It's the typical self-sealing blather of a religious fanatic confronted with contrary facts. Nick's doing a *wonderful* impression of a very real human reaction.
There have been plenty of real-world religions led by prophets, for instance. One famous one predicted the end of the world in 1916. When it didn't end, she changed it to 1918, then later in 1918, then finally *claimed the world had ended*, but nobody had noticed.
She still has lots of followers.
If you look closely at Nick's arguments, they fall into the "loony religious crazy" zone. After the Moon's fall, the "Lunar Way" is said to still survive. However, you'll notice that he never defines what "The Lunar Way" means, exactly. Sure, if you don't actually have to show actual Lunar cultists, or magic, or effects, then it's really hard to disprove. That's like saying "there is an invisible unicorn standing in front of you."
Brilliant parody, Nick.
