I took a brief look, but I’ve never been much of a believer in Atlantis and Mu and such. I have a scientific POV, and little interest in what I, to be frank, classify as woo-woo stuff.
I also didn’t want to argue the point with a true believer, since I don’t feel any kind of a need to disprove their existence either. So I got bored and left.
No offense intended, just didn’t see how either of us would profit by continued conversation on the subject.
I realize that wasn’t particularly polite. I should have expressed my lack of interest in continued conversation on the subject. The Web, due to its anonymous nature, has a tendency to encourage less than courteous behavior.
My apologies.
No offense taken of course. My expressed sensitivity was more tongue in cheek than anything else, but you probably know that.
...just didn’t see how either of us would profit by continued conversation on the subject.
Interesting. You can not or will not be swayed by arguments presenting evidence contrary to your, er, faith??? And you have to admit your opinions on the subject are what you choose to believe as much as anything else. Scientific POV? I dunno. Regardless, I like a good debate and I CAN be swayed with compelling evidence.
Up until about fifteen years ago or so I was what I would classify an agnostic. I probably leaned towards catastrophism but didn't know what to believe and honestly didn't care much one way or the other. Furthermore I couldn't see that it really made much difference. Until I discovered malfeasance by many in the scientific community™.
I can't even begin to guess how many hundreds of hours I have spent digging, searching, studying and scratching my head in an effort to find out what was and is going on. Much of that done here on FR with the able assistance of other Freepers or spun off from FR. I even discovered that Darwin himself didn't know what to make of the obvious devastation that apparently occurred during historical times(pick an arbitrary date of, say, less than 20K years ago). It was everywhere he looked, particularly in the Americas. It seems his work was co-opted by his benefactor and mentor Charles Lyell who turned it into the uniformitarian/gradual evolutionary nonsense we see til this day. To what purpose I haven't a clue, but there it is.
Have a good day.
