Do you really think lunar landing conspiracy theorists are going to "revolutionize our understanding of the universe"?
There is room for subtly in these arguments, it is not an all or nothing proposition of listen to everyone, or listen to no one.
- WalterBright 6y ago> Do you really think lunar landing conspiracy theorists are going to "revolutionize our understanding of the universe"? No. But just be aware that ideas people laughed at as clearly wrong and absurd have sometimes turned out to be the truth. Some examples: 1. heliocentric solar system 2. evolution 3. Titanic breaking in half on the surface 4. quantum mechanics 5. all men are created equal
