You sure they didn't mean the moon landing? Because i can't imagine someone thinking the moon doesn't exist. Unless they are batshit insane.

No, there are people who believe the moon isn't real, unfortunately.

None of you have heard Deepak Chopra on the subject of the moon, have you?

1:28-2:10. Ignore the rest, it's filled with a woman talking a lot while saying nothing at all.

I love his argument here.

:

You can see it. But think about it – without the help of so-called "experts", how do you really know what you’re looking at? It could be a hologram, projected from various government installations throughout the world. It could be a large, crudely painted balloon, held in place by helium and propelled by tiny sails and rudders (which is why it moves across the sky so slowly). Or, most likely, it could have been different things at different times and different places, depending on the technology available to the conspirators and the culture and beliefs of the population being deceived.
The hoax could easily have been imposed on a gullible world at many points in human history. Perhaps it began as a collective hallucination or a religious myth, or perhaps an especially bright star that came to be exaggerated over time. However the moon story started, early proponents of the hoax were swift to recognize how it could be exploited for their benefit, and shrewdly devised a scheme to use it to their advantage.

They began to spread rumors, falsify scientific observations, and invent new gods to represent this fictional celestial body. They ingeniously concocted the idea of "cycles of the moon", and as their resources increased, were able to create the illusion that this object in the sky actually went through such changes. To make their hoax more plausible to early, superstitious societies, they arranged for these cycles to coincide with the months of the year.
I still don't believe that this person really thinks this. This must be a joke.

If there is a crazy belief, someone believes in it.

I always suspected the Freemasons had complete control of oceanic currents, but I could never explain away that whole moon/tide thing... throw in the Jews and Lemurians, and it makes total sense. Too bad the Bush administration already planted the evidence on the gays.
