Instead of going on the fallacious assumption, that, since it's in a history book that back on '69 men landed on the Moon, that therefore it must be true, they question, as I am.
Not at all.


A Skeptic does ask how and why.
HB's, Alien UFO believers etc are Not skeptics.

In fact, the opposite. They are gullible. They set pre-existing conditions and pre-conceived beliefs.

If they were skeptics- they would weigh the evidence prior to jumping to conclusions
or saying "this does not look like 'proof' to me so it didn't exist, aliens did it or God did it."
