Quote by: Technosoul Your logic is correct about the cake anology - and hey! You found the pirate chart. But was I really tying to demosrate a cause and effect theory? I stated that there were some super intelligent people on earth - I did not make any claim about how they got to be so smart. The evidence would likewise suggest that is correct.
If you do not think they were super intelligent then go build me a pyramid like they did, or create a crystal skull just like the ones found and researched. Or at least build me a UFO that works.
But I also agree with the cake and pirate anology - I could take a Q and Q poll of everyone who has cancer and find out they all watch at least three hours of TV everyday and then state that watching TV causes cancer (just like they did for cigarettes). But that is not "real science" - as you already know.
Also - I submit (just to be nice) that I was not making absolute factual claims but was projecting a reasonable claim as being a "educated guess". For all I know the pyramids could have been built by prehistoric monkeys who used dinosaurs to move the rocks - and then the monkeys devolved or vanished. | Ah, I get it. You really didn't want to debate. You just wanted to post some whacky what-ifs.
That's cool.
For the record, building massive stone things really isn't all that tough. Just ask Ed. |
Well, you did not build me a pyramind but at least you posted a website about Coral Castle - another rock monument made by someone recently - yet it is a mytery how he did it, but he did it anyway. And we got a lot more "wacky what ifs" about how he built his rock castle.
One problem with those places like the pyraminds, and even stone henge, is that they rocks weigh a lot and so how did they move them from one place to another. What if they had already had sail boats and so they knew about wind-power and so they created large kites to lift the stones off the ground and on real windy days the kites could lift the rocks while others held onto ropes to direct the rocks into place? Another speculation is they rolled them on logs or that they used "mind power".
Mind power seems wacky - but every now and then someone gets trapped under a heavy car and some "weak people" rush over and lift the car off the person - with a kind of "rush" that comes over them in that moment. Later on they do not know how they suddenly got the physical power to lift the car off the person and they cannot repeat the feat. What if people really did have domestic dinosaurs to help move the rocks?
However I would debate that I am not just posting "wacky" what ifs here just because they are cool.
I post them for another reason all together. To encourage alternative thinking.
Nearly all the posts here are about Christian beliefs (which I guess are not wacky?) and the physolophy of science. My main interest is about what I call "concept construction" - how and where concepts came from - one way to do that is to research some of the newest things such as found in the "new ager" movement and so forth.
But why is "wacky-ism" important? because it is the "key" to change and evolution.
Hever is a link for proof about it....

What do you think about this theory?
