He lists a large number of reasons for doing something, admits that they aren't necessarily good reasons, but there's just SO MANY of them!Anthroslughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047686739793030565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540283839479085577.post-64539518915871624512012-03-27T08:54:39.248-07:002012-03-27T08:54:39.248-07:00I work with an otherwise good man who likes to tal...I work with an otherwise good man who likes to talk about this show. When I counter every assertion made by the show (as best I can), he still insists that in total it adds up to real evidence.<br /><br />No, a crate full of no evidence is still no evidence.Weatherwaxhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/duchek/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540283839479085577.post-55365739951785583882012-03-26T18:18:59.307-07:002012-03-26T18:18:59.307-07:00I had never thought of it either.

It is pointed out in the book Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries by Feder, where he discusses the fact that very few magnificent European construction projects (such as, say, the Roman Aqueducts or Coliseum, or Greek Temples) are credited to aliens, but similar structures from South America, North America, and Africa frequently are.<br /><br />It really got me thinking.Anthroslughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047686739793030565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540283839479085577.post-49522197907494481572012-03-26T14:35:54.553-07:002012-03-26T14:35:54.553-07:00I don't watch Ancient Aliens, as I'm much ...I don't watch Ancient Aliens, as I'm much too skeptical to consider alien visitation much of a real possibility. But, until you referred to it, I had never considered the racist elements in the assumption that "primitive" cultures certainly couldn't do X or Y.<br /><br />Thanks.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632403085700385885noreply@blogger.com
