Earth's iron is telling us that our solar system has a recent history to it. This notion that nothing happens to Earth for millions or billions of years is comforting. Both data + human testimony argue against that.
In the real world, normal people do not care if ancient stones were cast. They might think it's a strange idea, but there is certainly room for debate over how structures were created. The notion that Stone Age people were more proficient than we realize w stone is reasonable.
Form your own opinion about things by learning what they are. Do not let others define your personal opinion. Think through what is being suggested. Does it make sense? Does it fit w other things I know for a fact are true? Or, do I need to question something I believe?
Navigating scientific controversies is not difficult, but it is made difficult by the bad habits of thinking we are taught. Most people have far too much confidence about their worldview when in fact they did not really put too much effort into forming it.
@idontexistTore The truth of the matter is that one of the founders became extremely defensive when he was asked where the funding for The Wellness Company comes from. That should bother MAGA tremendously, since some of the people involved are former Blackwater (MIC types).
@idontexistTore Tore might not like my take on this, but my own personal judgment is that the purpose in funding TWC was to create a limited hangout where nobody questions the bedrock of virology. It turns out that Louis Pasteur, the father of germ theory, was a fraud.
Ten Things that Scientists Get Completely Wrong About Mythology
1. "The greatest contribution of [the pioneers of comparative mythology] is their acknowledgement that the common view - seeing myth as random absurdity - will not suffice to explain the layers of coherence."
"Memories and Symbols of Planetary Upheaval", David Talbott, Thoth Vol IV, 7: April 15, 2000
2. "the pioneers of comparative study [of myth] ... stopped short of asking the most important question of all: if the natural references of the myths are missing, is it possible that they were present in a former time?"
