I suggest you read this before asserting that archaeometallurgy would be able to date the object!

Comment on Pseudoscience by Sam Paellon

I think there is evidence that ancient aliens helped build Roman buildings.

The new testament is contemporary with the Roman world and clearly documents people from the roman world interacting with what are clearly super natural beings with other worldly powers.

Or perhaps its all fiction?

“I’m not one of those nutjobs that believes the entire world flooded 5,000 years ago. I believe it’s perfectly likely that it happened at the very beginning of Earth’s geological history, around 100,000 years ago.”

You’re not any less wrong than a YEC, and you’re wrong for exactly the same reasons. You’re just being self-serving by believing otherwise.

So, for those of you keeping score at home:

Holographic 9/11 Airplanes? Crazy
Aliens controlling the planet? Crazy
Atlantis and ancient aircraft that harness the Earth’s electric fields? You’re brainwashed sheeple for not believing.

Also known as, “special pleading”. You’re wrong for the same reason that Alex Jones is wrong. Because what you’re proposing makes no sense.

Plus, news flash, there is no “eastern” or “western” science, it’s just science. There’s no magical “Eastern” history or science that offers any kind of legitimate evidence for that kind of bull.

Comment on A wall in a coal mine by McWaffle

What about the Hip Hop music video the mine superintendent produced? That contains lots of detailed information about this incident. So, obviously, it really happened, thereby proving that modern humans lived 10,000,000 years ago and walked around on their hands instead of their feet. Open your mind, sheeple.

Or it’s just not a real animal. That’s probably the simplest explanation. For this and most of the petroglyphs, actually.

Bah, even if any of these questionable examples of claimed “old world” scripts were accurate, any suggested contact between the old and new worlds quite clearly had minimal or no impact on the native cultures that flourished in the Pre-Columbian Americas,

Luckily various native cultures, civilizations, languages etc. have been very well documented (including DNA analysis), and they quite clearly demonstrate a wide array of uniquely evolved societies and accomplishments, the merits of which cannot be attributed to “old world” sources, be they welsh, viking, phoneician or jewish.

You seem willing to believe a lot of implausible things without any evidence…….you wouldn’t happen to be a scietologist or mormon would you?
