WE LIVE ON A PLANET: YES, this is pool related

Sorry, my lifetime is too short for such a thing. If they want to convince me, take up the $1M offer to prove it. Under scientifically sound procedures. Else I won't even waste another second on it. There are zillions of such theories and every time they are challenged by scientists they back off.







Yep. So, what does that prove? The book which is the basis of the religion is the proof? I bet the Quran, Torah and many other holy books would claim the same.



Or have at look at it in another way. What would have happened if you had been born 2100 years ago. You could not have been a Christian, right? So, you would have probably been either a follower of Judaism, Zoroastrianism or maybe a believer in Roman or Viking gods, right? And you would have told me back then that the belief you held was the only right and true one.



And sorry, a UFO researcher does not make anything more credible. On the contrary.



Please, don't feel offended. I don't want to smear your beliefs. But please do not claim they are the only valid ones. Everyone has their own beliefs. Mine are based on what science currently states and I do know that science is not even in it's infancy yet, compared to what might be discovered. But some basic principles of science held for thousands of years and make sense insofar as they can be applied to my daily needs - like playing pool :-)

I'm not offended at all. Prior to Jesus, I think that people will be judged according to their knowledge of good and bad.

Trust me, I have reasons for everything that I believe. The atheist UFO researcher became a Christian only after his research found that only the name of Jesus had the power to stop alien abductions. If the name of any other person would have worked, then I wouldn't be making the claim.

I should point out that it's not just the UFO researcher. He has many witnesses in that video that explain what happened to them and how the name of Jesus worked.

In the end, it's up to each of us to prove to ourselves what we are going to believe and why. I'm just telling you what I have come to understand and I obviously have no problem explaining why I believe what I believe.

I think the best defense against alien abductions is to be sane and sober. That tends to reduce the risk quite a lot, it seems.

Also, if you find yourself at the mercy of evil doers or the elements, the best advice is to save your breath and try to escape, with all your might. The graves are full of people who prayed instead of running

What I don't get is people making light of UFOs and aliens when I posted the link to the very credible interviews on the Sirius Disclosure YouTube channel many times. Unless everyone is just lazy, just watch as many of those interviews as possible and you will have ZERO doubt.

I have tons of doubt, and I have watched interviews with abductees. People can lie incredibly convincingly, and have done so throughout history. Some are plain insane and believe their own delusions. I think it's all a bunch of nonsense. Once you start on a journey of scientific scepticism, you realize that the world is full of liars. Once you start digging, you realize that there is nothing there.

There is NO evidence that can be independently verified of ANYONE being abducted by aliens. Therefore, the rational thing to do is to believe the null hypothesis until such proof is produced.

I give it about 500 years. One nuclear war to wipe out most technology. Then a couple of plagues and ecological disasters and we're done. We've got the very best people in charge now, to make sure that nothing is done about global warming or climate change, if you prefer. Just full throttle on the Humvees and spewing out plastic until the point of no return is reached. Then the wars for the remaining resources begin. A nuke here, a nuke there, then a thermonuclear holocaust. Survivors will be back in the middle ages again. Thanks to the good folks in India not wanting to defecate indoors or clean anything, the plague virus has been kept alive and well. It will make its rounds. With no more medicine to help us, the results will be like in the dark ages. Of course other viruses will take over, and now there is no unpolluted ground on which to rebuild and much less genetic diversity (because of the wars), so less chance to have people with resistance. We won't last until the ground is once again clear of radiation. Exit mankind. Good riddance.I sure hope the next race that takes over is smarter and better than us.

Quite the ray of sunshine are you! lol. I know you should be forgiven because you, I think, are a Brit and you've been indoctrinated, but don't get me started on the climate change crap (hint: Your "scientific skepticism" should be applied to all kinds of religion, including climate change). Sofla didn't fare very well in that discussion. I'm still chasing him around the forums with my charts trying to get a straight answer from him. :D

On the other hand, you're a heck of a knowledgeable straight pool player so I always pay attention to your posts on that subject!

Except I'm not talking about the abduction video. I'm talking about the scores of military men coming forward to be interviewed about their encounters with UFOs. Go to Sirius Disclosure YouTube channel, go to Videos, and sort by Oldest First, and start watching. Then, report back.

