RobinHez:
I'm not disputing the facts that there could be life outside earth, but my topic was 'why i dont buy the stories we're making up about it' we should come up with relevant evidence as with all scientific research or we mind our business here on earth.

If you are referring to UFO stories and alien conspiracy theories, i don't buy that crap too until we get a confirmed alien visit. . . But just as ITbomb pointed out, Alien existence is a sure thing. . being alone is this vast universe is near to impossible

I would....nd i'm sure some others too even the oyibo peeps will also...(my blog is a testimony to that)

Ok i will see to that then but just for the record am not a phone guru, dont really know how open a blog

ermmm...i wouldnt like to bring religion into this thread.
but just understand that the spiritual controls the physical...

Lol. .just to be fair, define spiritual. . . so we can grasp the exact notion you take it to imply

can u come and share some ideas here for me https://www.nairaland.com/2367714/why-dont-buy-alien-story

wow! johnydon22 e be like say u don dey rehearse since for my questions, anyways good one.

3. Who filmed Neil Armstrong stepping onto the Moon?

This is a funny question by the theorists. .

If you watch the real video of the moon landing here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMINSD7MmT4&feature=youtube_gdata_player, you will see that the camera that filmed Armstrong was at the side and close. . .

who was supposed to ask that question knowing Apollo16 had cameras on it... THE VIDEO OF ARMSTRONG CLIMBING DOWN WAS TAKEN BY A CAMERA SITUATED AT THE SIDE OF THE CRAFT APOLLO 16
Leme post a picture of the real footage of armstrong climbing down the ladder and also the apollo 16 space craft..

This is the first time I'm quoting like this. Seems elaborate.
Actually, I think we can surpass that height. In fact, we can surpass seven foot. The height at which the young's modulus of the human bones fail to provide proper support starts at about eight feet.
Two hundred thousand years ago . . . The smartest person in the world was probably the one who discovered fire. He must have felt really proud of himself.
Given enough time, I believe our offsprings can come to think of us as extremely primitive and really dumb. My reason being natural evolution and the fact that science is now trying ti merge man with machine. So, in the future, a child would have a brain, hooked up to a complex super computer that would solve all his problems and upload the answers to his brain., it is possible, is it not?

Fire guy thing made me agree with this, but one problem, if it becomes computerized asin computer beings responsible for uploading this knowledge, it will no longer be a biological phenomena, the smartness will then be as a result of artificial upload of knowledge by a machine into the brain

what? He lived that long?
Well, I wouldn't want to live forever either. But I would like to live very long, just to see new tech and stuff. I know the Russian guy. He should be quick abeg.

Hehehehe am not sure if this can be done, life and death negates each other and are dependent for meaning, without death how do we recognize life. . . and again population control will be history, over population and shortage of food and other materials we would probably then need to move some people to other planets.

here too, I was referring to binding man and machine. With exoskeletons and/or implants. I do believe we can do it.

With this then it is no longer a biological evolution

I agree with this,

Of course. In fact, in future, they may be able to make sounds our current vocal system cannot make. And yes, we need to think about the planet. Although, we might eventually colonize other planets. I think the movie, star wars is a very accurate depiction of how the future is moist likely to be. Have you watched it?

Yeah probably need to see it again. . but have heard of plans to colonized Mars. .Mission MarOne. .i follow them on twitter too, they hope to send an unmanned craft to Mars by 2019 and a Manned mission by 2025. . google it up, i think i once opened a thread on that sometime ago here https://www.nairaland.com/2201801/possibilities-mars-colonization we can discuss that too

exactly what I had in mind. Genetic engineering. Also, prosthetics.

Right on spot

2. There where no stars in any of the footage
@johnydon22

[b] Another good question grin

First we must note the working mechanisms of a camera. . . Images are formed as a result of light taking it to the lens right and the eyes uses this same mechanism. .

Now the moon and the earth deal with light differently. . . you sure do not the moon reflects the light from the sun. . . the amount of sun light that hits the moon at a constant basics are same with the amount of sunlight that hits earth at a bright sunny day.

The bright light of the sun at this space zone within the earth and the moon is very bright enough that the dim spot lights from the stars to reach the camera, so practically the lights from these dim stars required to be carried to the camera lens to gain an imagery are not transported due to the stronger light rays within the region. . only a powerful ultra violet camera can archive this feat on the surface of the moon. the moon being a non-luminous object but reflects the light of the sun and appear luminous. . . If you have ever notice even on earth stars seem to be more visible on a heavy dark night than one in fairly lit city.

Other space pictures taken within this region with 70mm cameras also recorded no stars too.

I will post a HD picture of shuttle taken pictures of ISS and the earth and an astronaut on a space walk, try and find a star lets see. . and also an ultra violet picture with long exposure taken by the apollo 16 manned moon craft showed some stars and the constellation was detailed and labelled showing them to be correct.

So you see visibility of the stars in space pictures not just the moon is as a result of light exposure from both the sun and weak star lights. .

below are the pictures of the ISS and Astronaut on a space walk. it will be in HD cus i have them on my phone. . see if you can find stars on them....the last picture will be a long exposure ultra violet picture taken by apollo16 from the moon stars detailed.
note the magnifications of the lights that even the earth appear to be as bright as the moon when viewed from here[/b]

1. The fluttering flag

[b]

I sure was expecting this to be the first, now let us go on it.
The conspiracy theorist suggest that the moon has no atmosphere therefore the flag shouldnt move. . they speculate it either the footage was shot in a secluded desert or in a studio. .
we will take it one after the other. . .

