Science - how Accurate?

[FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]
handprint.jpg
Fossils, as we learned in grade school, appear in rocks that were formed many thousands of years ago. Yet there are a number of fossils that just don't make geological or historical sense. A fossil of a human handprint, for example, was found in limestone estimated to be 110 million years old. What appears to be a fossilized human finger found in the Canadian Arctic also dates back 100 to 110 million years ago. And what appears to be the fossil of a human footprint, possibly wearing a sandal, was found near Delta, Utah in a shale deposit estimated to be 300 million to 600 million years old.[/FONT] [/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]
metal_tube.jpg
Humans were not even around 65 million years ago, never mind people who could work metal. So then how does science explain semi-ovoid metallic tubes dug out of 65-million-year-old Cretaceous chalk in France? In 1885, a block of coal was broken open to find a metal cube obviously worked by intelligent hands. In 1912, employees at an electric plant broke apart a large chunk of coal out of which fell an iron pot! A nail was found embedded in a sandstone block from the Mesozoic Era. And there are many, many more such anomalies.[/FONT] [/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]What are we to make of these finds? There are several possibilities: [/FONT][/FONT]

  • [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
    [*][FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Intelligent humans date back much, much further than we realize.
    [*][FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Other intelligent beings and civilizations existed on earth far beyond our recorded history.[/FONT]
    [*][FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica]Our dating methods are completely inaccurate, and that stone, coal and fossils form much more rapidly than we now estimate.[/FONT]    [/FONT]    [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]In any case, these examples - and there are many more - should prompt any curious and open-minded scientist to reexamine and rethink the true history of life on earth.[/FONT]

Would an intellectually honest scientist plagiarize from the internet?

Goodness knows!

Though I remember seeing a film when I was quite young which could well explain it all!!:p

In the film, there were a couple of guys who desperately wanted to make a blockbuster movie. Short on funds, they resorted to a mad scientist friend of theirs who said that he had managed to make a time machine.

They used it, and lo and behold, it worked! So, instead of having enormous sets made up, with hunderds of actors, they simply went into the past to "real time film" historical battles, at the cost of only the recording of the events.

There was one anomalie, however, when one of the guys dropped an empty coke can and couldn't find it; of course, it was discovered a thousand years later; you can imagine the comotion!:D

"Out of Place Metal Objects" and "Imposable Fossils" are often the result of mistaken interpretation, wishful thinking, or just plain bad science (pseudoscience). Most have been proven to be hoaxes, while others lack any evidence of the extreme claims laid upon them.

Remember, it is not up to anyone to debunk outrageous claims, (although it is fun) it is up to the one making the claim to prove it.

It isn’t a human handprint. You can blame Carl ‘lying for Jesus’ Baugh for that one. Why is that people who present evidence of this type never ever back-up their claims by submitting to peer-review. O that’s right, lying for Jesus syndrome.

What are we to make of these finds?

Since you entitled this thread ‘Science-How Accurate?’ I assume you are looking for the opinion of the scientific community on these finds. One way to obtain that is to actually allow the scientific community to have a look at these artefacts. That would be what I would do, but then again I’m not lying for Jesus like Carl ‘lying for Jesus’ Baugh.

Or, more simply, to question the motivations and methods of those who are willing to engage in intellectual dishonesty for their own agenda.

Hey guys - I just found it on the internet and thought it would make an interesting post. As to being true or not, I don't know. "plagiarizing" isn't that where you copy someones writing and try to pass it off as YOUR OWN. I figured it was obvious that it was copied from a website, I'll post a link for now on.

Have I mentioned how much I love these collections of frauds and simulacrum.... Always worth a giggle. :jiggy:

Ica stones! :woohoo:
Only someone who has never studied dinosaurs would think that is what they looked like. They are very pretty frauds though, I commend the artist.

Wow, I used to find this stuff facinating. Planet Nibiru, faces on mars, crystal skulls, chariots of the Gods. Great stuff! But then I discovered girls and I pretty much lost interest. ;)

I was really into this stuff for a long time as well... I still find it interesting from an anthropological standpoint.
How and why people accept wacky things... a need for mystery? a need to protect deeply held faith? faulty woo-detectors and a lack of critical thinking skills?

Hardly a conniption... just tired of having to refute the same old silly frauds over and over again.
Especially when anyone actually interested in the truth can find the refutations of these things easily available on the internet.

Because they're fun. Sometimes I miss the days when we could wonder if there really was a civilization lurking under the clouds of Venus like Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote about. Or lost worlds in South America like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about. Ah, those were the days of high adventure.
