What do you believe?
Almost everyone I know believes something that at best I feel has no credible evidence to support it and at worst I feel is absolutely crackers. What sort of beliefs am i thinking of? Well, here are 10 things that a proportion of UK adults said that they believed for a survey to mark the arrival of the new “X Files” film:
. 1 Area 51 exists to investigate aliens (48%)
· 2 9/11 was orchestrated by the US government (38%)
· 3 Apollo landing was a hoax (35%)
· 4 Diana and Dodi were murdered (32%)
· 5 The Illuminati secret society and masons are trying to take over the world (25%)
· 6 Scientologists rule Hollywood (17% )
· 7 Barcodes are really intended to control people (7%)
· 8 Microsoft sends messages via Wingdings (6%)
· 9 US let Pearl Harbour happen (5%)
· 10 The world is run by dinosaur-like reptiles (3%)
But does it matter what people believe? Does truth really matter? I think it does for the reasons that I have spelled out here.

Did Neil Armstrong moon on the landing?

If he did, we haven’t got to the bottom of it.
