The work of these authors are very interesting...can we doubt that "something" happened millennia ago?

One's perspective dictates one's conclusion. Science emphatically denies any sort of supernatural even though facts and events show their evidence. Dr Hawking stated that all scientific inquiry is based on a series of assumptions….. If these assumptions are inaccurate, then your conclusion falls apart…. Daniken, Sitchin and Biblical authors often talk about the same events, but from differing perspectives. Scientific authors with impressive credentials involved in the "peer review" process are hardly immune from bias…There is an immense amount of hard evidence that disputes the scientifically accepted "facts" of global warming, evolution, Uniformitarianism, but any qualified scientist even asking for debate on these subjects is automatically expelled from universities, made a Pariah by these so-called impartial peer review panels... In the last few years many scientists with impeccable credentials have disputed orthodoxy only to have their papers refused review, discussion and publication. The establishments preconceived bias is overwhelming, reminding us of the acts of the "Holy Office" of the Roman Church (The inquisition)... No dissention with Dogma within academia is tolerated…. In many instances, for example, Christians are still given failing grades in biology classes by their professors if they do not believe in evolution.

The works of the almost forgotten researchers Velikovsky and Fort is a good example of this bias.. The facts they discussed are in many instances true even if the conclusions they reached were inaccurate... Both works deal a death blow to the doctrine of Uniformitarianism, As does Biblical Archaeology. ((Uniformitarianism is the theory that gradual change over billions of years is responsible for everything)) Later qualified credentialed researchers have verified some of Velikovsky's and Fort's most important discoveries.

The scientific elite of their day (1950) refused to debate the questions they raised, going so far as to banish the works from university campuses and threaten any academic with expulsion for wanting to discuss them...

The same fate awaits serious qualified credentialed researchers today.

As of this writing several hundred qualified credentialed experts have publicly opposed the man made global warming hype, only to be met with increased hysterical opposition instead of reasoned discussion and examination of the facts.

Several irrefutable facts:

Truth is not a personal decision. Whether its true to YOU is irrelevant...Truth, like the law of Gravity, just IS.

There are two world views prevalent today. The first world views says “I believe “it” because its True” This has absolute laws of truth, math and physics.

The second world view is “Its true because I believe it”. This second world view has no objective truth in philosophy or science.

The presupposition of evolution violates the most basic laws of Mathematical numbers theory; the law of probabilities; as well as the Second Law of Thermodynamics which is the law of ever increasing chaos in all systems.

Antarctic Ice

In 1930, Admiral Richard Byrd established a base in Antarctica. Since that time, the ice has piled higher, so that of his 110 foot radio towers, just a few feet now protrude above the icy surface. At that rate, the ice sheet of Antarctica is only 7,000 years old, not a million. But since the build-up must have been more rapid during the 1200ad to 1850ad little Ice Age, it is probably very much younger even than 7,000 years. Ancient maps exist showing Antarctica before the ice came revealing details only recently verified.

Once tropical north pole area before Noahs Flood!

Some more evidence:

June 1st 2006 Network News story tells about core samples from the Artic ocean seabed showing the area was once a tropical swamp!

A gold necklace was found embedded in a lump of coal. A metal spike was discovered in a silver mine in Peru. An iron implement was found in a Scottish coalbed. Estimated to be millions of years older than man is believed to have existed. A metal, bell-shaped vessel, inlaid with a silver floral design was blasted out of solid rock near Dorchester, Massachusetts. http://www.mm2000.nu/sphinxi.html.

Lost Aircraft On Greenland

In 1943 several aircraft were abandoned on the Greenland ice cap. In the 1980’s, they were located beneath 240 feet of ice. Buried by an ice accumulation of 6 feet per year in the great ”global warming” period of the mid 20th century... Simple mathematics will show you that during the little Ice Age between 1340 and 1880 likely 10 feet of ice accumulated per year, resulting over that 500 year span of the present One mile thick ice sheet.

After all, the University of Berkley has maps of Greenland from BEFORE 1340 showing almost no ice on Greenland and Antarctica.

Ancient Maps

Ptolemy's map of the north shows Greenland only partly ice covered, glaciers retreating from Sweden, Germany...http://www.tamilnation.org/tamileelam/boundaries/ptolemyworld.htm.

Orontius map of Antarctica, (1531)mostly ice free. Only recently has been shown to be exact. http://www.science-frontiers.com/sf036/sf036p01.htm

Many Ancient Maps including the King Hamy-King Chart (1502) showing the present Sahara desert as a fertile land with lakes, rivers, cities.... 7th item down the list, #HM45 http://dpg.lib.berkeley.edu/webdb/dsheh/heh_brf?Description=&Call Number=HM+45.

There have been vast climatic change throughout history. Despite the current frenzy about "global warming", it has all happened before! The ancient world was much colder than today. Archaeology has shown that the sea levels were some 20-30 feet lower than today. The entire middle east was covered by dense forests with abundant rain. this continued through the Roman period. North Africa was the fertile fields where most of the grain was grown for the Roman Empire. From 600-800 there was a period of Earth upheaval resulting in a 200 year period of ice age, plague and famine...A large cometary body did in fact closely graze the Earth in recorded history...terrifying everyone...http://www.intersurf.com/~chalcedony/AxelHeiberg2.html

Two books I highly recommend about early world exploration and voyages are by Professor Dr Barry Fell: “America B.C.: Ancient Settlers in the New World ” and “Saga America”.
