conspiracy theories you believe

It is for the purposes of scientific consensus. Evolution is more plausible than creationism, therefore we teach it in schools. Or would you rather we "teach the controversy"?

Blacks had tails, the universe revolved around us, dinosaur bones were in fact the bones of giants.

Of course my conclusions might turn out to be false in the future. I never said that could never happen. Somebody might discover an ancient spaceship, just as someone might discover some live unicorns frolicking in a remote part of the Amazonian rainforest. If such evidence appeared I would of course radically alter my worldview.

But until that happens, I stand by my conclusions.

Don't you dare Godwin this thread, you prick.

I'm only talking about your usage of occam's razor as if it really means anything.

[Tadao]

So more plausible is equal to truth.

[Tadao]

Bush, Nazis, Catholics, Christians, Romans, Russians, fucking shit I can go on, but you said the exact closed minded words of all these people.

[Tadao]

Let me use you as an example. To date there is one picture of you. No one has ever met you. You have published the same picture a few times as you. One should assume you are someones character. Therefore you don't exist. Should I now just ignore every theory you have, or should I consider that I may be wrong and collect your theories as a possibility? What is the best way to grow the future? Doubt until proof or consideration until disproved?

In my eyes, you picked the most comfortable chair. I prefer adventure myself.

[kahljorn]

What the fuck is so implausible about unicorns anyway? its just a fucking horse with a single horn like a rhinocerus that contains magic and is as precious as a child's innocence. It's not like its impossible or something.

I don't quite understand what your getting at. Are you suggesting that my argument that the ancient astronaut theory is wrong to be analogous to concluding that I'm a character? Are you saying that I am failing to take evidence into account in my conclusions just as you would be if you assumed I was a character? If so, then perhaps this debate would be better served by presenting me with the evidence in question that you think that I've overlooked rather than continuing along this line of discussion.

[Tadao]

You might even be Geggy's split personality.

[Tadao]

Narwhals were a myth.

[kahljorn]

lol this is exactly like this thread where she had arguments against futurism

[Tadao]

I remember when I felt strongly about something. Turned out I was a teenager.

[Tadao]

Yes Jeanette, it is extremely hard for you to take in to consideration the whole of the universe. Things can actually relate to other things. I like to call it a comparison.

So present me with the evidence that you think I've overlooked in my hasty conclusion. Enlighten me.

[Tadao]

The simple lack of evidence that you have provided is evident of your hasty conclusion.

No, you're the one defending the fringe claim. The onus is on YOU to provide me with evidence backing it.

[Tadao]

I never said the theory you provided was false. The onus is on you because you are claiming the fringe claim is wrong.

If any of you believe it, give me a specific reason as to why and I will explain to you why its a load of crap.

I asked for specific examples from people to discuss. Do you really expect me systemically collect every last piece of ancient astronaut goobeldygook from every last weirdo out there and present them here?

What is it SPECIFICALLY about the theory that you find plausible?

[Tadao]

I know what you asked for, but part of being a sentient being is to think for ones self. I don't bow to you. I don't expect you to know everything, that's the point.

What do I find plausible about ancient astronauts? I need to be clear on this. Is that your question?

[kahljorn]

I don't see how you've shown that any of this is not plausible.

[Tadao]

To say that in the time of our elders, alien life with space travel could not have existed would sound completely fucking stupid. She is stuck between creationism and evolution and doesn't understand that there might be more that 2 choices.

[Zhukov]

I highly doubt that we are the only intelligent life in the universe. I don't, however, think that we have made any sort of contact.

Although any alien life that is highly developed enough (socially and technologically) to visit us would probably see it better to leave our development well enough alone, and at the very least, hide any involvment.

[Dimnos]

I think what she should have said was...

"With all the evidence I have seen I dont believe in the ancient astronaut theories. Does anyone have any specifics to cause them to believe that I may have over looked?"

Yes, saying that is completely fucking stupid.

Good thing that isn't what I said.

YES. Jesus. That is my question. What do you find plausible about the theory?!

YES. Thank you. You have articulated the question better than I did. That is precisely what I meant.
