I know, sorry. I was waiting for my PS3 to load Red Eye Redemption and accidentally got involved.hackman wrote:thought you weren't getting involved?magma wrote:Will we all be able to settle this either way by 2013 or will that date conveniently change as we approach the time?
I take it you guys are still into the event/awakening happening in just over 2 years time?
It'd be nice if people holding these theories would devise tests to prove their validity or falsehood... that'd make them much easier to believe than clips from Hollywood movies and commercial music videos, however dilligently they've been studied - they're 2nd hand information... art that one person made and an entirely separate person who didn't even know the artist made an inferrence about - that's not really terribly reliable. It still may be true, but it's not evidence.
A sceptical brain asks a theoriser to prove their hypothesis beyond a shadow of a doubt - that's when something becomes "truth" - ... it holds as much for the Big Bang (currently held as "pretty likely", but not necessarily true) as it does for Electricity (Considered magic and worthy of sideshows in 1800, the mundanest of technologies, harnessed and understood by schoolkids in 2000) or Illuminati conspiracies.
2nd hand evidence is far too easy to find to become the basis of anything other than a faith... Christianity never convinced me and, although this sort of thing has come closer (I've even been to Icke shows!), it's still never properly convinced. I wouldn't say either was ludicrous, but I don't choose to believe either.
Surely out of all these amazing brains someone could have devised an experiment? People manage to look into the sky and work out how big and old the Universe is, people can look at the size of mountains and determine the age of the Earth... but nobody can think of a way to prove this one way or another?
I'm off to shoot some more baddies now, I promise...
I'm too broke to get it.
