your next statement .... quote "By the way, a faking of the moon landing is not even close to the same level of flat earth loony beliefs" unquote ...
is kind of silly because both positions are binary. You either believe men landed on the moon or you don't. and you either believe the earth is flat or not.
I don't think so. It is true that something of the past either happened or it did not happen, but it is not true that a person's belief about something happening is black and white 100%... There is various levels of convincing evidence to make something true in someone's thinking or not, even though the truthfulness of something happening or not may be a lot more concrete. hello? What world do you live in?
There are no levels of lunacy.
we disagree.
Now I suppose you could take the loony position on the one (the moon landings were faked) and the obvious position(the earth is not flat.... duhhh) on the other,
Nothing wrong with taking that position, and who the fuck cares about my opinion anyhow? It does not matter that much in terms of whether the events happened or the phenomenon is true, except if we are connecting such beliefs with something else. There are a whole hell-of-a lot more luny beliefs than mine, so I am comfortable with my current belief situation, while being open to learning, too.
but that would be analogous to a Creationist who believes the Talking Snake, Adam and Eve bible story as totally factual but thinks The Noahs Ark tale is complete bullshit.
Those are decent examples in which there may be truth in some aspects of the stories, but there are also various interpretations too... so yeah, either the snake talked or it did not and either noah's ark happened or it didn't... but the opinions of people are going to vary considerably.... For me, seems like a lot of bullshit in each of those three tales, even though there could be some aspects that are based on some kind of truths of real events (likely stretches of the truth... but whatever).
