The "proof" I would put forward would actually be based on evolution, and the fact the humans have grown exponentially faster as a species than others.Are you talking about the show? Or just the theory in general? Either way, it's mostly accurate.The theory, though I've seen the show before, too. It makes complete sense to me to think of ourselves as a mold of something outside of this earth, considering how advanced we are compared to other species -- not saying that other species are not intelligent either. In short, we're hybrids!
What actual proof do you have of this?
Evolution actually works against this theory.
What do you mean, "grown" as a species?
Waiting for an answer....

« on: April 09, 2015, 08:33:07 PM »Right.It says I watch shows that talk about subjects I'm interested in... like most people do.Well then do your own research. I ain't got time to go pull some academic papers on these subjects, which I have definitely done before. The burden of proof is on you and you're just going by some shitty History channel tv show - which guess what? Is also produced by liars.I've said I've seen the show. My beliefs were before the show existed.
In that case, you chose to watch something that would confirm your beliefs rather than challenge them. What do you think that says about you?
It's one thing to watch a show you're interested in. It's another to have a belief and watch a show that tells you that your belief is absolutely right. It's like conservatives watching Fox News all the time, or Christians watching TBN.QuoteI love soccer, but I think I'll go watch baseball even though I hate it.
Note: All Flat Earthers should only watch videos on Round Earth.

Incorrect analogy, interests are the same thing as beliefs

« on: April 09, 2015, 06:39:40 PM »You misunderstood. Our DNA similar to other mammals in the since that all members of Class Mammalia share DNA that expresses traits specific to that class. It's different in the sense that ours contains DNA specific to the Genus Homo and the species Homo sapiens. This is how evolution works, it's a gradual change in DNA that results in a new species. Having similar traits in upper classifications but more specific traits in lower classifications is indicative of common ancestry, not extra-terrestrial genetic engineering. If you want to argue that specific traits in humans are a result of extra-terrestrial interference, you'd have to argue that same in dolphins, octopi, and chimps, which all have a high level of intelligence. You could even argue that roaches, the immortal jellyfish, etc were engineered by aliens to survive. Another thing you'd have to deal with is proving that our DNA (or chimp, dolphin or octopi DNA) originated anywhere other than Earth, especially with this tasty bit of evidence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosome_2_%28human%29#EvolutionThen we agree here. Thork is the one saying it's similar.Our DNA is very similar to most other mammals on earth. We don't seem very alien at all.Of course it's similar, but not completely.
We're hybrids!
Of course our DNA is not completely similar to other mammals, we're humans. That's how evolution works.

« on: April 07, 2015, 11:30:42 PM »Ah, I remember debunking Ancient Alien claims before. Though it's probably going to be considerably harder now that this crackpot believes in Flat Earth and global outlandish conspiracies. At least most AA cultists accept round Earth.
One does not simply "debunk" ancient aliens.
That's what the AA cultists said.
