In the TV program they ripped up the Moonies evidence one by one, but the Moonies had an ad hoc rationalization for every rebuttal.
What do you mean by "ad hoc"?

Man has, and probably always will, put wishful thinking ahead of rational thought.
I don't understand why one would feel passionately about man's landing on the moon.
The reasoning behind the unreplied posts are obviously because of some form of "lack of evidence". Scientific evidence is very difficult to argue against, one would probably feel better about not arguing at all. There are only a few exceptions to the rule here. Have you seen the conspiracy theory on 9/11? It's interesting, blaming not just the current administration, but many for countless "unexplainable" events. It circles to one man who makes these shows, who is to my knowledge believed to have faith in Islam. He recently talked at a school nearby, in New Paltz, New York. Which was frightening. The show aired on an no-name channel, which is local I think.
Creationists really don't deserve to be put in the spotlight for not responding to scientific evidence, when one, they are not the only ones, and two, they rarely can combat such evidence, and usually stick with faith, belief, morals, and philosophy because of this deficiency.
The above relation with the 9/11 subject and creationists is not to be read as proof for others who do not reply, but just another interesting conspiracy theory, when researched lacks evidence.
It's easier to dream, then to realize truths. Especially when those things that may seem to be truths conflict with one's belief in something that they may have a deep love for.
Thanks for giving me the oppurtunity to leech knowledge off of all you guys.
