This is tinfoil hat time... big time.

I'm willing to bet that most of those who doubt an event as well-documented as the moon landing will nevertheless quite easily believe that Noah's Ark has been found.

It's only fair. Many of the most zealous believers in an actual moon-landing believe in the magic of mindless, directionless Darwinian evolution.

There are many varieties of fools. Never discount well-educated fools.

Ironic, isn't it? They also believe in Bigfoot, UFO's, crop circles, and other nonsense. They also support it financially, by purchasing the tabloids and books trumpeting these works.

There is quite a large cottage industry of people who make a living off selling these fairy tales as "conspiracies". The con men have had excellent support from, big surprise, Hollywood. Countless films and TV shows have, over the years, lent much false credibility to the stories.

It would be nice if most folks were the type who, when asked to believe some wild tale of "monsters" or "aliens", simply asked for some solid PROOF, and knew what, in fact, constitutes such proof. Hint: It ain't "eyewitness" accounts, nor is it a book by a carpenter in Jersey.
