It is widely thought to be the end of an ice age. The civilizations just popped up one after the other didn’t they. Especially when u look at the middle east
How certain are we on the dates? Ive read that Mesopotamia was from 8,000BC and others say 5,500BC. Our written history begins here followed by the Indus valley and Egypt, then Babylon and the rest.
And is it fair to say we don’t really know if religion or agriculture came first? Because I have heard arguments for both. Megaliths, u said we really have no idea if they were buildings, religious monuments or what. We don’t really even know how they were built either. Im interested in acient megaliths but thas a topic for another day

That’s not nice. Note that u are the only one to give a theory on this thread. I might think someones theory is stupid but I never think someone is stupid for postulating a theory on such things that no one knows about. That’s not fair.
I haven’t been ridiculous. I was given countless definitions by this forum on belief. Am I ridiculous to try understand the definition or not to pick one? I accepted it in my 3rd post but people are still on there now, who is ridiculous? And then I post a thread asking why that guy and many atheists are angry. Whats ridiculous about that, seriously? Its been 30 vs 1. I havent used foul language nor have i attacked anyone, iv remained calm in a room full of hostile atheists. Am I ridiculous? 20 atheists all getting their knickers in a knot over 1 person. Am I ridiculous?
Everyone is just scared and paranoid that im a theist and don't like being questioned. Even in this thread someone was like "I'm not sure what needs to be explained" as if he knows all wen he explained nothing. Like I said im not trying to win an argument. Just rather bounce thoughts off people and understand this community
Bolga ur the only one with the balls to offer a theory here. The only one who has actually given this topic a thought. Im only communicating with u, one on one. Not 30 on 1. So I ask u to rid all your emotions and preconceived notions. Its a long post but don’t respond instantly from the heart. Take time to think first so u can respond from the mind. If u still claim that Im ridiculous then I'll walk away knowing at east i tried.
My theory is on pre agriculture and is based on human nature and the observation of mammal societies, especially primates. Watched heaps of docos.
Stay tuned. Its coming shortly...
You don't read so good. I also offered a theory on religion, or is that not what you wanted to discuss? And why are you bringing the drama from another thread here? That doesn't serve anyone's interests, but perhaps yours.
