Indeed. I am glad you see the sheer comedy that doubting our visit to the moon leads us to. There are things, like those mirrors, that can not be explained without a visit so... by all means doubt it all you like.... but realize at the same time that doing so is pretty absurd.
Frustrated fury? Projection, my dear chap. I can't even begin to know how to exhibit fury by text.
You said it yourself that it is a valid question.
Unless you were one of the astronauts, you have to rely on faith at some point, even with evidence.
Yes, but as has been explained to you, not the religious kind of faith...
"Faith" means not wanting to know what is true. Friedrich Nietzsche
“I believe in evidence. I believe in observation, measurement, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I'll believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be. ”
― Isaac Asimov

As they said, there is a very important difference and the failure of some theists to bamboozle us into the same sort of error does seem to occasion fury, even though not in your case, aold bean

Yes sensi (bending forward from the waist with hands held in prayer)

I don't see any difference.
The Life, death and resurrection of Christ (an extraordinary claim) is a historic event with evidence surrounding it, yet I wasn't there to witness it. So if I choose to believe the evidence, I must believe it based on faith.
The Lunar landings (an extraordinary claim) was a historic event with evidence surrounding it, yet I wasn't there to witness it. So if I choose to believe the evidence, I must believe it based on faith.
The only difference is, I believe both sets of evidence and you only believe one.
I think it would be advantageous to you to learn the difference between 'faith' and 'trust'.
Like I said at the beginning of the thread. Faith and trust are not mutually exclusive. For example... I trust my faith.
