Taking Religious Nonsense to a New Level!

[bagheera]

I was reading up on NASA's Mars missions, specifically articles concerning the possible existence of life on Mars, which led to an article on the UK newspaper site The Times, which led to a comment someone posted about the Apollo 11 lunar landing being fake

Really, I'm not worrying me more, I know we'll see worse things , but, this's hilarious.

Hahaha! Science is completely unrelated to computers, eh? I thought my knowledge of computer science enabled me to create all that software, when it was really my powers of sorcery ;)

The last part of that quote is making the same point I mentioned previously, namely that established scientific theories can become dogma. It wasn't science that held up the Wright brothers, it was accepting current theory without question. When they "started from experiment and experience" they applied the scientific method and made new scientific discoveries.

The remainder of the quote expresses the logical fallacy that all scientific theory must be false dogma. It's not difficult to repeat experiments to confirm many theories, which were based on hypotheses validated by said experiments.
