Thinking the the Mayans had some mysterious knowledge that modern science has missed is laughable.

the mayans werent talking about an actual physical end to the world, but a dramatic shift in how we think, interact etc. it's already happening.

not being able to ask the Mayans, we only have speculation as to what they were actually talking abt, no?

RR, you seem predisposed to accept anything not mainstream. Isn't that more dangerous than being a sceptic? Oh and if it's not why are you such a sceptic with regard to mainstream science?

Yet your reading comprehension sucks...lol I said predisposed to accept which does not say you do accept anything. It only says you appear to be much more likely to. You have argued for the paranormal which makes mainstream science look infallible. You have argued for psychics which make mainstream science look God like in it's infallibility. You have argued that oil renews rapidly enough to supply our needs...need I go on?

ONOH, any mainstream science or institution seems suspect to you. Just wonder why the suspicion isn't universal?

I would contend it means you are biased just like most of us. You tend to accept that which more closely resembles your views.

It does not mean your reading, studying and/or thinking is done more often or is somehow better than the reading, studying and/or thinking done by those who have come to accept the mainstream after considering the alternatives. There are those who blindly accept on either side of any argument just as there are those who inform themselves.

I did not say you were responsible for anything other than your own thoughts and actions.

Virtually every piece of evidence for either view on any subject has been addressed by the other side in my experience, and if it hasn't been, it soon will be.

For example, your contention that climate change on other plants disproves the theory that mankind is influencing weather patterns here has been addressed quite well, yet you state it as fact. Not all planets are warming and for some of those that are we have far too little data (long years could mean simple seasonal changes) to determine the reason. The sun, the one constant between planets, has not shown a trend toward brightening over the last 60 years.

I couldn't disagree more. Subjects that "mainstream" decides, for whatever reason to not address are ridiculed no end in the media. The only "place" they may get some serious exposure is in the "conspiracy" format. The "average" person usually has no time or inclination to research topics and therefore presented with a one-sided "proper" view, accept it. Control of the public airwaves is around 90%.

Number one Shakey I did not say that climate change on other planets disproves the theory mankind is influencing weather patterns here. In fact I have said exactly the opposite. The data for planets in this solar system (warming, cooling or stationary ) are as accurate as for this earth's core samples which not all so called experts agree on either.

Further, the sun is not a constant and has shown significant patterns of change just in the last years.

Global warming is a fact, BUT, not the way the elite (Al Gore, etc.) are telling it. Blaming it on us earth dwellers is the biggest bunch of hooey. ALL THE PLANETS ARE WARMING, MELTING ICE CAPS, ETC., on the planets that have them. The same as is happening here. Carbon Footprint, yeh, another big fired scheme to make some money off the peons. However, what an opportunity to make some more $$$$$$$$$$$ off the little guy. Why is it always a fact that "the other side" of the story, other facts, are given little or no coverage. Or are ridiculed in what meager press they may get. A lot of topics fall in that category. What may surprise you is that with a little more reading, research, those hypothesis hold merit too. Global warming, our fault, yeh right. Then cool off Mars, Pluto, etc.

Psychics and the paranormal came from your posts on this board just like every other point I've made regarding your theories by quoting you directly. I have addressed the issues. You just don't want to look at contrary evidence.

FYI I don't give a damn what the bible says since I don't buy what it's selling. Oh and if you don't want rude, don't start with the tude dude.
