Besides Creationism, look what else Christian textbooks are teaching kids.

[JaneyVee]

WTF?

[Demo_Chris]

1. Is this real? nt

[X_Digger]

33. It appears to be from a South Korean English textbook

[Xipe Totec]

2. weather ... or not? Seriously?

Give the author some GRAMMER points.

[Journeyman]

3. That struck me as more egregious than the skepticism over the Apollo landing. . .

because of course all thinking people know, the Moon landing was filmed on the same sound stage where Watergate was created.

[elehhhhna]

15. I know right????

[Iris]

27. Do you think it's out of context?

Maybe there's another page that sites the error?

[Xipe Totec]

34. To what end?

[zbdent]

4. THE GRAMMAR!!! THE GRAMMAR!!!

Horrors!

[TeamPooka]

5. so much stupid.

[TeamPooka]

6. Nobody knows if George Washington crossed the Delaware.

[Vashta Nerada]

7. The stupid, it burns!

[Bandit]

8. If americans did not go to the moon, how did we get all that cheese to give away during the

Reagan/Bush years.. Answer that one if you can....

[pinboy3niner]

9. Exactly! What other whey curd there be? nt

[Enthusiast]

14. Yeah! The cheese! That proves it!

[politichew]

10. Fundamentally insane. nt

[Lint Head]

11. Some scientist? Really?

[ck4829]

12. Teach the controversy!

[Xipe Totec]

16. Make shit up and call it a controversy. nt

[ck4829]

17. Heh, isn't that what they always do?

[madinmaryland]

21. Rush Limbaugh has been doing that for over 20 years. nt

[Xipe Totec]

23. Apparently it works. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. The word you are using

does not mean what you think it does.

Ah yes, Inigo Montoya comes to mind here.

[napkinz]

13. remember this test?

[Boom Sound 416]

18. I don't buy that

[Boom Sound 416]

19. It is vague

Folks don't doubt Americans landed on the moon, just whether they did the tv broadcast live

[Xipe Totec]

20. Orly? You doubt it was broadcast live?

Based on what evidence?

What specifically was delayed?

And why?

[Boom Sound 416]

24. Throttle back a little

And go for MECO

It's Christmas.

I'll get back to ya

[Boom Sound 416]

35. It's conceivable

No one at nasa or anywhere else wanted a diaster on live tv. Plain and simple.

So, one of two likely option are:

1 - moon landing goes as planned. Astronauts filmed it. Tape delayed broadcast on earth as live tv.

2 - moon landing goes as planned. Astronauts are unable to film/transmit for whatever reasons. Audio is recorded and transmit back to earth. A production is staged exaclty to the audio. Production is broadcast as live tv.

There are some interesting ideas about the inability to operate the cameras on the moon due to the gloves expanding in a vacuum and other space obstacles.

Also, I can't imagine someone at the levers of control thinking, "we are not going to embarrass ourselves in front of the entire world on live tv" and not coming up with some reasonable safeguards to that news.

[Xipe Totec]

36. In other words, you have nothing but speculation.

No facts, no evidence, nada.

A lot of things are conceivable. That does not make them true.

[Boom Sound 416]

37. Their is a very good discovery documentary

If memory serves a discovery documentary about the different problems with the hardware used during the tv transmission, ie gloves in a vacuum, etc.

Sorry, I don't know where to direct you "proof nasa lied to 4 billion people about live vs tape broadcast of the moon landing". But it's probably one click away from whoshotjfkforreals.com

Not surprised you have no interest in a discussion or any considerable discourse on the points of my post.

Good luck!

[madinmaryland]

22. Looks like something you might see in the Creative Speculation Group.

[Douglas Carpenter]

25. I actually met a somewhat wealthy business person in a bar a month or so back who seriously believes

that the moon landing was fake. After I heard him say that and realized that he was serious - I dismissed myself from that conversation - because I felt then that anyone that stupid could not possibly have a legitimate opinion about anything. I mean seriously, that goes way beyond even some far fetched conspiracy theories.

[gollygee]

26. This actually makes sense to me

They're all about making people question science and obvious stuff. The more they get people having stupid questions, the more open to stupid questions they are in general.

[Silent3]

28. Do you have anything on the name of this textbook, the publisher? n/t

[treestar]

29. OK that's weird

Why would they care? You'd think most of them would be on the train of: Amurka got there first, number one!

[sakabatou]

30. Seriously?

Are they seriously telling children to doubt the Moon landing?

[yellowcanine]

31. Teach the controversy!
