Guys,
I have been carrying out my research now for over 10 months attempting to find flaws in my research. The more flaws i look for in my research, the more i only seem to find scientific evidence that my research is correct.

Guys i'm being really honest here. In the end, when the truth of my investigation eventually does go public, its going to be absolutely shocking to the scientific community. To be honest, i don't think the general public will bat an eyelid simply because they won't understand the work i'm about to publish. But anyone with a degree in any of the scientific disciplines will understand.

In the end, the true reality of what happened in ancient human history is going to be better than the best science fiction book you have ever read. My research is so shocking that i struggle to believe it myself.

All in due coarse,
John.

There is no scientific proof of ever Earth being visited by inteligent life from outesapce; until then, keep watching Star Treck, watchout for the those Borg, assimilation.

I think there are two classes of posters here.

    1. Those who do not want to find out that ET was here in the past, in case it upsets their cosy view of life.

    2. Those who do believe that ET was here at one time, and are imaginataive enough to want it confirmed.


Remember that final scene in Close Encounters? I would go in that saucer without hesitating, and I wouldn't look back ....



Well that's a very biased list, isn't it? I could rewrite the bias thusly:

There are two classes of posters here.

    1. Those who want to find out the truth of ET's existence; past, present, or future.

    2. Those who want to believe so much that ET was here at one time, and were willing to imaginatively create such fevered explanations that defy all hard evidence, and any attempt to match reality with their views is met with great agitation because it upsets their cozy view of ET's and/or superior beings.



But shouldn't we try to be more objective when stating our lists? Wouldn't a more objective list state:

    1. Those who do not believe in ET's existence in our past due to a lack of physical supporting evidence.

    2. Those who do believe in ET's existence in our past and wish to find hard evidence to support the claim.

I always thought the hieroglyphics image below was rather interesting. It looks like there is a sub, plane and a helicopter.



You've heard of a Rorschach test, right? The viewer sees what they want to see out of the images, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's what the creator/artist meant to show, if anything was meant to be shown at all.

I would also be highly cautious and skeptical of any "internet" modifications of the original image so as to unscientifically change the evidence to favor one theory. Until I see an actual image of the original picture, I hesitate to make judgement on what it is I'm supposed to be seeing in the picture.

Well there you go. It's most certainly a form of Rorschach test in that our brains want to interpret the images we see as what we are familiar with today, but isn't necessarily what was meant to be drawn.

Ok, I'll suggest a compromise.

    1. Those who do not believe in ET's existence in our past due to a lack of physical supporting evidence, and fervently hope that none is ever found.

    2. Those who do believe in ET's existence in our past and wish to find hard evidence to support the claim, and are prepared to spend time investigating possibilities.



That's not even a compromise! The second part of the first line item isn't even close to true, and it shows you're still trying to be biased.

Since I am obviously part of the first category, I can state definitively that in light of physical supporting evidence, I would be all about spending time investigating the facts on the new discovery. To say that I "fervently" hope that none is ever found is disingenuous to say the least.

Likewise with part two, you're not really doing yourself justice with that description. You're indicating that you're a bunch of lunatics looking for "possibilities" without evidence or proof.

My good sir, I do believe your objectivity has been compromised.

Really? What gave you that idea? That was a general comment. Maybe the cap fits though? From my experience those who want to believe that no ET ever visited earth would be devastated to find out they did. It would undermine everything they believe.


I find myself saying the same thing about religious people finding out that there is no God; they will be quite devastated, and it would undermine everything they believe, whereas with an Atheist, if it is ever found out there is a God, not much really changes other than they would have to learn what this God wants out of us (beside verifying what exactly makes them "God").

But you are quite wrong in that we would be devastated at such a revelation. There's no logical reason to allow empirical evidence to support claims "devastate" your world-views. A rational person simply accepts the evidence and claims and incorporates them into their life... like accepting that the world isn't flat. I doubt too many people were devastated by that revelation.

You're indicating that you're a bunch of lunatics looking for "possibilities" without evidence or proof.

Oh c'mon now, you know better than that, you do yourself an injustice. We as "a bunch" as you colloquially term it, are prepared to take serious suggestions and look into it further. If upon examination there is no eveidence to support it, then it is discarded.

I am not compromised at all, only in your view. But we are going round in circles here. Do you honestly think that if there was any cast iron, irrefutable scientific evidence that ET had been here before, and therefore exists, that it would be released to the general public?


Do you honestly think that all evidence isn't taken seriously and investigated? How do you think we come to conclusions based upon the available evidence? Guess work?

...and yes, I do believe that any and all evidence would be released to the general public. People simply can't hold secrets, especially big ones. There's always a whistle blower out there that's willing to spread the truth.

Based upon your inability to state those "list" items in a neutral way, I would say that you are compromised, and not only in my view, it's self-evident just from reading it. You insist upon putting a slant in there that slams the opposition's views - yet when I did the same to point out the slant by example, you said I was doing myself an injustice. Is there a double standard being applied here that prevents you from being neutral?

