The reason that I ask such a question is because I have ALWAYS felt that modern science was a lie. But, I have very little "proof" of what I believe is actually true. How does anyone question or disprove organizations that have millions of dollars of technology to back up their conclusions? They also have the media in their pockets. How could anyone ever prove that it all just a lie. All of it. |

Here are some of the questions I ALWAYS get thrown back at me: - Why would so many people lie about scientific facts? Thousands of people would have to be in on the lie. - Where is YOUR proof that modern science is wrong? What do you know? Show me the proof! - What experiments do you doubt or disagree with? Links??? - Who are you to question "real" scientists? What degrees do you have? - You are just ignorant and don't understand complex science. Leave it to the real scientists to know the truth. I find all of that bullshit just another mind fuck! Nothing else. |

Well if you can't prove your extraordinary claim, then there is no reason to give it any credence at all. The problem is that you have a very fundamental failure in your ability to evaluate claims and assign weight to them based on evidence, or lack thereof. If you want to prove that what I "believe" in (actually have proof of, witnessed in person, and verified multiple times) is a "fucking lie," then you could start by simply showing up to a SpaceX LZ-1 landing and prove to the world that I'm lying about seeing it happen and filming it. |

Just seeing a rocket launch from a pad, go down field and then even return is a cool and pretty amazing event. What I am doubting is NOT the rocket technology or it's launch or even it's return. What I am questioning is it's end goal which is to leave our near earth orbit and to move beyond this planet to a place like the moon or even to Mars. I believe that goal is an illusion. The rocket launch is not the larger deception. Space travel is. I am doubt our very reality and how it works. The shape and makeup of our reality that we call life on Earth is the big question. See? And no, I CAN'T PROVE IT!!! |
