Great Unconformity

[JohnEmmett]

How would you know if any of it is fact?

because the ruins of Atlantis have been found and verified

 

[JohnEmmett]

No, my highly objective evaluation.

seems highly subjective to me

 

[Subduction Zone]

I have supernatural experiences


I would guess… you do not

I am betting that you merely believe that. That is quite common. But when tested they tend to have natural explanations. You should ask yourself how you would properly test your experiences. Without proper testing they are not of any real merit.

because the ruins of Atlantis have been found and verified

A YouTube video does not qualify as evidence. If it really happened you could find a peer reviewed article supporting this claim.

seems highly subjective to me

That is only because you have refused to learn what is and what is not evidence. You will not even discuss the concept. As a result you will not be able to tell the difference between subjective and objective.

only German currency is valuable??

No, for archaeological claims one goes to archaeological sources. One does not go to deluded people that cannot support their claims.

you believe… in evolution


never questioning that belief

because the ruins of Atlantis have been found and verified

That's not a finding. That's not verification. That's not even evidence. That's supposition.

 

[JohnEmmett]

That's not even evidence.

you are obsessed with evidence

 

[Gene2memE]

you are obsessed with evidence

Yes, I like to have sufficient cause to hold a belief. Don't you?

 

[JohnEmmett]

I like to have sufficient cause to hold a belief. Don't you?

well your existence here on this rock is evidence of a kind

 

[Subduction Zone]

you believe… in evolution


never questioning that belief

Incorrect. I know that life is the product of evolution since I can support it with endless evidence. But that claim is typical by people that only have beliefs and do not understand evidence. Evidence is what allows us to understand which claims are likely to be true and those which are likely to be false. When you cannot find any reliable evidence for your beliefs they are very likely to be wrong.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Incorrect.

humanity could be older than the earliest apes


hence evolution could be misguided

I can support it with endless evidence.

evolution is fine with animals…

People are animals. You are an animal. I am assuming that you are not a plant or a fungus. And you are still an ape. How could mankind predate apes?

 

[JohnEmmett]

People are animals. … How could mankind predate apes?

humanity has humanity and animals don't


perhaps humans were on Venus before Earth


I don't know our origin…

 

[Subduction Zone]

I don't know our origin…

That is one amazing circular argument that proves nothing. And no, people were not an Venus. You are I are descended from apes. That is why we are still apes. Our DNA does not lie.

 

[JohnEmmett]

Venus was a temperate world long ago, with seas that persisted for eons — perhaps 2 billion years or more, according to recent modeling research.

Venus may therefore have been a habitable planet "for much of solar system history," astrobiologist David Grinspoon, a senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, said

You do not understand your own sources. There may have been a possibility for life some time ago on Venus. But they do not mean complex life. It does not appear to have had enough time for complex life to have evolved and that life would be very alien to Earth's life.

Have you ever considered working on some basic reasoning skills?

So what?

 

[JohnEmmett]

Have you ever considered working on some basic reasoning skills?

I'm asking you to consider things


you appear to use science to close your mind


science should bring up possibilities
