The brightest minds of nearly every human civilization have studied space for hundreds of thousands of years. It is possibly one of the most studied phenomenons of human history. You really believe that its all possibly a human led fabrication/lie?

I agree, it absolutely could be some sort of simulation created by a being or entity of a higher power, but to think humans have any involvement in this simulation is, IMHO, absurd.

It might be the creation of other beings, but if it's a screen it's a three dimensional one, beyond the capability of man to create (at least as far as we are currently aware).

"the distances are too far to imagine, sizes incomprehensible but just so you dont question its existence here's a pretty picture of a star exploding or us landing on a comet"

That's pretty much the worst of all possible 'reasons'.

Basically it sounds like you're saying "well, i'm too ignorant, uneducated, or small minded to wrap my head around all your numbers, data, evidence, proof, etc... so it must be fake."

edit: to to too!

Objectively, your argument is no better, though.

"It takes a lot of reading, studying and creativity to come anywhere near an understanding of all the numbers, data, evidence and proof. I don't have that either, but the experts do and I choose to believe them so I don't come across as ignorant, uneducated and small-minded as you do."

Not taking sides in an argument, just pointing out a flaw in reasoning.

Ahhh, drugs. That explains a lot.

Have telescope, can confirm sky is in fact not a screen/tent/illusion.

I have a telescope also and I can neither confirm nor deny anything with it. We have to look through a giant plasma field, same as watching my plasma TV.

Point your telescope to your tv and tell me how well it works. If you really have a telescope you should also have a nice pair of binoculars. Take them and point them at your plasma tv and tell me what it looks like.

If you are trying to imply something about optics, instead of taking my TV outside and standing 50 yards away to get the correct focus with binoculars, how about I just put on a pair of prescription glasses.

Oh hell no!!! Sponge Bob is real!!

And when doing that would you not be able to see the pixels? Would you not be able to tell you were in fact not looking at something real?

What if the pixels are the size of protons? Protons are not the easiest thing to see.

You my friend are an idiot, or someone who just wants to be right on reddit, either way go read a book.

The Van Allen belt is comprised of energetically charged electrons and protons creating a plasma TV surrounding our planet. Also Sponge Bob lives in a pineapple under the sea, soon to be seen on sky vision.. LOL

Just jokingly presenting a theory.

Type "lunar waves" on YouTube.

Lunar waves.

Read about it. I've spent many of nights staring at the moon and taking pictures of it. I have never once experienced this "lunar waves" others are seeing.

Can't. At work.

The universe is an illusion. It's been written about for thousands of years (in the Ancient Hindu/Buddhist texts). You are just perceiving what's there. It's all an abstract representation of something.

This. The universe is Lila, the divine game Being is playing with itself.

THIS!!

A government budget in the trillions would have been an incomprehensible sum to folks in 1776. So incomprehension is not proof of a lie.

What's your scientific background?

Probably below average-ish in high school sciences.
