Where ever you look for it...
Nope, not in my underpants... luckily, I might add.
They say if you look for something long enough, you'll eventually find it.
While you are looking for them, keep a lookout for:
- A cure-all; for AIDS, cancer, age etc.
- The winning lottery numbers
- A horse that flies.
The thing with skeptics is that they start with the notion that these things aren't real.
Nope. They start with the notion that these things are not proven.
So when 'they' look upon ancient artwork or through historical texts, they don't see 'evidence', they see myth, story, fiction...
But luckily Von Daniken, the hotel guy did see it...
The thing is, that in science, evidence needs to be verifyable. And repeatably so.
We also have:
- The bible, the tora, the koran etc. Do they constitute proof of one or more gods to you?
- Unless the ancient artwork is accompanied by a letter on how to interpret it, it is pretty hard to get 'it' right.
I challenge you to spend an afternoon with me in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. Even though these works are perfectly documented and all the little details are quite easily visible, I doubt that you will interpret even one correctly.
Art is an incredibly more complex subject than 'I see it therefore it must mean such and so'.
Try doing Duchamp or Koons.
'They' litter our historical record, and there are some today that say they too have 'seen' those that remain unseen to the masses.
Some... unseen to the masses...
What is different from religion and the 'miracles' and apparitions there?
And 'they' do not. 'They' do not exist. There, I said it.
Evidence is in the eye of the beholder.
No it is not. That is just trying to mold the word into what you want it to be.
Fantasy is in the eye of the beholder. Evidence is when it can be verified more than once by more than one unknown-beforehand party.
I say we are pretty unknown to you, so where do we verify?
