You see, I'm dating someone who, admittedly, wants the ancient alien hypothesis to be true, but is totally willing to poke holes in it as to why it might not be. He might be lurking as we speak.
Please be fairly nice about it, though. I kinda like this one :p
1) Erich von Däniken has been debunked about a million times. And this is nothing else than rehashing his so called theories using different sites and myths.
2) Time and space is the same issue it has been 40 years ago.
3) I would have to look into all that guy is mentioning about history to debunk that too, which would a considerable amount of time and serious sources as in books and scientific websites. But the overall character of the website and "the fellow soul searcher" doesn't seem worth the effort.
4) Mentioning the History channel and the Discovery network is as worthy to a scientific approach as mentioning Fox news for politics. They may get some things right, but as far as European history is concerned - I actually studied that at university - they get it so wrong that's it's hard not to throw a fit of anger. It's aimed at an imbecile audience. And I guess he's talking about their ancient aliens bullshit series someone barfed up while sitting on the toilet.
5) His appeal to forbidden knowledge, as if there was some agency keeping us from knowing the real history.
