Ok. let me see.
Before you categorically exclude that Shiva lives 7000 years ago.
Non sequitur.

What does "you turn at yoga" mean?
Quote:I am sure that if i give you more evidence about yoga being 7000 years old you will turn on something else.
You have provided no evidence yet.

I'd be happy if you got some professional help or possibly medication - it could improve your life.
Wikipedia Wrote:The origins of Yoga have been speculated to date back to pre-vedic Indian traditions, but most likely developed around the sixth and fifth centuries BCE, in the same ascetic circles as the early sramana movements.[8][note 1] The earliest accounts of yoga-practices are in the Buddhist Nikayas.[9] Parallel developments were recorded around 400 CE in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali,[10] which combines pre–philosophical speculations and diverse ascetic practices of the first millennium BCE with Samkhya-philosophy. Hatha yoga emerged from tantra by the turn of the first millennium.[11][12]
So yoga is about 2500 years old, not 7000.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
