I was taught all of the same drivel that you were in public schools and then some. Since you actually did bother to respond to my post anyway I was hoping you would at least provide some evidence or explain why you believe I am wrong other than, "lol u too dumb to understand my scientific mind". If I
am wrong, why do you rather choose to insult me than enlighten me? Maybe it makes you feel better about yourself... I dunno. Who am I to judge?
I wasn't insulting you, I was merely saying that I can't take you seriously after you claimed that the moon landing was faked. Like DD pointed out, there is stuff on the moon that was placed there by humanity and which you can
actually see from Earth. I would say that the likelihood of astronauts actually landing on the moon and putting stuff there is far greater than the likelihood that corrupt governments are perpetrating a mass illusion to fool the entire rest of humanity. Since you were the one who made the extraordinary claim, the burden of proof was on you to demonstrate why you think the moon landing was a load of hooey; it's not on me to prove that you're wrong.

Perhaps you should do your own research without simply relying on what other "scientists" conclude. Can't do that? Then at the very least you should know
how and what kind of
methods these scientists go through to come to their conclusions instead of just taking their word for it and acting like it makes you intelligent. It is no better than a Christian who listens to their pastor's interpretation of the word of God rather than searching themselves.
I don't think I like your implication that I have not looked into this myself. Obviously I am not a career scientist with access to laboratories and equipment and government funding, so I can't exactly "do my own research" in that sense. However, I have read extensively about many aspects of science (both in books published by casual science writers, and in peer-reviewed journals) and feel confident in the conclusions I have drawn. This is how science actually works. If several different people are all able to get the same results, then those results are probably pretty close to the truth. If some evidence comes along to prove that either black holes are nothing like we understand them, or to prove that the moon landings were hoaxes, and that evidence is actually sound, then I will change my viewpoint. Until then, however, I will continue to believe what these scientists have said. I understand full well
how they do things and what their
methods are.

And by the way, I never completely denied the existence of "black holes" or even their presumed function. However, it is unlikely that we will ever truly comprehend the vastness and purpose of the universe. From a biblical perspective (keeping in line with the OP's question), it can be concluded that God created
everything for a purpose including that which is on earth
and the heavens. We will never understand why everything is the way it is, even if we know a little about it.
You may indeed be correct about this. There may be limits to science and the human mind, limits to our understanding that we can never surpass and thus never truly understand the universe for what it is. But I don't think so. I'm optimistic about science and what it has to tell us about the way things are.
