You mean your perception became shaped in such a way that you began to take particular notice of information that was similar to other pieces of data you had already collected. This is nothing but a phenomenon of your own habits of mind. It's no indicator of any subjective truth whatsoever. You place too much faith in your own perception.

Just have a healthy awareness of it's limitations. It's a common mistake, people often think eye-witness accounts are a great source of evidence, but it's one of the worst sources because what we perceive is so unreliable and because so much can be lost or misinterpreted in the communication of those perceptions.

none of you have been to the moon so you can't say if there are aliens or not..

I don't have to go to the Moon to believe there are no Aliens. You can't say "Well, you've never been there, how do you know?". Well, have you ever been to Canada? I have. Let me tell you something - run by polar bears. It's true. Have you been there? No? Well then how do you know that Canada is not run by polar bears?

Ok, I'll address your points from earlier:
Quote:
The ETs are not ON the moon, but they may be IN the moon. I'm sure some of you have heard of the fact that the moon is hollow?
You mean the speculation that the moon is hollow?
Quote:
When NASA crashed a probe into it a while back they recorded a long and pronounced vibration like when you hit a bell or a gong.
How about a little more on this? Did you look into this concept yourself?
Quote:
Also, the shapes of the craters on the moon suggest that there is a very hard surface under the initial surface of the moon. That is because many of the craters are very wide but not very deep.
Why does a wide but "not very deep"(compared to what?) crater suggest a very hard surface under the initial surface of the moon? Here's a suggestion: the lesser gravity of the moon causes impacts more shallow than what might be found on Earth. Total layman's speculation, I admit.
Quote:
They have also recorded clouds of mist hovering over the surface of the moon.
Who is they? How were these clouds of mist measured? How do these supposed clouds of mist support a hollow Moon theory
Quote:
Also, whoever asserted that the moon is an old chunk of earth, then why have they found moon rocks that are a billion years older than any rocks on earth?
Assuming your claim is true, there are competing theories on how the moon was formed. Some involve matter from elsewhere coming into contact with a proto-Earth or mass that became the Earth/Moon. We don't actually know how the Earth or Moon were formed though, do we? We have theories.
Quote:
I believe it may be possible that the moon is an artificial satellite sent here by an alien race to facilite the evolution of life on earth for a reason unknown to us.
It may be possible, although at an extremely low probability. Ans if it's not actually true, are you not concerned that your perspective on things is pretty severely flawed?
Or to put it another way, isn't nature wonderful and mysterious enough for you? The fact the the Earth even exists at all in a state that allows you to flourish? People take all this for granted and therefore have to dream up fantasies to inject their lives with wonder. The end result is that they end up with a ridiculous world view that includes a hollow moon with an alien crew inside to watch over us.
How is this any less silly than ancient stories about the world balanced on the back of a great turtle or an omnipotent deity creating the world in 6 days?

Its true polar bears are our main mode of transportation, we would be lost without them.

Yeah I was gonna say thats a bad example because polar bears are so abundant in canada it's rediculous. I took a cab in Victoria a few weekends ago, and that goddamn polar bear cabbie shorted me on the change. Fuckin dick.
