OT…. Some believe the moon landing in 1969 was staged…. What you think

What about the other 5 moon missions? If 1969 was a fake, were the subsequent Apollo missions also fake?
There is no way a scam that big, perpetrated by thousands upon thousands of people, could be kept secret this long.

Yes. FAR too many people involved to have this kept under wraps for nearly 60 years. No other evidence is needed.

NASA Plays Incredible April Fools' Joke Of Once Again Pretending To Go To The Moon
MERRITT ISLAND, FL — In one of the biggest April Fools' jokes in decades, NASA is pretending once again to actually be going to the moon.

Paraphrasing another Babylon Bee gem, Artemis II return to be delayed as the female astronaut insists on stopping to ask for directions. 
If aliens/extraterrestrial life exist but are actually demons, that is theological.

And she pointed out the windows and yelled "watch out" while the moon was still a million miles away.
By the way, did you guys know the Banylon Bee is a satire site?
I had a great conversation once about how aliens could still fit into the Christian theology. It made more sense the more I drank.
And we are definitely into the dead period.
A spinoff of that question: If aliens exist, can they play OL?
For me, just attempting to grasp the vastness of the Milky Way, and all that it encompess, it would be pretty damn arrogant to think, "We are it, and we are it alone"
Extraterrestrial life can exist in ways that we can not even comprehend.
For me, I don't see it as arrogant at all b/c we had nothing to do with it.
Does the bible say that there isn't?
I have read most of the bible and haven't seen that part yet. I also haven't read that there is either.
Scripture does say why God created the cosmos. Here are two examples:
Genesis 1:14-16
And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.
Psalm 19:1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
That doesn't get into the conversation about Jesus Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection to conquer sin and death. The Bible says He died once for sin; there doesn't seem to be room for extraterrestrial life in that conversation.
The Bible never specifically says there is or isn't life outside of Earth, but I think we can safely say, based on Scripture, that there is not.
Yes. The Biblical account of creation makes it clear that God specifically designed the earth for life...and life for earth. If one believes the biblical account, it would be very odd indeed to give such a detailed account of creation but leave out life created elsewhere. Of course, evolutionists need for there to be life found elsewhere so they could there's really nothing special about earth...and hence nothing special about God/Bible/creation. The fact that we are scouring the universe and all we've found are lifeless planets is a pretty good clue.
The other major point, which you make has to do with atonement for sin and salvation. If there are sentient beings out there elsewhere in the cosmos, what of their spiritual condition? Scripture is clear that Christ died specifically for the sins of man due to the curse brought by Adam upon all mankind. Any sentient beings living elsewhere would fall outside of that. Just doesn't make sense.
The Bible doesn't speak to life outside of earth because it doesn't need to. The Bible also says nothing of centaurs and mermaids.
I cant buy the idea that we've scoured the universe and only found dead planets as being conclusive. We've investigated the tiniest of slivers of it.
My ignorance, but did the Bible specifically say that Jesus only died once? And if so, was Jesus the name of the human manifestation of God. Meaning he could be called something else somewhere else.
I cant put my foot down on the creation story being referenced verbatim as I think its metaphorical.
Jmo.

Answering my own question:
“Jesus died once for all” underscores the complete, singular, and unrepeatable nature of His sacrifice. Throughout the New Testament, particularly in passages such as Hebrews 10:10 and 1 Peter 3:18, the language stresses that Christ’s death dealt decisively with the penalty of sin and eliminated the need for any analogous sacrifice. Hebrews 10:10 affirms, “By this will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Similarly, 1 Peter 3:18 states, “For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.”
Perhaps its just my questioning nature, but I wonder if that is definitive that he could only possibly die once, or that he died once for us. Meaning the sacrifice could have been given for others who also fell. Or crap, the others could could just never have fallen from grace.

Or there was no "fall" at all for others. We are not alone on earth, just the only human species.
It should not be beyond reason that some type of non-human intelligent life form exists somewhere in the cosmos. Whether the creator has a relationship with that form of creation is anyone's guess.
Or written from a perspective that is trying their best to describe what's beyond their descriptive abilities.
I firmly believe there is a way that science fits into the creation story, but only if we're open minded enough to allow room for it.
Afterall, science is God's creation.

More interesting to me is that in about the span of 70 year, we went from horse and buggy as the primary means of transportation to landing a man on the moon. In the nearly 60 years since, we haven't managed to venture any further.
