Hasn’t the moon been mentioned in texts and literature throughout
history? There is no mention of the moon in the English language prior
to the year 1066. This is a proven fact, so rarely spoken of in these controlled
academic institutions. Nonetheless, Lunarists have been known to refer
to alleged mentions of the moon in literature as proof that its existence
could not have been fabricated. Obviously they are desperate when they
begin to refer to works of fiction to support their case. For example,
in William Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet, Juliet says to Romeo:
O swear not by the moon, th’inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable... [Act II,
Scene 2]
However, it is clear in the passage that Juliet is referring to the moon
as a questionable, ephemeral thing. Surely, if she thought the existence
of this object to be a certainty, she wouldn’t consider an oath sworn against
it to be unreliable.
Or, examine the following passage in Othello:
It is the very error of the moon;
She comes more nearer earth than she was wont,
And makes men mad... [Othello to Emilia, Act V, Scene
2]
In this passage, Othello refers to one of the many myths surrounding the
moon that were later to be proven false. In this case, that the moon in
some way affects the minds of human beings, and even has the capacity to
drive one to insanity. Scientists have since quietly backed away from this
absurd theory. Therefore, this mention of the moon can be discarded as
unreliable.
But even if both of the above quotes were entirely reliable and unambiguous,
there are still several reasons why this manner of proof is faulty:
-
Academics are currently debating whether this Shakespeare even existed,
and many postulate that the works usually attributed to him were, in fact,
written by someone else. His presumed existence could very well be a fabrication
of the Lunar conspiracy.
-
Even assuming that he did exist, and did write these lines,
it is not clear at all that he is referring specifically to a celestial
body 2160 miles in diameter, 240,000 miles away from the earth. No object
of such specifications has ever been mentioned in the history of world
literature. We must still depend on the interpretations of "experts", who,
curiously, come from the same controlled academic institutions that brought
is the moon myth to begin with.
