Is There Really a Moon?

[kerberus]

If you keep asking questions like the one about the tides, you're going to get a visit in the middle of the night from the agency. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Not to mention millions of people and generations of them sharing exactly the same hallucination. Guess thats the real reason for the term lunatics. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><strong>My borrowed quote for the time being:</strong></p><p><em>There are three kinds of people in life. Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen...and those who do not know what happened.</em></p> </div>

<font color="yellow">That brings another question to mind. How the heck does that projection influence the tides? That's a trick I'd like to know. </font><br /><br />Ah. See? Now you have made the common mistake of Scientism. You unquestionly assume tides are a result of science because some book told you that everything is a result of science. Rather than ask what scientific explanation, ask yourself how far the scientists would go to perpetuate the myth of scientism.<br /><br />Read my lips. An Intelligent Director did it. Basically it shows how big he is. No freaky forces at a distance. The moon is simply a construct of atheists to impose a westernised purely cultural explanation for the tides on the world in general.

"And of course, those 16th and 17th Century astronomical observations and sketches of the then-nonexistent Moon were lies. "<br /><br />Aaaahh, but this is where you missed another wonderful piece of writing provided by the link:<br /><br />"Astronomers are crooks and crazies, ghoulish wretches pulling the wool over the eyes of the public, and then choking the public with the same piece of wool. My boy, there is a special circle of hell reserved for astronomers, I will tell you that much. They make me sick, the lab-coated slime who peer into their little toys and croak their gibberish: ‘Look, a Quasar’, or ‘Ahh, a Supernova!’. Utter nonsense. They should be publicly beaten and p... uponâ€<br /><br />I guess 90% of us on this site are amateur astronomers at more or less degree: so Hell, here we come ! <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br />

After all, the "ocean" is a real natural body of water, right?<br /><br />Wrong. The oceans are created by the American government just before World War I to prevent the Germans from invading.<br /><br />So, how do the tides work? R.E.M. provided the answer in the song "Day sleeper". People believed R.E.M. were just being creative and singing about nonsense nobody could understand. But they are actually whistleblowers.<br /><br /><i>"The ocean machine is set to 9..."</i><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff9900">----------------------------------</font></p><p><font color="#ff9900">My minds have many opinions</font></p> </div>

Given the Moon is a projection from the Nevada Desert,<br />AND given that the properties of light require a massive gravity source to even slightly bend its trajectory, THEN:<br />How would the Moon be visible on the other side of the Earth?<br />To not be influenced by the horizon, there would need to be 3 equally spaced indipendantly operated projectors to be successful

 

[Mee_n_Mac]

Well as I said above, the Nevada desert location has got to be disinformation. It's Santa I tell ya, Santa. <br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask not what your Forum Software can do do on you,</font></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask it to, please for the love of all that's Holy, <strong>STOP</strong> !</font></p> </div>

If Earth weren't a sphere, then Amelia Earhart wouldn't have been able to fly all the way around it (OOOOOPS)<br />:-0

I don't know if I can refute it but this might be of interest.<br /><br />http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/01/0124_060124_moon.html<br /><br />It's there all right, and we might be one continent agian.<br />

Look! the moon!<br /><br /><i>Drags China slightly closer while no one is watching...</i>

 

[Mee_n_Mac]

What Moon ? That projection ?<br /><br />Dragging China, ha !

There is no moon, and I am a fricken ****** that believes the same.

 

[Mee_n_Mac]

You know that thing people call tides that the <i>Moonists</i> claim is caused by the "moon" .... well I'm here to tell ya it's really a bunch of trained whales. Yup, whales. We've seen whales blow water out of their blowholes so it only makes sense that they must take in that water. So in goes the water and the so called "tide goes out" because of the reduction of water in the ocean. When the whales blow out ... the "tide" comes back in. Just need a bunch of them acting in unison ... like trained whales would do. <br /><br /> Also ponder this, ever seen a "tide" on a lake or pond ? No you haven't. Ever seen a whale in a lake or pond ? No you haven't. Coincidence ... I think not.<br /><br />Trained whales I tell ya. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask not what your Forum Software can do do on you,</font></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask it to, please for the love of all that's Holy, <strong>STOP</strong> !</font></p> </div>

Actually, I <i>have</i> seen small tides in lakes and ponds. That can only mean...<br /><br />...there's a secret race of tiny Whales living in our minor bodies of water.<br /><br />[The next thing you know, one of you will be telling me that we actually landed on the moon or something!] <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>
