Graham Hancock - Quest for the Lost Civilization (1 of 14)

chen21 you really are a complete dufus. Don't bother commenting on science - its just a word. The people he's on about are scientists - the difference is they were tantric priests who ate the berries, then wrote down which ones made them ill. Its called Tantrism on a basic level & is as rigourous science as any hparticle smashing now etc... shamanism is scientific enlightenment. Heretic religious idiots are usually too hung up on stupid theories that are just like your comments now.

I think you positive people on this thread are saying all the right things and its encouraging... i like to think Ray Kurzweil's Singularity in particular is moving like Hancock towards the next truth level. my only TRUE belief is that we will succeed in (RE!)planting the same DNA found in the billion old 'soup' one day on our earth. That is 2001.. Michio Kaku's explanation of typeI,II,III & IV civilisations are fascinating - 4 being the DNA deciders (gods?) if you will. We are type 0.. for now

Ray Kurzweil & Graham Hancock are more crucial than any romans devices - like jesus - will ever be. Certainly idiots who haven't read around the texts that link these places, wonder why we have declining empires timewise compared to 'primitive' civilisations that lasted many thousands of years. Our culture as we know it - is how old? Some seem to be about 5 years old judging by their fear of a kind spirited & fascinating man. Immortality for Ray Kurzweil & Graham Hancock - Fukk the BBC

It is man made without a doubt. Read the epic of Gilgamesh properly & instead of getting hung up on geology too much.. correlate ACTUAL documentation & then realise all these similarities on a basic level - pyramids - but with seperate styles of communication symbollically. God is nothing more than the x & the WHY?

Graham Hancock is a great researcher. The evidence is there, right in front of us. Some of the ancient people were incredibly smart. It's human attitude and perception that is the problem. Science is great. Some scientists are not so great. We're busy building Walmarts and strip malls. The ancients built temples to last thousands of years. They watched the stars, we watch "reality TV" So who are the smart ones ?? DUH

Science cannot even prove its own tenements. The theory of evolution. The theory of the big bang. The theory of relativity. The theory of chaos.

Anyone who believes in science is making a leap of faith.

And, at the end of it all, even if science can prove any facts, it can merely tell us how; it cannot tell us why.

"Why" is an act of faith, whether it be uttered in science or in any other form of belief.

What I object to are science-fascists, who attempt to pass off theory as fact.

so in your words, theory = guess, and fact = truth?

they're not closed minded. They live by what you can test and if you can test it, its scientific.

Graham Hancock's "evidence" has been tested and proven to be downright wrong. Its only his believers who think he's right.

The evidence speaks for itself and so far he has none that supports him. You can apply all the emotional appeals you want, play the victim, declare scientists arrogant, but that still doesn't help the fact that Hancock's evidence is downright WRONG.

Yes, they are close minded, just as you have shown your self to be closed minded. Someone puts fourth an idea an you call them loons. It doesn't become anymore clear. And NO his evidence has NOT been downright proven WRONG. There are actually MANY scientists who agree with his evidence and many others who would dare even entertain it for fear of their reputation being shattered because it is such a taboo subject.

Im not playing the victim, I'm simply telling you that your view of science being perfect and without corruption and flaws is completely wrong
