And I bet these same people believe in God and Genesis. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black ;-)

Sorry. I thought I'd answered this in my post.

Heh, gotta love illusions.
I was able to see the 20deg 'fall', caused by the rotation of the ball, but couldn't get it to 'break'
The reversal one is pretty cool, if you concentrate hard enough, you can reverse the reversal!
Have to focus your mind(not your gaze) on just one ball, then the reversal reverses.

Of course the moon landings were real - have you ever seen the footage of the rover zooming around, dust particles flying out from under its wheels in perfect parabolas, with none floating around in the air. Not possible to do on earth, unless you have a football stadium sized vacuum....

I always enjoy a good conspiracy theory.

Some have well presented and logical arguments that really get you thinking while most should be taken with a grain or two of salt.
