What if there were no photographs of astronauts walking on the moon, interviews with the astronauts or moon rocks. Would you believe man had walked on the moon? If a person opposes even the possibility of there being a God, then any existing evidence can be rationalized or explained away. To bad they didn’t have cameras back in the day!

Yep. Too bad there was no camera. But then, God could just reveal himself, couldn't he? He is, after all, omnipotent and all. Could've just left us anything at all that would offer some empirical evidence.
I see the shuttles take off away from the earth from where I live. So... I have two choices...
1. Believe that man goes into space and has been on the moon.
2. Believe that they spend all that money to let the astronauts take a joy ride for a month or so... and btw, where are they for that month before they come back?
With God, I don't even get the advantage of seeing evidence that would be equivalent to the takeoff of the shuttle. I don't get to see anything.

Even to have photographs could not be eneough to convince someone believe, as long as he is ignorant in that science of the moon.
Some people ( the ignorants ) still don't believe on that,as at today, even when you show them moon photographs .
So, educated people with knowledge of science, by that time where there were no cameras, would still believe and the uneducated would not believe , like few people are now.

There are people who believe that man has never been to the moon, that it was all staged. They don't believe pictures, moon rocks, or the words of the men who have been there.
Hmmm!!!!
Sounds just like people who calim the Bible is just fiction.
Proof means nothing, it is all about personnel beliefs, right and wrong are defined by the person. God is only what each person creates him to be? Right?
Wrong!!!!!

In some places it is commonly taught that everything we see just happened by itself, that it came about by chance or accident. Over many millions of years, it is said, life evolved, or developed, from lower forms until finally humans came into existance. In many parts of the earth this theory of evolution is taught as a fact. But is it true that we came from an apelike beast that lived millions of years ago? Did this great universe just come about by accident?
The Bible says:"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."(Genesis1:1) And the facts of science agree that the heavens, with their billions of stars, and our earth had a beginning. they were created. The movements of the stars and the planets are so regular that even years in advance their position can be determined with perfect acuracy. The stars and planets move in the universe acording to the laws and principles of mathematics. A professor of mathematics from the university of Cambridge, P. Dirac, said,in the magazine Scientific American:"One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advancedmathematics in constructing the universe."
The Bible states: "Know that Jehovah is God. It is he that has made us, and not we ourselves."(Psalm100:3) Our human body shows such wonderful design that one Bible writer was moved to sayto God: "I shall laud you because in a fearinspiring way I am wonderfully made....My bones were nothidden from you when I was made in secret.... Your eyes saw even the the embryo of meme,and in your book all its parts were down in writing."(Psalm139:14-16) A baby develops inside its mother in a wonderful way, Newsweek magazine said of this: "It is quitesimply, a miracle." Then it added: "No techniquet can pinpoint the momentous ime of conception. No scientist can tell what wonderous forces then take over to develop the organs and myriad nerve networks of a human embryo."
Think about our great universe, as well as our own body with its wonderful construction and design. Sound reasoning should tell us these things did not simply evolve or come by themselves. They had to have a Designer, a Creator. Consider other things that we see around us. When you are in your house, ask yourself:Did my desk,lamp,bed, chair,table,walls,or even the houseitself, evolve? Or did they need a maker? Of course intelligent persons had to make them! In what way, then, can it be claimed that our much more complex universeand we ourselvesdid not require a maker? And if God put us here,he surely had a reason for doing so.

The astronauts who walked on the moon--I heard one of them became a devout Christian after that. I'm not sure though. What do you think?

Man has yet to go to the moon. Check out the Van Allen belt. So far it is physically impossible to travel to the moon.

If you believe in an omnipotent 'God' you should also believe he could offer non-subjective evidence of himself any time he liked -- absolute proof for all to see which does not involve asking people to believe in ancient, tainted-by-humans biblical mythologies.
Christianity's claim that 'God' condemns to everlasting torment every discerning and impartial person is evidence of the underlying Christian belief that 'God' is *not* actually loving, wise and just.
"Faith" is what liars sell to fools.

It wouldn't matter. IDIOTS would rebel anyway. God loves us so much that He gave us the option of choosing if we want to follow Him or not. If we had pictures, we would have no choice. God wants us to love Him because we want to, not because we have to. Why atheists don't see that I'll never know. It's logical.God is a big God. He can think outside the box, unlike some.

Because we know the moon exists, it is scientifically PROVEN, therefore it is more believable that someone would have gone there.
I do believe there has been proof that "Jesus Christ" existed. His existence is not denied, but the existence of God.
Big difference, but nice try!

Well, if you believe that JC exists then God is here as well, since they are one and the same. Too bad this country's gotten away from the core values originally intended to guide us. Hmmm, 'God Bless America" indeed, why should he? ? ? ?
