Science deniers. WTF?

The earth is most definitely not flat. Ever tried riding a bike around here!

Yes.

 

[presta]

Is that not, fundamentally, what I said?

You seemed to be suggesting that the solution to the problem is intelligence and/or education. Kahan's work found otherwise, unless we have a way to counter the motives for tribalism, education is likely to exacerbate the problem.

Besides which, if it were flat the cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now. QED.

Later, in 1975 the piece required to allow the two countries to meet in space, just happened to be found laying around in NASA's stores.

That’s not the case. Yes, an Apollo CSM and Saturn rocket was used from the cancelled moon missions, but a new docking adapter had to be designed, built, tested and used. The Soviet Soyuz capsule also had to be redesigned, not least because Apollo used a low pressure oxygen atmosphere and Soyuz a higher pressure air mix.

Well, we're doomed then, no?

It just keeps going, if someone holds one conspiracy true they tend to hold most of the rest as true also.

I actually know a conspiracy theorist.

He's a really nice guy, but

He believes in chem trails and they're to control the population with the drugs they're spitting out (personally I'm not sure what they're trying to control over here in North Wales!)
He doesn't believe we went to the moon and it was all done in the studio
Covid was fake and was to control us (he has no answer to why they stopped doing it if that was the case)
Vaccines don't work
The fact he was really ill for 4 weeks was nothing to do with covid
All banks are owned by the Rothschild family and they also run all the world governments

Basically as soon as he starts up I walk away

You could always offer my theory that God created religion to weed out the boring sods that just agree and never question, so he's not stuck with them for eternity. An omnipotent omniscient is going to want interesting people that challenge him.

They also get all the best musicians and Rock stars, they've now got the best Supergroup known to man, just as long as I get to see them play, that is, so long as the doorman lets me get past the pearly gates that is.

You all sayin' the world ain't flat?

There's always going to be a handful of nutters around. That's life.

The problem is that it's no longer a handful of people....

Actually, when the US astronaouts finally saw the Soyuz capsule for themselves, they were gobsmacked at how basic it was compared to the Apollo one they were flying.

You're a bit late to the party, me old bean... THAT was posted on page 2

I used to work with a guy like that... but throw YEC into the mix and you get statements such as "The pyramids were quite clearly built by giants." and "Carbon dating is a wholly inaccurate pseudo-science." ...oh and "UFOs aren't aliens from another planet, they're demons."

Capricorn One was a film, backed by NASA, to say that "We did go to the moon. However if we didn't/couldn't go, this is how we would have done it instead."

i take it you're a non-believer when it comes to men walking on the moon

cycling round here would dispel that rumour very quickly!
