I am really really shocked by this thread. 6 out of 76 people right now think the fact that man has been to the moon is questionable. That is about 8 percent, a very high percentage.

I better recommend that you go into philosophy a little closer. The question is: Can you only know about facts you experienced yourself?

If you think that is true (which is a completely possible view of things) you better doubt about a lot of things: like the Eiffel tower- do you believe it exists even when you are not in Paris to see it?

Your cat or dog- when it goes under the bed is it still there?

The good old question of Bishop Berkeley: if a tree falls in a forest and there is nobody there to hear it does it make a noise?

Most of us would say yes, it makes a noise. And if we do agree on that we will have to agree about the moon. There is scientific evidence, even if it is not the experience of you personally.

I can understand that in this world where evidence can be manipulated easy technically you want to know more before you agree with something. But then: go on! Read the books, visit the websites, go to the libraries, get as much information as you can and THEN decide.
