as opposed to this next set of rules that list is very credible
1) god created the earth in seven days
2) god is ommipotent and

and lives in the sky somewhere
3) everything the bible says is true especially the heavily edited modern versions
4) all scientists are wrong
5) god loves you so much that if you make an error he will send you to hell to be agonizingly tortured for ever and ever
6) god sent his only son to die for our sins which we havent committed yet
7) the Nazis who murdered 6 million jews were evil
8 ) the catholics who murdered 500 million men women and children are good
9) any religion that worships any other god is completely wrong and they are all going to christian hell for it
10) Noah had an ark the size of two football fields which he managed to fit two fo every creature of earth into shortly after god decalred that he would kill every living thing on earth but remember god is omnipotent so it must be that we just don't understand how why or even when he did it

Well now that's some food for thought. Did you know the huge laver, the brazen sea, was also called "Apsu", which was simply a later term for "Abzu"?

Reference for that please, Undo. :-)

...Those people's arguements/opinions are founded on strong pessimism and what i like to call humanist over-realism, which is answering any unknown question with the notion that..
1)human beings have never been created, we just 'evolved' all the way, no acceleration of the process or anything.
2)humans have never been in actual physical contact with 'aliens'.
3)aliens have never visited earth, since its existance.
4)everything on earth not naturally occuring was created by humans only, regardless of the difficulty involved (these systems for building such large buildings that humans supposedly used are hard to replicate to this day and the labor involved astounds us.. the amount of humans, weight carrying, calculations and time).
5)aliens will never visit earth.
6)all signs point to aliens of intelligent nature not existing.
7)all religon is a lie. all stories are fake, none are founded on anything factual or credible that actually happened. same with every myth and legend, pagan or egyptian, or mayan or whatever. its 100% mind control, we're actually fungus growing on a rock with an afterlife no different than small insects; none.
8)if we havent discovered a planet yet, with unrefutable fury it does not exist!
9)this whole notion of reality is an anomaly and a joke. when our pointless lives are over we will be in a permanent non-existant 'state of mind', people don't actually have an essence of God or a soul inside of them.
10)there is no God.
11)Stone Henge and the Great Giza Pyramid, as well as the Mayan one that is the largest on earth (at the base) and any other incredibly ancient monolith was fully constructed by primitive loin cloth wearing star-gazing barbarous humans. We are like superheros or something.
12)There was no Flood, beyond a minor one occuring near the Tigris/Euphrates. Despite that all cultures on earth have a similar legend of a major flood, see rule #7. It must all be a lie. Stupid cavemen an their stories.
13)Agriculture just APPEARED out of thin air into the human brain, which is fully capable of doing anything on this earth, considering we are the end all be all, most intelligent beings to exist. Theres no aliens or God that is higher than us. Those dont exist, we do. All material evidence pertaining to anything otherwise is false and discredited.
14)all ancient tablets have been misinterpreted, and the misinterpreted stories we have from them are not true, just make believe mumbo jumbo. see rule #7.
15)There was no exodus from egypt, the plagues never occured, and if so were a freak anomaly of nature. Everything in religon is a lie see rule #7.
16)The only possible considerable explanation for ANYTHING, end all be all, of the Earth, of Science, the laws of Physics and everything 'Western Civilization' has gathered up over the centuries like a scrapbook is explainable through natural occuring things or freak anomolies.
17)A comet is not coming to hit our planet - surely NASA would notify the world population shortly before their doom - that would be real pretty, worldwide anarchy. So believe everything you see/hear/red from NASA; they are more worthy than Biblical texts.
18)A planetary body is not coming to hit our planet, graze it, or passby it. This will not happen around 2012ish, or after, and all who theorize on this interpretation of Sumerian myth is misinterpreting it, see rule #12.
These are the 18 steps, would someone like to label this set of beliefs?

Is that brazen like in brass like?
BTW I am here now Undo you had a question about "Houston we have a prroblem" I believe?

Step One has been completed.
Now, for Step Two you will explain how this has anything to do with the Pyramids of Egypt being built before the Egyptians got there.
Thanks. :-)

Well, maybe not so much of a tangent. Wasn't the Osireon discovered 50 feet below another structure? And no other structure in Egypt incorporated such large granite blocks?
Isn't that evidence that the more elaborate structures were built earlier than the later ones?

Then again, there are so many writings (both ancient and recent) that refer to beings out of this world visiting us and gifting us with advanced technology
thats funny because I have never read any ancient texts that claim anything close to that
just lots of recent mistranslations that do
perhaps you could provide a link to your claims at some point otherwise its just so much hearsay/rubbish/gospell/bs (delete where applicable)

Here is a simple link that talks to the many descriptions of flying machines from thousands of years ago. Also, I am currently looking for a particular story from these texts that I read that described an all out "war in the skies" between these flying ships that utilized beams of fire to destroy things.
