The Religion of Do

7 Now when he saw many of the Pharisees, and of the Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath forewarned you to flee from the anger to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruit worthy amendment of life, 9 And think not to say with yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able even of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also is the axe put to the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Matthew 3:7-10 (1599 Geneva Bible) 

Several years ago I watched a special on the National Geographic Channel about a small group of people who absolutely refuse to believe that NASA landed men on the Moon in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. I graduated from High School in May 1969 and I remember very well watching the lift off of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. I watched the coverage of the mission from end to end. Then several years later when these accusations came out from these skeptics, I was astounded.

The program I watched dealt with each “proof” these fellows had that, in their minds, proved that it was impossible for any manned spacecraft to make the trip to the moon. It was interesting as each of their “proofs” were proven to be simply their assumption about something. They were basing their attacks on invalid or incomplete suppositions. The most telling thing for me, however, was how these fellows never once went to the scientists who were still working with the Moon rocks brought back. They never once approached the scientists who were still working with the experiments left on the Moon by the Astronauts. They never once asked to see the telemetry data that independent scientists all over world used to track the mission. <Continue reading posts>
