Ancient Astronaut Theory

[Tracyt90]

I'm not to sure which section of the site this should be in, hopefully I'm in the right place though.

Ancient Astronaut Theory is something that I have been learning more and more about for the past 6 years, and thanks to more convenient access to the internet and some recent breakthroughs in liberal television ( Ancient Aliens on History Channel) I have began to vastly expand my knowledge. And I would like to expand my knowledge more on the subject, so I would like to start a thread for peoples opinions, or questions on the subject from both sides.

just bunch of fairy tales.

I'm still divided on it. I do believe in aliens, always have, always will and nothing will change that. I still tho don't believe 100 percent that they have ever visited Earth, but by looking at world religions and cultures, a lot of the pieces of Ancient Astronaut Theory do fit together pretty nicely. Now whether or not it's true is still debatable, and to the current extent of my knowledge I believe that it is one of the most logical theories to the origins of religion, culture and the world as we know it. But I only believe that to be a logical theory, I don't fully believe it as indisputable fact yet. If large groups of people were to come up with logical counter points and solid evidence I would probably change my views. But that's the whole problem with theories, only an idiot would believe a theory to be fact and until made fact it is only a theory.

Anyone have any constructive input?

You say it's logical that aliens visited earth. What's your reasoning? Do you have any proof?

"a lot of the pieces of Ancient Astronaut Theory do fit together pretty nicely. "



I'm unaware of any.I AM aware of a lot of argument from incredulity aka argument from lack of imagination. IE "I"m to ignorant,too stupid or too unimaginative to think of anything else,therefore God/aliens did it"

I'd be thrilled if you could name three. (citing your evidence).

or two.

or one .


Not sure I should even bother.Your rather adolescent claim that you will always believe implies a closed mind impervious to reason or evidence.

If you read my post correctly you would have read where it said I will always believe aliens exist, that's all. And anyone who believes that human beings are so almighty that we are the only ones like us in the entire vast universe that we have barely even begun to explore is entirely way too egotistical and close minded. What I said is that if someone were to offer up evidence disproving this theory then I would probably change my views on the subject. But you're the one being childish by instead of constructively building a case for either side, you are sitting there trying to debunk a theory without evidence to back up your claims. I have already stated that I don't have any evidence to prove that the theory is correct, if I did I sure as fuck wouldn't be sitting here writing about it, I would be taking it to the media.

But I do believe tho that they are unexplainable wonders of our world that were not created by man alone, and there is proof to that. Take the Great Pyramids for example. They're have been numerous scientific recreations and simulations done on the creation of the Great Pyramids that prove they could not have been created by ancient man alone. Now what is your suggestion? Do you believe God created them? Do you really honestly believe that man wasted so much time and energy and resources into them and completed a proven impossible feat?

You are the one who is "to ignorant,too stupid or too unimaginative to think of anything else" and you make that apparent by your absolute lack of contributing anything constructive to the topic at hand.

The Pyramids are not an impossible feat. It's a combination of workforce, intelligence, and the right equipments. Aliens are not needed.

Thats incorrect. All the simulations and recreations just pinpoint that we are not sure how they did it. We have no idea and since no one has ever met a marsian, stating that one helped build the pyramids with megarayspacebeamsbeepboopcomputermegalaser, just because we havent figured out how they were built, thats silly.

Von Daniken, who wrote one of the more influential books on the topic, has been debunked several times. He's a media whore. Also, I've seen the Ancient Aliens shows they put on the (pseudo)History Channel and National Geographic...the people they interview have also been debunked (and some of them are fairly delusional). The evidence only holds up as long as you don't do any digging beyond what the show promotes.

I personally hate this theory because I feel it's insulting to the human race to assume we were not capable of the ingenuity it would require to build the structures these numbnuts say aliens must have done. The capability to reason, the inspiration for invention, and the propensity for logic didn't suddenly just appear after ancient times.
