Could E.T. have influenced religion?

Uhh no, can you refresh my memory where I said something about pyramids? Why don't you enlighten me on this missguided attempt that doesn't remotely come close to what I said. When did "I" specifically say anything about pyramids? Maybe you meant it as an example, but an example I wasn't trying to explain, because I was saying their minds would be different.

The reason for the line in the middle of my post was to seperate it into two halves. The first was a response to you; the second wasn't. So you responded to a part that wasn't directed at you, and ignored the part that was. That's probably my fault, it wasn't particularly obvious.
So just to be absolutely clear, this:

Maybe there's a teapot orbiting Mars that can't be seen with our telescopes. It's not impossible. That doesn't mean we need to give any serious thought to Russell's teapot.

Your arguments all seem to take the form:

"I will demonstrate that alien astronauts are plausible.
They are not impossible.
QED."

is my response to your post. Apologies for any confusion!

This forum is of the possobilities, not absolute truth.

I don't know where you're getting the idea that I've claimed absolute certainty or impossibility of anything. It isn't from the content of my posts, that's for sure.
