Ancient Aliens DEBUNKED (it's "entertainment", not a valid science documentary)

[CavaliersFTW]

Ancient Aliens needed to be debunked?


I think it's hilarious and golden entertainment, but the credibility of that show is lower than the Jerry Springer show.

People believe it is true in real life.

Heck, my own family watches ghost shows and that long island medium garbage and they think it's real. I see facebook updates about that long island medium fraud all the time, women love that lady for some reason. Her charisma is all they need to be convinced she is the 'real thing'. Ancient Aliens is the same thing, people buy into the charisma and passion of the guys on the show. Nobody actually tests or has any understanding what is being said, so they just believe it, it must be true it's on the history channel right?

How are pyramids helpful for anything? Those aliens wanted to create more jobs in ancient Egypt?

Well, maybe more the testing us idea then. We spend a lot of time doing animal behavior tests. Could be similar.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows that the show is assumptious.

human/primate behavior... why would Aliens be exhibiting human/primate behavior in the first place? Again, this brings me right back to people who can't conceptualize what it even takes to be some sort of life form. The people who believe in Aliens anthropormophise the entire concept. They look like us, they think like us etc... uh, who's to say an 'alien' form of life would even have a cellular structure, or even ANY kind of intelligence for that matter? Would it even be based on DNA? Let alone posess tissue and mass and bilateral symetry and 2 eyes 2 nostril a mouth, 2 hands 2 feet an upright posture and an intellectual capacity that parallels our own way of thinking?

You haven't ventured very far outside the box. Think critically here.

Whose to say they wouldn't have a humanoid body structure?

Love that show

You were questioning their reasoning for having us build pyramids a moment ago. You were presenting it as not logical based on our human conceptions of logic, so you are just as guilty as me and everybody else. If they came here and built shit or taught us to build shit, their reasoning could be anything ranging from something similar to what we would do to something we have never considered.

[flipogb]

the tv show suggest that the aliens created us or shaped our form in some way, its not suggesting that they came here and found people with similar body structures

[CavaliersFTW]

Whose to say they wouldn't have a humanoid body structure?

Virtually insurmountable odds.

How old is the known universe? How long has the earth existed as a ball of lifeless rock... how long until chemical sludges and oozes loosely formed together to create RNA ...how long did it take for RNA to become DNA? How long before the first cellular organisms existed? How long was life nothing but single celled organisms ...how long before life became multi-cellular ...how long before life became larger than the size of a bacteria...

I haven't even gotten into the age of incredibly complex organisms with spines and brains and limbs and sh*t, do you know what kind of timescales we are talking here? And do you know how 'slow' the speed of light travels to cover the vast distances of the universe? Odds that life can form elsewhere in some way or another? Let alone be intelligent enough for interstellar travel, let alone be able to recognize and find other life on other celestial bodies? Let alone look like HUMANS that took a couple billion years of totally unique evolutionary pressures that by no means could likely be duplicated in the same manner elsewhere!? Incredibly low odds that if life exists elsewhere, it would even resumble a slug or a dandelion on earth let alone a human.

The universe is so huge and there could be existence way beyond what we are aware of. With a universe so huge, it is likely that life takes place elsewhere. If life does exist elsewhere, it is probably in many many locations. If there are tons of different locations, there could be millions of species that are beyond our imagination, as well as potentially millions of species that we could liken to things similar to what we see here on Earth. There could therefore be tons of primate/humanoid type creatures (stand on back legs, have arms and a head). If any of those are super intelligent they could want to explore the universe and study it, and could potentially want to study other primate/humanoids of the universe, which is would explain why they came here (or whatever reasons they have beyond what we have considered).

The chance of winning the lottery on a single ticket is one in 175 million, doesn't mean it can't happen.

Chance of you being born is 1 in 10^2,640,000.

Just because it's unlikely doesn't mean it can't happen.

Always gravitating back to humanoids

[Myth]

Always gravitating back to humanoids

Always failing to consider that in our giant universe that other humanoids are possible

And the conversation at hand was about humanoids, so of course I was talking about humanoids
