I can't believe the negativity and complete close mindedness of many of the posters replying in this topic.

I was going to watch the video posted supposedly debunking ancient aliens, but when I saw how long it was
AND that it was probably funded and produced by a religious group, I said forget it.
May I ask how many of the posters in this topic believe in god and if you do, please let me know. If you have posted here criticizing the theories about ancient aliens and you're a believer in god, then you are putting your faith in something that has no definitive proof of existing as well.
Closed mindedness, would be blindly accepting the theories put forth by AA or by the Egyptian archeologists. Openmindedness, is asking questions. That's what we are doing
Just watch the segment on "The Pyramids". I think it's only about 15 mins.
It was only posted this morning that Chris White ran a religious group. I replied that it may be his motivation for debunking the AA series, because it promotes the idea of alien visitation. It doesn't mean that what he says must be true, nor is it an indication that what he is saying is false.
The video is still interesting, but the facts are presented in a "don't ask questions, just believe this" manner, which has prompted me to spend time doing my own research.
Whether or not members believe in God, has absolutely nothing to do with debunking AA or whether or not ET species exist and may have influenced ancient architecture.

At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new.