Sorry, but this is not pool related. Some pool players believe in Scientology, but that doesn't make Scientology pool related. If you persist in such logic, you should pardon those who believe the earth is flat.

I very much agree. Not pool-related.:angry:
 
Show of hands.... how many think Lost_His_Grip is serious and how many think he (or she, let's be inclusive;)) is pulling our collective leg?

Too much mastery of his subjects to be a troll - he’s serious(ly out there).

pj <- we have a collective leg?

I'm out after this post. This is just too crazy.

Please, just use everything you have been taught in the past and what you experienced in your life.

Abductions by aliens, over and over again? Why would a far superior race (which they obviously would be having the means to travel to our planet) abduct zoo animals like us over and over again? Yes, they might collect a few specimen and display them in their own zoos, make a couple of experiments with them. Once. Granted. But staying here and collecting the same dumb species over and over again would really prove their own stupidity - which contradicts the fact how they got here in the first place.

And then - those inferior animals called the human race about to be abducted would shout "Jesus" and those superior beings would immediately stop their evil deeds? Jesus! - does this help me from becoming infected with a bout of stupidity?

Imagine we could talk to chimps in a rainforest. Imagine they had their own deity. Imagine they would shout their deity's name to keep us from abducting them and locking them up in a zoo. Yep, we sure would stand in awe and leave them alone. Ferchrissake.

You know, all those theories are supported by 2 kinds of people.

a) the smart ones. They write books, provide lectures and so on. They make big bucks and just sit in their palaces and yachts to laugh their a***s off.

b) the not so smart ones. They buy all those books with all those hilarious theories. Maybe even donate to their causes. And lose money and sanity in the process.

If they did the triangulation correctly, they should have gotten a distance equal to what the Round Earthers say is the radius of the Earth, which is about 4000 miles. The stars have to be about the same distance away and so are all very, very small. And Mars is about half a mile across -- you can measure the angular diameter of Mars with a relatively small telescope, if you believe in telescopes and don't think they are simply radio-controlled TV screens.

One problem with claiming that the Moon is so close: you can bounce radio waves off the Moon and measure the round trip time. You can independently measure the speed of radio waves (which is equal to the speed of light, since radio is just a low-frequency kind of light). With those two measurements, you figure the distance to the Moon. (This technique is called "radar".)

Another problem: if you measure the diameter of the Moon when it is straight overhead and then again when it is nearly setting, it is very, very close to the same. This is hard to explain in the FE universe because in the second case it is much farther away.

We had the FE society in the 60's. They would come on TV shows and argue their case but they always had trouble keeping a straight face because they knew they were FOS. No one took them seriously, not even themselves. It was all tongue and cheek. Suddenly the world got dumber and people began to take them seriously and this is where we are today.I wont be back in this thread.

Another take on what you're saying. I've always been a person that needs to know things that I'm not supposed to know. To figure things out, no matter how absurd the conclusions might be.

Since I retired, I have had a lot of free time to look into various things. The true purpose of our lives has been the main goal for me. As it turns out, one of the biggest hidden things that I found out that needs to be unraveled, is the true history of life here on Earth.

We've been lied to about earth's history. Although the Bible talks about giants existing, there is much detail that that Bible in silent on. Remote viewing can fill in those blank spots so we can find out the details of what really went on, including details of the Biblical stories.

What I have found to be true. Aliens and UFOs have interacted with man throughout our entire history, but much more directly in the past. They planned, designed, and did most of the building of the pyramids around the world. The were involved with Moses receiving the Ten Commandments. They directly were involved in the parting of the Red Sea, sending the plagues to earth, and many other things.

These other beings ARE IN FACT the angels described in the Bible. That was a big eye opener to me, because most Christians believe that "aliens" are all demons.

There is a difference between being open minded and just blindly believing something that goes against the norm.

I highly regard your insights, Bob. Now, if you are right, my belief in sanity, the human race in general and pool players in detail would be restored :-)

Knowing one or two conspiracy theory believers in person I still have my doubts. I think he might still be serious about all this ....

I did not want to add to this thread any more but the possibility that all of this might be leg pulling would change my view of the world to the better [big grin]

I would immediately admit that I am the dummy who fell for the April Fool's Day Joke in early October.
