are similar to those people who deny that we landed on the moon. Despite the overwhelming evidence that both evolution and the moon landings are real things, there are still people who deny these things. I bet these people would still deny evolution even if God himself came down and said evolution is for real.

Yes, or the people who deny the Holocaust, or those people who never heard WWII ended...Head stuck in the sand, or somewhere else:p

Um...no. I think people who don't believe in the Bible are more like the people you describe actually, and let me tell you why.
It is very clear that honest to God true events can be disputed. For instance: The moon landing, or the Holocaust. All it takes, is someone's refusal to see the facts, and time. Obviously not much time, since the guy who landed on the moon is still alive, and so are guards who worked in concentration camps, as well as the survivors themselves. Why does time render truth invalid? Are you aware that 400 years went by, before Jesus came, where there was not one miracle, or one divine event from God. The Bible records that. 400 years. That is quite a few generations of people, who only had the beginnings of the Bible to use to learn about God. When the generations that had experienced those events died, I'm sure much doubt crept into the nation. There were probably many Atheistic Jews. They probably figured that the generations before them were simply superstitious. Why should they follow God? He hadn't done any miracles for them to see, He only left them some book. Then Jesus came, the disciples spread out and worked miracles after He left. Soon, corruption and heresy crept in and God was seemingly gone again. So the same thing happened again, people started forgetting. The book which was newly filled with accounts of the miracles God had just done, became old news. God wasn't still working those same miracles, and time had made those writings appear fake. "Jesus really walked on patches of ice, Mary must have had sex, the disciples stole the body, or even better, Jesus never existed." Anything to explain why God wasn't still doing the things that book claimed He had done. "Those Bible writers must have just been superstitious goat herders." Yes, and the Holocaust never happened.

I'm not a creationist but I have doubts about the moon landing. There was after all a good political motive to simulate the whole thing. What is this overwhelming evidence you speak of, TV images and photos? All easy to fix. That may explain why there are some serious problems with certain images, and I have never heard a proper explanation from NASA. I don't believe everything the US government claims, or any gov, or churches, or any establishment.

similar also in that they seem to deny these things for emotional rather than rational reasons. the moon landing hoaxers seem convinced that humans are capable of nothing more than making a fake hollywood movie of the lunar landings. they probably also believe that aliens built the pyramids, since they personally don't know how to build a pyramid. and another less positive example, that islamic extremist terrorists are too dumb to figure out by themselves how to fly airplanes into buildings, they had to have been helped by the US government (which oddly, is the same entity that was too incompetent to do the moon landings).

The "overwhelming evidence" of evolution is forwarded on a presupposition that there is no God. For those of us who believe in God, we have different versions of how the universe was formed based on our belief on the nature of God.
I don't disbelieve evolution because it contradicts the holy text of my chosen faith; I do however find it unlikely and impractical for an omnipotent being to confine himself to such crude methods--and even if evolution is true, it is way too far-fetched to be so merely because of a series of trillions of fortunate accidents.
I think that the universe is proof beyond doubt that God is real, and therefore I would trust God's description of how he created the universe over a man-made one. If God were to tell me differently, then I would believe him.

I believe in evolution more than the moon landing. I mean a video is as much proof as a book.

I saw on Family Guy that the moon landing was fake. Good enough for me.

No. Have you checked out any of the most "recent" findings of the creation scientist? Even some secular scientist disagree with each other,so where is this absolute "proof"?

And so, the theory, which is ever changing, should be accepted as true, even though the scientists that study hardly ever agree? Yeah, sure. You bet.
