you still haven't actually explained what you think would be considered credible evidence. If i go to florida, and you see me get on the plane, take off, and come back, see all my pictures from the trip, and postcards, and videos, the seashells i brought back with me, airplane tickets, then there isn't anything i can do to make you beleive. If you deicde to ignore every bit of evidence, then you can't call for more. either, logically there are ways to bmake you reasonable certain of something, or its become some arbitrary religious principle that you'll choose to believe regardless of evidence. In essence, you'll have devolved to the level of politician.

Why would you believe that? Can't videos be faked just as easily as photos? What makes a video better proof than a picture??

Well maybe if you had a video log of yourself landing wherever you were going, getting out of the plane and walking off I would gladly accept that...

Third-party evidence for Apollo Moon landings
These experiments have confirmed the age and origin of the rocks as lunar, and were used to identify lunar meteorites collected later from Antarctica.
The detection on Earth of reflections from retroreflectors (mirrors used as targets for Earth-based tracking lasers) on lunar laser ranging experiments left on the Moon is evidence of landings.
The joint Belgian/British/Dutch satellite TD-1 later scanned the sky for stars that are bright in UV light. The TD-1 data obtained with the shortest passband is a close match for the Apollo 16 photographs.

Since the descent stage stayed on the surface, what exactly would you expect to see?

If no one went to the Moon how did 843 lbs of moon rock get here? Please don't say that it's not moon rock because then you'd have to explain how it's older than any rock found on Earth!
Older than any rock on the earth, when it's more likely the earth was here before the moon was?

Yes older because Earth is an active planet and due to volcanism etc rocks metamorphosise therefore the crust of the earth is 'young'. The moon is inactive therefore the rocks are older than any found on Earth. I wasn't saying that the earth is younger than the moon - they are the same age.edit on 5/9/11 by Insomniac because: typo

that would require atmosphere, air and an unfrozen planet. the boots remained soiled i imagine because they where INSIDE the capsule on the journey home.

Where's this evidence you are talking about?
i know for me, the only proof i need to know that we didn't really do it was the not a spec of dust on the landing feet and absolutely no evidence of the dust being stirred up under the rocket...there would be a huge crater under there, there is nothing....proof enough for me......
so now your a astrophysicist and an expert at molecular dynamics in a vacuum in low gravity.
ha ha, if you look at the pics you can clearly see dust on the astronauts boots, and their weight made footprints but 5000 psi of rocket 3 feet from the ground won't stir up the dust and dig a hole?
and the thrust jets where designed to shut off before the lander actually landed . they had 3 foot legs on the feet of the lunar lander that once touching the surface killed the descent engines and a soft low G landing. no crater.edit on 5-9-2011 by CaDreamer because: (no reason given)

I suppose you are right, with the level of technology we have now we can replicate the moon landing on a hollywood set itself...
