The Nile is a river in Africa. Denial is what you suffer from.
All people across all ages made similar observations. These are not falsehoods but truths worked out about the human condition. You should try thinking about it again some time Brian.

You confuse mere "input" as being the same as testable and falsifiable data.
There are an infinite number of claims made by a diverse species and so the fuck what. You are not using a computer to type your argument on because Thor invented computers anymore than you exist because Allah is a real god who invented DNA.
Appeal to the popularity of noise and confusing it with fact by calling it "information" is absurd. Reading crap or hearing crap and having that crap be popular only constitutes transfer of communication. It does not constitute transfer of fact.
