Scientists just don't get it

by tbx5959 » Not everyone watches this show because they believe it, in fact, lots of people watch it for the polar opposite reason; they watch it ironically.

I've never had a scientist show up to my door wanting to tell me about quirks or solar nebula. I'm not sure where you're being accosted by these scientists.

It is socially acceptable to believe in ridiculous things like Jesus is one version of the god head and only by him dying as a man could be people redeemed; or that Mohammed rode pegasus to paradise; or that god handed a dude a list of things not to do and then those people carried it around for centuries, built a shrine for it, and then it just vanished So, of course people are allowed to believe that moon men came and built pyramids.

And, this perverse view that Scientists are pied pipers demanding people dance is one of the strangest things I've read recently. plus, it sure seems like a faulty premise that people were more akin to find truth in science a hundred years ago than they are now.

Id have to agree with you on this.
I like this show a lot, but do i think theyre really onto something? Not really.
But it is a nice and entertaining way to keep the creative juices flowing.

You could watch anime for unexpected deep thoughts and outlandish designs too, but the squeaky voices and romances are a major turn off, or watch a poorly acted series with plot holes.
I'd rather watch a bunch of mature people talk about it on a show like this.

Comparing angels to Aliens doesnt exactly shake our foundations, neither are anywhere to be seen and it doesnt expand on the question of life any further, it basically moves the question from one solution to the other, but at least its more stimulating on a creative level for me.
Their own ideas have far more shaky foundations, like making connections between zombies, suicide forests and nazis etc. with Aliens, ah well, i just watch them for the footage, but those episodes dont quite get me excited, although the movie Iron Skies is like a funny take on some of these theories.

Im also not exactly a fan of "scientists" as it is often used nowadays, people try to back their little ideas with saying: "scientists say...", but that does not always mean that their ideas are groundbreaking or anything that nobody already knew.
For example, how chemicals and emotions work in our bodies or questions like "what is reality?".
As much as it is scientific fact, its very much into-the-box thinking, some people learn from it, but its basically common sense wrapped in a scientific package.

But there are some things that i believe but cant prove, like, i think evolution is in some way enhanced by the power of thought.
That evolution is not just a random process, but also slowly put together by the wishes of the individual life forms.
Generation upon generation with the same deep rooted wishes might affect the body in a way. Getting closer to being able to tackle obstacles and shaping themselves to be more fit for the tasks.
I dont think that every evolutionary step was a random mutation like scientists say.

Anyway, i dont specifically need broadening of imagination but this show still comes close to things id like to see discussed, even though i might not agree on the conclusion.
