Aliens From The Past and Look at that Fuckin Hair

It would sure be fun to wander the Earth with a crazy haircut and a horribly out of date brown suit all the while sporting an unhealthy looking spray on tan. It would even more fun to do all this while making what has to be a healthy sum of money "working" on a far out television program. That is just what one Giorgio A. Tsoukalos gets to do for a living.
For the uninitiated, Giorgio is one of the numerous half mad commentators on the excellent Ancient Aliens program. His hair, tan, and suit are the butt of jokes. Anyway, what these guys (including George Noory) do is visit ancient sites and come up with new theories about their origin, purpose, etc. etc. Of course their investigations always lead them to the conclusion that space creatures are behind everything. This goes against the grain of mainstream "science" to be sure and it would be quite easy to discount these ancient alien theorists as nutcases, but damn it, some of their theories make some sense. It certainly can't be denied that mainstream science does not have the answer to everything. The modern day scientist knows way less about any given subject than they think I would wager.   When all is said and done it will probably be discovered that Steven Hawking was about a relevant as the flat earthers of old.

I catch a lot of shit for watching Ancient Aliens from my better half, but I really watch very little television at home. How could I what with some variety show broadcast near every night of the week?

The same thing can be said for some of the "ghost hunter" type programs. These people, to me, are involved in investigating real mystery and the fact that their work is discounted by those scientists in the mainstream probably makes their work even more important. The problem is that these shows have become kind of a fad and this may dilute some of the real work being done. It also opens the door for fraud most likely.

I used to watch one of those "Bigfoot" programs a good bit but they are less interesting now that it is proven that Bigfoot does indeed exist. Unfortunately it has also been discovered that they can speak. This specimen was photographed in her environment most recently.

Scientists Can Tend To Be Arrogant Pricks

Have you ever noticed that there are things in this world that are unexplained? If not you have been brain dead. Have you ever noticed that "science" often has a very rational explanation for some phenomena and you know in your heart that said explanations are just malarky? Of course you have. Let us take the major oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico for instance. This appeared on surface to be a major environmental disaster of epic proportions. Now that the spill has apparently  (for now) for the most part been capped (or whatever) there is little oil to be found. "Scientists" are "baffled" as to the reason for this. Is it possible that the warm waters of the region or the currents have somehow allowed the oil to dissipate? Who knows for sure, but apparently this, at least so far, has not been the unbelievable environmental disaster that we were told it would be. Did you believe any of it for a minute? I must admit that I did. I thought that this would ruin the fishing and the various states' coastline for perhaps generations. I am no scientist however. Could it be that practitioners and worshipers of science have again gotten it wrong?
Global warming or climate change, whatever you may want to call it, is another issue that science seems to really not be sure about. There is no consensus. The "debate" is not over, Al. Neither Al Gore, respected scientists, or Rush Limbaugh really have a clue if "climate change" is real, a temporary phenomena, a shift in Earth's weather pattern, etc.etc. If modern scientists can not even accurately predict the track of a hurricane, then they certainly are not to be taken seriously on the climate change issue.
Have you ever seen the television series Ghost Hunters? I actually prefer Ghost Hunters International but that is a different subject. At any rate  - Do you think that those practitioners of modern science take the investigations of the television series' finding seriously? Again I am sure there would be debate into methodology, equipment usage, etc, etc, yadda yadda yadda. I would imagine that paranormal (ie ghosts, demons, etc) investigators are placed in the same category by modern scientists as UFO investigators, Big Foot hunters, and a host of other people and groups that investigate subjects out of the norm. The preceding subjects probably make the mainstream science world nervous. Probably many mainstream religious practitioners, for completely different reasons, are even more disturbed by such evidence as presented, for all of us to see, on the television. That is a different subject altogether however. You see, the reason that scientists tend to discount "laymen" findings on any subject is nothing more than fear and arrogance. It is along the same lines as a history professor or archaeologist becoming dismissive and indeed quite angry when other angles or theories, outside of the mainstream, are advanced.
I am not saying that there has not been a vast amount of scientific advancement, particularly in the last century - there has. What I am saying is that the scientific community, as a whole, does not know near as much as they would like us to think they do. They don't even know as much as they themselves think they do.  If any of you have seen a terminally ill relative die a painful death from cancer, then you would know in your heart that in many respects scientists don't, as they say, "know shit."
