I can't prove they walked on the moon, ergo everyone's opinion on the subject is equally valid and I am a condescending elitist to suggest otherwise. This is a very neat little argument and can be applied to almost any historical situation.
Unless you can show Hank polaroids of you standing in the primordial ooze as the lightining hits, you don't have a chance. But then again we know that photos can lie, too.

Who was the cameraman who shot the film of Armstrong's first steps on the moon?
