MyOwn Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 So what do you think of Ancient Aliens on the History Channel? " Ancient Aliens examines 75 million years of the most credible alien evidence here on Earth, from the age of the dinosaurs, to ancient Egypt, to the skies over the western desert in the present day US. Ancient cave drawings of strange creatures, an asphalt-like substance in an Egyptian pyramid made from the remains of unidentified creatures, continued mass sightings in the USA -- these are just a few of the strange stories that will be investigated." I think "and this is only my personal opinion" If I had to subscribe to a religion it would be this belief. Please don't shoot me to bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm not toast yet...Lol... I find that the show asks questions that I've had for a long time...And I like the explanations they provide. The big giant structures in plain view left for us to ponder "How the Hell" did they build that back then???? You are correct, it is designed to support their theories. And I think, make folks contemplate life's meaning. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I never said nor implied that. There is however, a distinction between thinking differently, and thinking without rigor. Basing conclusions upon a foundation of false assumptions does not show rigor. Also, belief (as ancient astronaut theorists believe, or suggest lol) is not a logical nor a scientific way to go about it, unless of course one is talking about religion. Are you talking about it as religion? If so, then the terms of service banishes the public conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 This is the kind of topic that should be presented in the old BS section, and then get shredded by your favorite colleagues. To think that some called that forum worthless and unwanted, probably because people there thought differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is belief? It's believing in something. Chevy, Ford, Dodge... Mac OS vs Microsoft vs Linux... For me the thought of human existence and how we became to be, is intriguing. I don't and simply cant except the conventional rationale for how or why we are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 But you can accept belief in a mechanical object? Chevy, Ford, Dodge? Human existence is far more intriguing, and not equivalent to the above. Then again, you only inhale that hard when hitting the bong.

Nothing wrong with a bong, or whatever you decide to put in it. I refuse to get in a pissing contest with you. I simply asked if folks had watched the show and what they thought about it. I brought up religion in the same question, "maybe not a good thing to do" on this forum. The show is about a different way of thinking about what we have been taught.

oldtimer Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 LOL. Sorry. I thought you would see the humor in quoting you from a different thread. BTW, the show is about entertaining people, and usually puts me on the floor laughing with the logical fallacies based on assumptions.