Ozzfan,
Some day in the future, when me and Chris S are sitting in heaven beside the Lord God enjoying ourselves, sipping drinks and chatting about ancient alien theory, we will have a good laugh together reading back over the messages we shared on these forums. We will be laughing at you Ozzfan for not having just a little faith! Just enough faith to go investigate the true facts!

While thats happening Ozzfan, you and Richard Dawkins and your other atheist followers will be arguing with each other over who's fault it is that nobody bothered to actually investigate if there really was a God. It will be sheer hell for you guys that you never made it into heaven.

John.

Ooooer...

Is that some modern day interpretation of an ancient Egyptian curse?


Meanwhile, how do you know that your idea of fun is the same idea of fun as that for an omnipotent God?

There is a world of difference between our omni-ignorance as compared to omnipotent boredom...


(I can't help but wonder at the very clever in-jokes and clever double meanings that permeate some religions. I suspect there were some very clever, thoughtful, and very bored monks of years ago. Why else have an unholy of ravens?!)

Message 1161890 - Posted: 13 Oct 2011, 15:29:36 UTC - in response to Message 1161874.  

But it is also true to say, that there there is no provable scientific evidence that it didn't happen.


You are referring to "lacking of evidence isn't evidence of lacking" and the scientific community doesn't operate that way. In order for a claim to be verified, there must be something that can be tested and repeatable. If there is nothing, then it holds no merit and is ignored until better evidence can be provided (if at all).

Take the church, 88% of the worlds population, 6.2 billion, currently follow and worship a religion. Yet not a single one of them have a shred of scientific proof or evidence that their god, or gods, ever did or do exist, or that there is a heaven or afterlife. Putting to one side upbringing, local custom, coercion, why do they do that?


People are known to like repetition, and they like being told stories that their existence has a higher meaning or purpose. Therefore, they will return to these spiritual worship places and continue to be lied to because it makes them feel good.

Because they simply choose to believe in something, even though there is no evidence. Try standing outside a church on Sunday holding a placard that says "I ain't going in until you prove there is a god" I can just imagine the responses you'll get. And it's no different here. Some of us don't need cold hard scientific proof to believe in something.


Fine, you don't need cold, hard scientific proof to believe... but if you want the rest of us who do require cold, hard scientific proof to believe, or you want us to agree with your conclusions, you'll need to back up your claims. Otherwise, what's the point of blathering opinions and beliefs?

Johnney,

If it turns out that there is a God and a Heaven, and the two of you decide to laugh at us, I wish you all the best on that.

Do note, however, that there will be no arguing coming from me (and I seriously doubt the other Atheists will be arguing about it as well). In fact, I would not feel guilty or blame fault on anybody for not believing. After all, if the deity exists, it is up to them to make themselves known, not to keep everyone guessing about his/her/their existence.

Chances are, you nor Chris will be laughing when you're dead. You'll simply be dead.

I am not asking you to agree, I would just like you to accept that the belief or conclusions that I and others may have come to, have as much validity as your own. Seeing as neither of us can bring forward irrefutable proof one way or the other, and are rather unlikely to, that seems to me to be an equitable way forward.


What determines a belief's validity is their ability to show proof and facts. If you cannot provide proof for the claim, then there's no reason to believe it. What you and many others keep failing to realize or accept is that the burden of proof falls on the claimee, ergo if you claim there is a God you must show irrefutable proof. To say that because I cannot prove there isn't a God, that your belief is just as valid as mine is disingenuous at best.

The only way forward for me is for believers to admit that they carry the burden of proof in their belief system; to stop claiming that Atheists or non-believers have their own faith and religion of not believing, and to amicably agree that they choose to believe in a higher power/deity out of faith, not out of knowing.

Aha! Now we have your corner.


I seriously doubt it! ;-P

After all, if the deity exists, it is up to them to make themselves known, not to keep everyone guessing about his/her/their existence.

Excuse me, why? If you were God Almighty and all powerful, why would you bother, you could please yourself. Wanns expand upon that one?


Why not? If I'm as arrogant, vain, and jealous as many religions depict me, I would definitely make myself known so they can all worship my greatness.

...and even if the religions have me pegged wrong on my arrogance, vanity, and jealousy, I see no reason why I should keep my existence secret. ...and don't give me any of that "God can do what he wants and it doesn't have to conform to your lowly human thinking" BS. If all of the elements of the universe have always existed while we've slowly discovered them, than I fail to see why such a large existence as a deity would be so hidden or secretive - especially since this deity has been alleged to have talked to numerous people throughout the millenia, and known to work in "mysterious" ways through people. Such a presence would not be hidden or hard to find.

No, no, Ozz, definitely aliens. That carving on the top right is a curling stone, couldn't be anything else. The only way the ancient Egyptians could have made large sheets of ice to curl on would be using alien technology.

:P

On another note: isn't it interesting that these science forums have become like the political forums. People argue and argue and no one ever changes their mind.

Ozz my friend, I agree and support your arguments, but you are totally wasting your time. Rational thought and critical thinking has left the building :(
