I Present

[Timo]

The Truth

[lefty_monster]

Timo's gone off the deep end. No sudden movements, people.

[Timo]

think about it... it makes sense...

[Nicksmom]

As long as it makes sense to you

[Rabid Monk]

And I thought the Young-Earth Creationists, who claim a 6000 year old Earth, were odd.

Now you're saying the world is 1500 years old?

How do people reconcile this with known ancient civilizations living 10,000 or more years ago?

[parrythis]

Heh - When he said he was presenting "the truth", I thought he was going to show us a photo of himself taking up epee!

[noodle]

if you actually take the time to read up on this (i saw a show on it once), its pretty interesting and plausible.

but at this point in time, its only plausible, there's no solid evidence to support it, and enough to reasonably contradict it. of course, the standard argument for NC would be that the evidence to contradict NC is part of the conspiracy. but until someone can show proof of a conspiracy, its an impossibility for actual academic recognition.

but interesting, nonetheless.

[KidLazy]

There are some crazy people still believe Earth is flat.
Timo's crazyness dwarfs them all.

I like the quote at the end of the article:

It is surprising, to say the least, that a well-known (Dutch) publisher could produce an expensive book of such doubtful intellectual value, of which the only good word that can be said is that it contains an enourmous amount of factual historical material, untidily ordered, true; badly written, yes; mixed-up with conjectural nonsense, sure; but still, much useful stuff. For the rest of the book is absolutely worthless. It reminds one of the early Soviet attempts to produce tendentious science (Lysenko!), of polywater, of cold fusion, and of modern creationism. In brief: a useless and misleading book.

No, it's not even plausible.

Translation: It's implausible.

It's a load of hooey.

To believe such a theory, you have to completely ignore empirical evidence garnered from dating techniques. Even relative dating. No, they buried this stuff in older earth on purpose to mislead us!

Sometimes, you just can't shake your head enough.

[Timo]

[Inquartata]

No. But a paint mixer could.

[Timo]

they don't actually exist.

Timo has been lied to quite a bit lately. I think therapy is in order.

[Inquartata]

Just say no to solipsism!
