This is quite a good issue. All the polls I've seen only ask Americans, I am interested in what the other 6 Billion people think. I have never been to the Moon but I have been to America and many of my relatives are Americans, and they are so blinded by patriotism that they would be the last ones to figure it out: 'My country right or wrong". Often I'm told that I must believe because the Russians believe but I've never actually talked to a Russian who believes, only Americans imposing their ideas on others. Hare Krisnas are Hindus, their reasons for not believing come from the Vedic texts, do all Hindus think it's impossible to go to the Moon? What about Moslems, I've heard anecdotes about Mullahs in Afghanistan claiming the Moon was sacred and US soldiers responding that the Astronauts shit on the Moon! Just like the Americans worship their sacred Moon rocks, Muslims worship a black rock that came from Heaven! That's what they have in their temple in Mecca and they bow down to it 5 times a day, they can even kiss it- dont kiss your Moon rocks or you'll contaminate them! They certainly have a better chance of going to Heaven than any of you Americans have of ever going to the Moon! I've even read that they worship the 'Moon God', which supposedly was the cult based in Mecca before Mohammed came along. Did the people who destroyed the WTC believe in the Man on the Moon? Then there's Red China, I've read rumours that they denied it 30 years ago? This year they announced they were going to the Moon and then suddenly they changed their tune and said they were only sending unmanned robots. I've heard they teach people in Cuba that it was all fake -is this true? Does it matter, what difference does what people are taught in school- how great an effect does that have on their likelyhood to believe. True believers often claim that people who believe are all rational, well if you are irrational you can believe whatever you want, obviously you can have irrational stupid and ignorant people on both sides of an issue. After the Aldrin-Sibrel fight a debunking website recieved deaththreats from people who were so stupid they couldn't even tell which side of the issue he was on! Imagine recieving death threats from your own supporters- if that doesn't make you think then what will?
