But let me tell you the real answer.įirst of all, the flag was not like the ordinary flag.

According to them, this was filmed in a studio and they could not help with the atmosphere of the earth. If there is no wind on the moon then how come the flag is blowing in the wind? This is the question which has been asked for a long time by conspiracy theories. So, I did a lot of research and found the most asked questions by conspiracy theories about moon landing. It is pretty weird that even 22% of American still do not believe that moon landing did actually happened. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins were the first three astronauts who did the very first moon travel with Apollo 11. There are lots of compelling evidences that the moon landing didn’t happen and was staged.

But what is right and what is wrong? Well, in this blog we will discuss about it. They also pointed out at some footage and photos as evidences. According to them, at that time America was not so well-developed that they could do space travel. Some conspiracy theories even proposed that the moon landing was filmed to prove that America was better than Russia. "We think the message that conspiracism is a type of creationism that deals with the social world can help clarify some of the most baffling features of our so-called 'post-truth era'," he said.There are lots and lots of people who still believe that the moon landing did not actually happen and I kind of feel like we should get to the bottom of this and see if we can recreate the moon landing then maybe there is a possibility that it could have actually been done on a soundstage back in 1969. The data again confirmed the associations between teleological thinking, conspiracism and creationism.ĭieguez said that by drawing attention to the analogy between creationism and conspiracism, the researchers hoped to highlight one of the major flaws of conspiracy theories.

A large-scale survey of people in France also found a strong association between creationism and conspiracism.įinally, the researchers looked at 700 people who had given answers in an online questionnaire. They started with a questionnaire of 150 college students in Switzerland and found that the tendency to ascribe function and meaning to natural facts and events was “significantly, though modestly, correlated with conspiracist belief scales”. The team from the universities of Fribourg in Switzerland and Rennes and Paris-Saint-Denis in France conducted some tests to see how far the similarities between the two mindsets went. There has been a lot of talk of conspiracy theories of late with the advent of “fake news”. Conspiracism is the tendency to explain historical or current events, like the moon landings, in terms of secret conspiracies or conspiracy theories External link. While this approach is not shared by scientists, it is “very resilient in human cognition”, the researchers said, adding that it is linked to both creationism and conspiracism.Ĭreationism is the belief that life on Earth was purposely created by a supernatural agent. External linkĪ teleological thinker will believe propositions such as “the sun rises in order to give us light” to be true, explained Dieguez. "Although very different at first glance, both these belief systems are associated with a single and powerful cognitive bias called teleological thinking, which entails the perception of final causes and overriding purpose in naturally occurring events and entities," said Sebastian Dieguez External link of the University of Fribourg in a Cell Press statement. The results of the study were published in the latest edition of Current Biology External link. The link identified between the two ideas, the researchers said, was “partly independent from religion” and a “previously unnoticed common thread”.
