RE: OT - Were The Ancient Gods Aliens?
Ancient Aliens is interesting tv, but that's about it. The producers are never keen on interviews with a scientific rebuttal. In the late 90's, I got hooked on Art Bell and 'In Search of..' reruns, as it was entertaining to imagine such things. Then, I got into the works of guys like Michio Kaku (when I first heard him on Coast-to-Coast) and Neil deGrasse Tyson, guys who made the workings of the universe and life easy to understand. Now, I see Linda Moulton Howe and George Noory on AA and it's sad. AA 'theory' is no different than myth, religion, and astrology. They leap-frog to a conclusion without evidence, then try to back-track to find evidence, which isn't science. It's even more sad when they try to link Biblical 'events' to AA 'events'.
All "belief", like emotions, 'good and evil', hope, myth, superstition, are just chemical reactions in our noggins, based on our genetics and environment. They are learned through one's culture. In our culture, there are many people who either don't accept or understand science, in many cases not accepting we are basically no different than any other life form. They think there are massive questions that need answering, when in fact science has covered most of the 'big questions'. The brain still puzzles us, as does what happened prior to the Big Bang, and developing a unified theory for all forces. But things like ''What is the meaning of life?" and 'Where did we come from?", and 'How did civilizations do such amazing things?' are answered...some people just don't like the answers.
