This is not regarding ancient alien B.S. theories, but if you don't open your eyes and want to go that route, beware, we all might end up dealing with holy inquisition courts and witch hunts once again and pretty soon...

How have I missed out on this, LOL(rubs hands together)...
1. Religion - Metaphors, Parables and Fiction written as a guide on how to live ones life, ordained and written by a select few as a means to cater for the many. Problem - writings are so open in their interpretation, they are often used to fuel mankinds worst moments (Crusades, World War Two, Bosnia, Extremists etc.)
2. Science - Evidence, Observations and Records meant to reveal the universal truths of the universe and all within, studied and taught by a select few as a means to educate the many. Problem - Theories, ideas with no foundation can be considered "proven" through selected criteria, debunking criteria that disproves the Theory.
3. Ancient Aliens - Artefacts, Writings and Beliefs meant to fill in the gaps of our understanding both in the past and the present. Problem - Most AA subjects of interest can be explained away by scientific means, but a select few remain unexplained and unexplainable without AA.
My belief is that Religion is well intended but often abused by manipulation of its texts, Science is the search for truth but is often used to maintain/create ones position within the elite scientific community and Ancient Aliens tries to explain the mysteries of religion with the principles of science, but often resorts to the grounds of science fiction.

why would we lock it? just cause someone doesn't agree? You guys are completely free here to express your views and opinions, no worries, not taking anything personally at all, just how i see things and how you guys see things and as long as we respect each other there is no reason to worry.
@ Knorbuffel...
If you are truly having trouble understanding what I wrote I can suggest a good English course for you...do let me know. LOL.

I don't believe religion and science are mutually exclusive at all. The idea that you have to choose one or the other is a false choice. To me science is a pursuit of truth and that in no way diminishes my belief in God, rather it enhances it. I think it's very important for people to keep an open mind, but that applies to both religious and non-religious people.
Also it was mentioned that religion celebrates mankinds differences- true to an extent, but peace and love are also central to many relgions. Sadly, mankind can take what is good and turn it into something evil. We can use just about anything to divide us, religion, science, politics, whatever. Anyway, I don't see celebrating differences as inherently bad in itself. Afterall, people are individuals. In fact, viewing people as individuals rather than groups would be greatly benificial. That doesn't mean we shouldn't celebrate what we have in common and seek common ground as well. Anyway, sorry for the rant. Doesn't have much directly to do with the movie, but I figured I'd give my two cents.

Thanks man, I call it as I see it - I don't follow any religion, I don't idolize science and AAT is merely a possibility that [u]may[/u] explain elements of the first with ideas from the second.
Don't get me wrong, I believe in God, afterlife, heaven and hell, Aliens, Black Holes, Wormholes (grey holes IMO, but that's another discussion) etc. I have an open mind, just not a gullible one.

I Just Love the way you put it all, that's PERFECT MAN !!!
you Articultaed that PERFECTLY !
Holes...that's funny...
April 04, 2012
all religion is a load of bs......the is no god or gods.....ppl just can't take the fact that when your dead the is no after life your just dead...as soon as the the humen race grows up and put religion in its place were it belongs in the bin the beter we will all be.......
April 04, 2012
mw3, there is no fact that when your dead there is no afterlife your just dead, just as much as there is no fact there is an afterlife. We can't prove either, you'll just have to find out after you die what the facts are as we all will.
However if there's an afterlife I get to tell you I told you so! LOL
April 04, 2012
well said MW3. Not saying that's how I would put it, but you stated that very well and it's "Provocative"...I Like it a lot.

"I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What god desires is here
[points to head] and here [points to heart] and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man - or not"

religious fanatics and die hard materialistic scientists are both shitty..
afterlife..well, that is nothing new, I guess every culture has reports about out-of-body-experiences and more..

Ancient aliens???? come on.....
I reject god claims because god is irrational and unproven. And I reject ancient aliens because that theory is completly unfounded and unproven.
Just... stop watching history channel please. That channel is poison to the minds of our youth.
