I am picking up on the words “theory” and “believe”; and “atheist” which reminds me of a statement I made two months ago.
In regards to the people responsible for that website (ie. World Breaking Discoveries);
Negative connotations of the word “theory” include ‘speculation, idea formed by speculation, and hypothetical circumstances’.
Used in this manner it may seem that the information on that website is not pertinent.
The announced statements are not theories but conclusions.
A “conclusion” means
1). ‘decision based on facts’ such as ‘a decision made or an opinion formed after considering the relevant facts or evidence’;
2). ‘part of argument deduced from evidence’ such as ‘the portion of an argument for which evidence is presented’.
A positive connotation of “theory” is ‘scientific principle to explain phenomena’ as in ‘a set of facts, propositions, or principles analyzed in their relation to one another and used, especially in science, to explain phenomena’.
If the word ‘theory’ is to be used in relation to World Breaking Discoveries, then the latter is the correct meaning for the statements made on that website.
I chose to use the word ‘conclusion’ because ‘theory’ also has negative connotations.
In relation to the comment
the people who are responsible for this theory, and this website…(snip)...state plainly that they believe stories of gods and supernatural visitations in the past are just stories about time travelers
I wish to state that I do not
believe the stories are accounts of time travellers – but
conclude from the evidence that somehow, modern computer technology plus the contents of three cd-roms and some modern historical events are documented in ancient texts.
There is a difference.
Some people believe the world is flat, but it does not make them correct.
I do not
believe it is spherical, but after consideration of the presented evidence from many sources, I
conclude that it is spherical.
I hope you know what I am getting at.
Meaning of Atheist is “One who believes there is no God”.

A "theist" is someone who believes in a god of some kind.
And an "agnostic" is someone who doesn't know if god (or gods) exist or not, but doesn't care one way or the other.
For both atheists and theists - the common word is “belief”.
Belief can mean;
1). acceptance of truth of something: acceptance by the mind that something is true or real, often underpinned by an emotional or spiritual sense of certainty.
2). something that somebody believes in: a statement, principle, or doctrine that a person or group accepts as true.
3). confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof.
I personally find it hard to understand how people can ‘believe’ something without any proof.
I made the following statement back in July…
Religious people believe in God - without any evidence.
Atheists believe there is no God - without any evidence.
…then announced that two Australian researchers have unearthed definitive evidence that finally resolves the question "Is there a God ?"

Religious people cite verses in their versions of their sacred texts to affirm their belief in their God. Those verses contain stories of ancient events that have been deemed to have literally occurred as documented. Those stories form the basis for their religion and their God, and are cited as evidence of their beliefs.
But this is a form of circular reasoning - "God is real because the sacred texts document supernatural events that can only be attributed to a god".
Atheists reject this idea and, without any evidence, claim those legends are mistaken or are not of literal historical events.
But this is also a form of closed mindedness, as evidence to show the religiously presented concept as being incorrect has not been shown.
Both groups present an opinion that represents only their respective beliefs.
But opinions and beliefs do not make something true or real.
Over a 10 year period, researchers Ronald Pegg and Eddy Pengelly uncovered the primary source of the stories that pertain to describe God. In their works they disclose that:
- Evidence of modern computer technology is described in many ancient legends and texts
- Documented 'Angelic Messengers' have been recognized as technological Time Travellers
- Certain ancient people (now known as 'prophets') encountered these Time Messengers
- The Prophets mistakenly regarded these Time Messengers as gods, God, or Angels
- The prophets' stories of their encounter with 'Gods or Angels' became further distorted, and
- those supernatural legends, myths, and stories became the basis for Religious Texts.
- Over time, compiled pious texts were deemed to be absolute confirmation of a supreme God
and state:
The origins of the stories about GOD and source of the narratives portrayed in religious texts have been found.
The evidence reveals:
There was, and is no GOD - as described from religious texts.
World Breaking Discoveries has published reports concerning these discoveries on their website.

Please note that this is hosted on the "World Breaking Discoveries" website -- not sure exactly why they want to break the world (seems pretty broken already).
