A mate of mine handed me a copy of a magazine called Nexus. This rag isn't even worthy to be used as tp.
However, the issue I perused, contained part 2 of an article discussing human origins from an Interventionist perspective.
Here's the idiot's, I mean, author's website:

The biggest problem I have with this crap, is where do I start ripping it part? It's like being a kid in a candy store with a $50 in your hand.

The text of that site shows a rather bad start:

There was never any claim that Newton knew all there was to know about basic physics. There were some physics types who for some reason I cannot fathom thought that science at the end of the 19th century had almost had it all figured it though. But that included a couple of centuries of post-Newton physics including Maxwell's work.

More false science...

That is enough for me...

Here is a website about the starchild skull entitled "Anatomy of a Pseudoscience"

Now, first off, I am not arguing against evolution. It is obviously the primary influence on the history of life.

I dont buy any UFO or alien story I have ever seen or heard of.

But, the UFO whackos have the unfortunate side effect of diverting reasonable consideration to the possabilities of local alien civilizations, and the quite reasonable suspicion that we might be observed, that aliens might be living/visiting all over the place except the earth, and even the possability that aliens have redirected the history of earth.

I state that there is no evidence, but that there are very good reasons to think these are significant possabilities. With our technology level one would expect no evidence unless aliens cared to be seen or heard (in which case they would have sent a spacecraft long ago and would just use our phones, TVs, radios to talk to us). So no evidence means very little either way.

The fact that there is no evidence pro or con means little. We are unable to make the proper observations to answer the question, just as a 17th century scientist was unable to measure sub atomic physics.

To dismiss such possabilities because of the absurd UFO whacko crowd is very shortsighted.

I am burning out trying to reason with ignorant and superstitious people about magical creation versus evoluton, UFO bollocks, miracles/magic, ESP rubbish, and imaginary sky monsters who create Earth for the purpose of delivering pain and suffering.

We have a saying in Scotland: "wankers will be wankers."

Seems absurd and superstitious to me, to assume that the Human Race is the Highest Form of life in the local neighborhood.

Seems reminiscent of the recently accepted theory that the earth is flat and Jerusalem is the Center of the Universe.

We only have a vague idea what is in our solar system.

There is no significant evidence pro or con.

I thought it was a very good site. There were a few quotes that were barmy but 99% was pretty spot on.

It may be a problem for those intellectually deficient to comprehend it, and those whose minds are chained by ignorance and whose brains are shackled by superstition.

If you want to rip apart a book of lies, ignorance, superstition, and horrid evil deeds glorified by a monster god, buy a Bible and use it for toilet paper. When in America on business, they have those barmy Gideon Bibles in the hotel rooms. I collect them. on every trip. I now have over 40. When I have 50, we are going to have a nice bonfire party on the hill on our back land 20 miles from Inverness.

I was just kidding about the bonfire. It might be risky to the shrubs on the hill. Instead we are going to use the pages of the Bibles for lining the bottom of our cocatiel's bird cage. It is still able to absorb more shite than it already has in its chapters.
