DAVEH: So....in absence of Dean answering my below question, do you know what he is talking about, Perry? I vaguely remember somebody posting some stuff about moon men and LDS theology several years ago, but don't recall the details. A quick search of the net didn't get me very far, and I'm too tired to do much else tonight. Perhaps you have it at your fingertips...

BTW.......I didn't see any connection between your below URL and JS.....did I miss it? (That is one difficult site to read with the small print and the moon in the background!!!)

Dave, Dean,

The idea of people on the moon was not JS's original idea or thought. Like many of his day, prominent scientists included, he most likely was sucked into a hoax that was published in the New York Sun in 1835 by one Richard Adams Locke. Related? I have no idea, but if so...that would mean we have been vexing the mormons for 170 years!

I have reprinted an excerpt of "The Moon Hoax" from an astronomy book at this site:

*.And how can anyone with a reasonable mind believe a person who claims there are 7 ft Quakers on the moon*

.........I do not recall discussing that. You've been tossing that claim out on TT recently as if it is something I should know about, but I don't. I googled it and didn't come up with anything either. So help me out, Brother Dean....please explain what you think I should know about it.
