Empirical evidence is obtained by means of direct observation. No?

I do believe I saw that EG provided that evidence?

Yes, empirical evidence is obtained by direct observation.  However, EG (and anyone else who supports any of the various bioluminescent moon theories) has yet to provide any details of these observations beyond observing the fact that light does indeed come from the moon.

I never made this claim. I was viewing the light produced by the moon-shrimp that inhabit the moon.

Actually, if you think about it, it now makes sense why moon-light is dangerous.

It is most likely the moon-shrimps' way of defending themselves against other creatures that would wish to feast on them during that period of moon time.

EnglshGentleman, your thinking is circular:
- There's light on the moon because there are shrimps. And there are shrimps because there is light.

What empirical evidence do you have that the light from the moon comes from moon-shrimp?  How do you know that the light doesn't come from moon-jellyfish fish or bioluminescent trees?

It is you who is going off-topic, you are not posting empirical evidence of the form of these creatures.

Okay, as you seem to think Han_Solo was on-topic, I will respond to him.  One-celled animals would fall through the barbecue grill unless a very fine filter is used.



There are many types of one-celled organisms you know.

Of which half is asking for empirical evidence, and the other half claiming that seeing the moon is empirical evidence of moon shrimp. Oh and one post claiming dreams are also empirical evidence.

I wonder if proponents of the "moon shrimp" realize that it could be a slippery slope in the downfall of FET.  One of the frequent arguments of Fe'ers use is that earth is "special" because it's the only place known to have intelligent life.  However, if there are moon shrimp (or some other bioluminescent material), then that means that earth is not unique in having life.  That makes the earth a little less special, doesn't it?  Also, if these moon creatures were able to communicate telepathically with James, then that means that the earth is not unique in having intelligent life.  That would seem to make the earth a lot less special.  So, if the earth isn't as special as FE'ers once claimed, then why should it be special in it's shape?

also, the earth argument is not really earth is special, becuase we have detected earth-like planets. 
or i can state that frogs are unique to shrimp, as you know becuase they are amphibians that have tadpoles in their life cycle

futhermore, there shouldnt be anymore ways to find moon shrimp than to go on the moon

While browsing the web for tips on astrophotography, I came across this page:

http://www.rocketroberts.com/astro/flag_on_moon.htm

Basically: There's no way you could possibly make out anything as small as moon shrimp on the moon. You'd need a telescope 805 feet in diameter to even see the U.S. Flag as a dot. Therefore, based on this, there is absolutely no possibility that you could see "moon shrimp", even with an 805 foot telescope. With regular, available technologies? Impossible.

Good luck proving that empirical evidence you all talked about.

FE evidence:
- I dreamt of it, and talked telepathically. (i made a request on this point, it was ignored).
- If there's light, there are shrimps, and viceversa.
- Asian food recipies.

- It is literally impossible to directly observe (and therefore make any empirical observations by sight) any shrimp-like organisms on the moon, completely ruling out the possibility of Flat Earthers obtaining any empirical evidence thereof.