1)Desert theory: If the footages were taken in a desert, we know the sand particles in a desert are relatively small and dusty. . . A gush of wind on a desert capable of fluttering a flag that low to the ground sure must move dust particles. . then why are they no dust particles moving, why is only the flag moving? A gush of wind capable of moving a flag couldnt move dust? i think not.

2) The studio theory: some theorist assert the photos were shot in a simulating studio. . Let us examine how plausible this should be. .

a studio enclosed for this purpose sure must have been indoor. . and we all know flags dont flutter inside our houses unless we leave the doors open and a flush of wind rushes in, or we leave the fan on, it would take a high speed fan on a close range to make a fan flutter in a room or studio, remember studios are more enclosed without large windows, just necessary doors.

So NASA bearing in mind that the moon had no atmosphere, did you think they would purposely leave the fan ON and place it at close range at the flag? or maybe they left the doors open for winds powerful enough to flutter a flag to rush in?

If you watch the pic you posted closely, you would see that the upper side of the flag is held up by a horizontal metal stick thats why its straight so as to maintain an uptight flag in the low gravity moon environment, that is the only way to spread a flag in a non-atmospheric environment.
If you watch the footage you would see the flag started fluttering, more like starting moving after the astronauts touched it while sticking the metal rod into the ground.
https://www.wallpapermaven.com/i/space/7/Moon-Flag-d.jpg see Armstrong pulling down the flag horizontal bar?

Nasa's reply to the movement of the flag was: They twisted the pole into the Lunar
dust and in doing so they caused the flag to 'wobble'. Since there is no atmospheric
friction on the moon, and since there is a low gravitational field, the wobble of the flag
persisted for much longer than it would on Earth. It appears as if it is blowing in the wind
but in reality it has retained movement momentum from the action of twisting it into the
ground.

This is similar when you shake an X-ray photo in your room, it wobbles. . that was the effect the shakes (while installing the flag) had on it and remember the low gravity and atmospheric friction of the moon makes the momentum more enduring than it would on earth... Or were they expecting a flag to be crisp like an iron sheet when obviously someone touched it?

picture of a the settled flag, notice it still has creases.

Note again that Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a satellite launched to orbit the moon has taken images of the land sites of the 9 achieved manned moon missions. . You can see pictures here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Reconnaissance_Orbiter

If you are drawing your basis from that angle, that's reasonable. But I'll say two things would help: 1. Tracing of the religion's origin and 2. The manual( holy books). How reliable is the source? Are the advice found there practicable? God being impartial, is the manual widely know or read? Does it explain the origin of life? Does it explain where we are heading? With these you could see for yourself. You just to put in a little bit of research.

Ok let us hear you tell us the origin of these three religions.

1) Hinduism
2)Christianity
3)Islam

check next post

waiting for them, the first unmanned craft to the moon was in 1957 by Russia. . . Man had the technological capability then to send a craft to the moon and again there was a space race between america and Russia that triggered rush in the need for scientific feat accomplishments

The bible does tells which is the truth, bro. It's easy reading that bible text I included in my first reply to your post. Then you look around and find-out which religion has that trait.

Ok so i should judge other other religion with the traits stipulated by the bible, why not tell me to judge every religion with the traits stipulated by the hindu scriptures. . . . Again there are many religions and religious books,.you still haven't shown us why you think yours is right and all others are wrong

I believe we can do all things we really think we can do. The power in us is infinite, the universe actually is at our disposal. Choose to believe that there is God, heaven and hell and it comes into existence, when you sleep, you dream about it, however you think God looks like, your mind will create that illusions and that's exactly what you'll see. Whatever purpose you give yourself in this universe that's exactly how your life will turn out to be. Even a mad man is at peace with himself, he thinks he's living his purpose here on earth until someone (seemingly) cures him of his madness. But was he really mad? Or are we the mad people?

But we may not understand, until you try to live against everything you've ever believed in, then you'll start seeing that everything is what it is because that's what we want it to be.

Mehn, I can't really explain this state of mind. It's just amazing. Everyday I just keep seeing that things are not really what they seem to be.

I hope I'll be able to explain this state of mind one day.

Lol. . . i think i understand that state of mind but with this it i easy for someone to discern you don't believe in a personal of anthropomorphic god.

for what we believe turning into an alternate reality is more of an imaginative cognition on the part of the believer, and this still an extended part of you and not a distinct reality.

I'm not studying or intending to study philosophy;don't get it twisted.I'm only a curious mind.

My question was borne out of the fact that most philosophers do strongly negate anything involving God.And secondly,I do come across their wisdom quotes.

The famous philosopher of Alexandria, Hypatia said:

Fables should be taught as fables
Myths as myths
and miracles as poetic fancies.
To teach superstition as truth is horrifying
the mind of the child accepts it and only through great pain or perhaps tragedy can he be free of it.
men would fight for superstition as quick as for the living truth-
even more so,
since superstition is intangible, You can't get at it to refute it but truth is a point of view and so is changeable.

But the dictionary meaning of pantheism doesn't really explain what I've chosen to believe in.

Pantheism is the belief that the Universe (or nature as the totality of
everything) is identical with divinity, [1] or that everything composes an
all-encompassing, immanent God. [2] Pantheists thus do not believe in a
distinct personal or anthropomorphic god.

Lol, every state of mind got a label.

Yeap. . . that actually is a default mode because pantheism maintains . "All is god and god is all" "everything that is, was and will be" and everything in existence is what we know as the universe. . . So pantheism is not really theism, the noun God is used to portray the notion that all is One. .everything in existence are just particles of one single whole.…
