July 20th 1969 Moon landing
#64
It's good to have a degree of skepticism. It's the underlying mentality of any good scientist. I generally approach everything I don't have first hand experience with the same mindset. It's why I usually hesitate to get into debates about things that I know little about. One might argue a topic from the point of common sense but unless you've actually investigated something with a measure of rigor it would be easy to draw misleading conclusions.

Moon hoaxers view their subject from similar angles as global warming hoaxers view theirs. Both subjects require a good deal of faith in the sources providing the information to be comfortable with them. In either case, it's healthy to question and ask for evidence because both topics are opaque due to remoteness and complexity. If the subjects are important enough to you to have a strong opinion either way then you ought to build a body of evidence that you would make decisions upon. If you've never actually explored a topic rigorously and you are determined to do so it would behoove you to dismiss your preconceptions and try and investigate the topic with no biases towards a particular conclusion. You should force yourself to argue a piece of evidence from all points of view before making your mind up.

In the case of the moon landing I don't particularly care enough to explore it rigorously beyond what my personal experience has revealed to me.
