Here's my problem, I believe in evolution, and it brings up doubts especially in the OT...

So, if Snopes says it's not true.......it's not true?

You rely on one site to base your belief?

Conspiracy theorist or not, everyone who believes in something, believes they know the truth. Otherwise they would not believe.

Do you believe that you know the truth?

It's bullying if you put someone down due to their belief, based on the fact that it is different than yours and you have more numbers on your side....It's easy to heckle someone when there are 6 or 7 posting along with you and one person disagreeing.

Tell me, where was I a jerk and just where was I immature?

Due to my curiosity into human psychology, it really fascinates me to see how people justify lying. You tend to see some really interesting rationalizations. This one seems to be the old "everybody lies, so what's the problem" justification.

One of the greatest wars of all time can't be found in the history books: America's amazing war against the giants.

Pawnee_giant%281%29.jpg


Native Americans and the cannibal giants

The original "Indian Wars" were not between the U.S. Calvary and Native-American tribes but between the Indian settlers and the original Native Americans: the giant red-haired cannibals.

Thousands of years ago, giants roamed the West. Their crude camps and ferocious ways terrorized the early native settlers that had wandered across the land bridge into the North American continent and traveled south and westward into what later became the West and Great Southwest of the United States.

Tribes still speak of those ancient days when their ancestors fought desperate battles against the marauding, loping giants—some towering 12-feet tall or taller–that roamed the land viciously attacking settlements, brutally carrying off screaming women and wailing children for food.

The red-haired giants stood 12-feet tall

The Paiutes, a Native-American tribe indigenous to parts of Nevada, Utah and Arizona, told early white settlers about their ancestors' battles with the ferocious race of white, red-haired giants. According to the Paiutes, the giants were already living in the area.

I have a bridge for sale. Interested?

You'll believe anything you see on the Internet. Noted.
Because every single picture, news paper article, skull, footprint.... EVERY SINGLE one,out of hundreds, on the internet is a fake. Who has the bridge for sale?

Yet snopes says it's not true and everyone just say's "case closed" .

The word "sheeple" mean anything here?

Sheesh. Some people are gullible.

JacksBratt: Half of those photos are from the Something Awful Photoshop Phriday and Worth 1000 Archaeological Anomalies photoshopping competition threads....

OF course, there is hundreds of people out there just sitting around and Photoshopping giant skulls skeletons, foot prints, newspaper articles and EVERY SINGLE ONE out there is a fake. Not one lonely one is real.

Because, if even one was real............... what a mess that would be.

What a naïve position. All of the photos can't be fakes, therefore none of them are fakes. Do you really think this argument flies?

As a Christian doesn't it annoy you when your fellow believers make your religion look idiotic?

Well but on the internet you can't even know for sure if somebody is a Christian just cause they say they are. For real I think lots of the ppl here are just trolling trying to make us look idiotic. It's what my mom said when I joined. She said to not take stuff too seriously & not just believe everything that I read.

You haven't been bullied by anybody here, mister. Get a grip. You have been told you're wrong, that the stuff you're posting in baloney, cause that's ppl telling you truth you don't wanna hear.

No, I don't just use Snopes. I already knew you were wrong b4 I even looked at it cause of common sense. Snopes confirmed it fast.

Its up to you to convince me that they are real. You're the one making the claim, so you have to substantiate it. Every single one that I have investigated was a photoshop fake or other hoax. Every single one. So, colour me skeptical over this set of claims.

I did not say that none of them were fakes. I said "if even one of them isn't what a mess that would be"

You can see hundreds of cone head skulls, and dismiss it all as a hoax, a myth, fakes. Yet "lucy" isn't even a full skull and you hold it as the gold standard.

Do you think I would post on here if I gave one sniff of being bullied or not?

I never said that I was bullied anyway. I said that when a bunch of people beat down another just because they have a different view, that is a form of bullying.

If you cannot stand being told you are wrong, or told that there are thousands of people that believe differently, or that most people think differently, you will not go far in life.

I have noticed that when you present information that may tumble a persons belief like a house of cards, they can get quite agitated.

On another note:

You already knew I was wrong because "common sense" told you that all the information that I posted was false?
Common sense told you? But common sense also tells you that life started in a puddle of mud? Lucy is truth but actual full specimens of giant skulls with double rows of teeth, are false? A foot print in rock is false? The Bible states that "there were giants in those days and even after", that Joshua and the other spies that Moses sent to the promised land "looked like grasshoppers" to the people living in the area yet you believe that evidence of biblical scripture is a fake?
David fought a giant who had four brothers yet if they were to dig up the grave you would dismiss it as a fake all due to "common sense"? oh ya,,,, and snopes. If forgot.

You should listen to your mother and not only not believe everything you read but test it, research it, investigate it and study the source..... commons sense and snopes are not going to get you through.

You have yet to tell me where I was immature or a jerk to you.

I agree with you to a certain extent, Butterfly, about trolls. However, I'm not sure what you mean by making your religion look idiotic. It's quite common for some right-wingers here to cast dispersion on anyone who does not share their views, even if he or she is Christian. I think everyone should appreciate the fact Christianity is not a monolithic religion, just one. Christianity presents a rich plurality of diverse approaches, with, of course, some conflicting with others. I look at things on a scale from liberal, at one end, to conservative , on the right. Being on the left side of the spectrum here, I am well aware that, as I said, there are always some right wingers out to blast everyone else. They just don't get the whole picture, that Christianity is far more diverse that what they see in their church.
