then this is the whole point of my thread, i was asking from the beginning COULD. if people cannot give me a specific answer for this question of 'how did that mountain form' then i am entitled just like anybody else to give an explanation

Do you realise how exactly like an intelligent design proponent you sound with that argument from ignorance?

"if people cannot give me a specific answer for this question of 'how did life form from unliving organic molecules' then i am entitled just like anybody else to give an explanation..."

Not all explanations are equally valid, and the ancient astronaut is particularly bad:
it raises more questions than it purports to solve, makes completely unjustified assumptions, and is not supported by any evidence.

however the theory about ancient aliens is tangible and there are in my opinion

Sorry, but the scientific method doesn't care about your opinion. To quote one Vince Masuka:

That's not opinion, that's science. And science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap on!

i believe it is quite plausible.

thanks for the input

So what?

My aunt believes that an invisble guy in the sky impregnated a virgin with himself 2000 years ago so that he could sacrifice himself to himself, to atone for wrongs that were his fault in the first place.

My grandmother believes that a vial of water that once contained an irrelevant active ingredient is a valid medical treatment for all possible ailments (homeopathy).

That doesn't make it so.

please understand i am not fucking claiming any of this as scientific! are you not aware that people can come up with theories to explain things? (yes i do realise the irony)

i feel like i am repeating myself over and fucking over, but i did not make this thread with the intention of converting anyone to believing this ancient astronaut theory. end of. it was intended as a point to talk about.

and so what? i'll tell you so what, it's WHAT I WANT TO SAY. this is a forum. i can express an opinion, that is the whole fucking POINT of a forum right?
if by your analysis everyone is wrong and surely the only way of looking at the world is the way you obviously do because it's perfect and leaves no room for being wrong, then man that is one sad, sad world my friend.

we should be free to express opinions and thoughts without having to back up everything we say unless we are claiming things to be true. WHICH I AM NOT DOING. so take your 'evidence' and stick it up your ass
