Creation & Evolution Together: ytzk's challenge answered

Man, you crazy...

 

If you know so much, tell me how the ancients moved those stones. You think the ancient humans were any different from us? They all loved easy things. They all created easier ways to do shit. You want to make cheap jewelry look nicer? Oh, well how about electroplating some gold on that bitch. Turns out, if you suspend any two different metals in an electrolyte, they'll generate an electric charge. There was plenty of iron and copper going around the middle east about 2500 years ago. There were also plenty of grapes. Grape juice is an electrolyte. Oh, and I forgot, the middle east is full of clay and sand. What encased the iron, copper, and grape juice? Clay. That's not something you make by accident. Either someone back then was a genius who knew about electrons, or they were told by a greater, benevolent intelligence.

 

Indeed. It is a pity the whole notion of intelligent design and extra-terrestrial intervention is solely the province of zealots and lunatics.

I personally prefer the theory that such artifacts were motivated by religious fervour and theocratic priesthoods, just like the incredible Baroque cathedrals rising out of the miserable slums of europe.

There is a lot of evidence supporting advanced civilisations in prehistory, and in parallel with history, but why suggest it is from another star or planet? Given the rate at which our modern population and technology has expanded in ten thousand years, it seems likely that an hundred economic/religous/cultural/scientific civilisations have risen and fallen with the ice ages over a couple of million years. Not to mention the other species of earth-life.

The distance of time is great enough already to account for a variety of influences in human history, without also adding the confounding factor of interstellar space.

 

I prefer aliens not because I'm unsure of our capabilities of ingenuity, but because I think they're cool.

 

Fucking hell! This place is like an asylum sometimes! God obviously created the pyramids!

 

Agreed. Although mammoths and monkeymen and hyperintelligent giant squid and gigantic termite hives are cool too.

 

There's no such thing as pyramids. They're a myth invented by the gays to distract us from pursuing the path of Jesus Christ.

 

Wayne, stop contradicting yourself. God did it? Gays fabricated the history of the pyramids? Come up with one story and stick to it. You didn't even try to tell me how the pyramids were made, you just farted something and called me crazy.

 

I'm gonna go with God did it, for the time being! He created the heavens and the Earth; what's a few little pyramids to him?

 

God can be aliens!

Personally, I like my creator gods to be ancient and terrible zeppelin squids from the mesosphere of Jupiter.

 

That's not an answer, because you yourself aren't invested in a deity to the extent that you would believe creation happened the way the bible says it did, and just so you know, there are over 90 "little" pyramids.
And yes, God can be aliens!
If anyone was responsible for my creation, I'd want some andromedan overmind to be it. With plently of tentacles, and four hundred vaginas. Why? Evolution.

 

We don't take kindly to God-hating blasphemy. You's goin' straight to hell, boy!

Of course I am! God wrote the Bible, like! What more proof do you need!?

 

You're so terrible at lying I'm going to bore you with my latest hallucinations, caused by nothing.
I've been seeing fractal patterns in my ceiling tiles at night before I go to bed, as well as shadows darting across the walls. Last night, there were arms coming out of my closet. I'm not looking forward to going to sleep.

 

That's the devil come to take you! Praise Jesus before it's too late!

 

Are you mad that I said you eat heartless assholes? That's the only reason I can think of for you being so obtuse.

 

I'm clearly just filled with the Spirit of the Lord!

 

Gross, WS is (1) trolling you, ie, merely trying to illicit an emotional reaction and (2) mocking Christianity.

On the matter of hallucinations, it is the waxing gibbous solstice full moon with a lunar eclipse.

Without going into mechanics, it's going to be a busy week for mental hospitals. If you can ride the swell for another week, it should subside in intensity. If symptoms persist, see your doctor.

 

Trolling and mocking aside for some moments, what does the moon, &c., have to do with hallucinations?

 

Yeah, I'm gonna need further elaboration.
