Again, you resort to name calling and cannot present an argument. You have not provided any counter to the points listed. This is why you lose and get angry.
It speaks volumes about today's educators that people can get degrees without even developing basic debate skills. Getting science nerds to embarrass themselves like this is actually a valuable service, sort of a remedial crash course. Here are some tips:
* ad-hominem is debate avoidance and weakens your position. So is "go look up the facts"; present the facts yourself for scrutiny in the present.
* don't shift the burden with a skilled debater. If you want to prove something, don't waste your time disproving your opponent's position, or your opponent will toy with you.
* avoid emotion, authority, popularity and alliances. It doesn't matter who agrees or disagrees with you. All that matters is substantiating your own statements.
It speaks volumes about your own astonishing lack of intellectual capacity that you write such an idiotic post. Here are some tips:
* Nothing ad-hominem about it. Just the facts - the dude is a moron and there is nothing wrong with pointing it out.
* I am not in any debate. Indeed, one would have to be an idiot to think of "debating" whether the moon landings were real.
* Poster can indeed go look up the facts. If he doesn't want to, that's fine and is consistent with being a moron. If he does and actually believes that the moon landings were faked that's fine too (and is also consistent with being a moron).
* I have zero emotion invested here so your nonsense about "avoid emotion" simply confirms you as brain dead.
