The Lunar Landing Hoax Theory - Evidence Pro and Con A cash reward of $100,000 was offered to anyone who could prove, with conclusive physical evidence, the existence of the moon. This reward still remains unclaimed ("The Moon-The Real Truth"). After all, how does one know for sure the moon even exists? Even if it does exist, how does one prove it?

Moon Landing Hoax John F. Kennedy once said, "No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard”. The main motive for this quote was to ensure that the United States wanted to beat out the Soviets in the space race.

spellbinding journey has always interested the world as it is not a day-to-day exploration and is a once in a lifetime opportunity. For the past years there has been a heated debate on whether this expedition actually took place or if it was just a huge hoax. Eventhough reaching the moon is a great achievement, would NASA fake such an important milestone in human history just to beat the Soviet Union?

In the book, The Language Hoax, presented by John McWhorter, a credited linguist, contradicts the Whorfianism view by establishing his “manifesto” against the Whorfian position. McWhorter has a distinct goal to not only show the Whorfian flaws but also to establish it’s political
Evolution, otherwise sometimes called the “Devil’s hoax,” is a controversial topic that ignites a rather substantial reaction, particularly in Christian religious communities. Through the years, the heated debate over whether God or evolution is right has become a major breaking point for people of faith. Evolution suggests that God didn’t miraculously place humans in their present form on Earth and that the Bible isn’t the ultimate scientific truth. In this world, science is pitted against religious
