Does anyone else follow Randall Carlson, Graham hancock, brien Foerster etc?

Mr. Peabody:
@Howard_Casto: as has been said, and why good researchers keep the door open, after half a million years even styrofoam melts away. Perhaps the greatest possible indicator of something would be radioactivity, but there are enough natural sources, even natural reactors I found out recently, that might obscure evidence.

@pbj: nothing changes without application and implementation.

Mike A:
Good researchers think ancient advanced civilization theories are crap. There is not one shred of actual evidence to support this nonsense. Just a bunch of pseudoscientists babbling on and on to sell a book or get YouTube revenue. there are idiots out there that think the world is flat. Don't be like them.

Howard_Casto:
^This^

Here's the the thing, it doesn't matter how impermenant or how old, we ALWAYS find evidence. They've found fossils from the dawn of life, we've found human remains more than 100,000 years old. Are you really telling me that an advanced civilization arose and fell and we don't have any credible shred of evidence? Think of how many books the human race has written and how many ways it's been stored, on everything from cunifom tablets to optical disc. You are telling me that if we bit the big one tomorrow none of that would last the eons? Even ignoring that, advanced civilizations work on the human body via surgery and artifical limb/organ replacement, and titanium screws and plates last a hell of a long time. So how come we haven't found any? Also an advancement of civilization always equates to a population boom. We would find a ton of human fossils from any period of a suitably advanced civilization but we havent' found that. The global population has been steadly increasing since the dawn of man as technology and the average life expectancy has increased. Long story short, no evidence = it didn't happen. This applies to all the crackpot science as well.... bigfoot, alien abduction, the Lochness monster, ect.

I can't believe I'm having to explain this to a fully grown adult.

You're not talking about keeping the door open. You're talking about swallowing tripe. This is a common conspiracy theorist attack against science: "Science is all about keeping an open mind, so if scientists aren't entertaining my baseless, fanciful claims, then they're bad at performing the basics of their job." Science is one of the few professions where non-practitioners don't bat an eye at accusing the entire profession of gross incompetence.

The melting point of styrofoam decreases after half a million years?

Do you realize the point of your post was to make apologies for the lack of evidence? If all you have to support these claims is excuses for lack of evidence, then the rational thing to do is dismiss the claims.

Is anybody even making the claim that ancient civilizations used nuclear power and invented styrofoam? Don't be like the rest of these anti-science tools and say "Here's some things I find surprising about science which are unrelated to my claims, therefore I have an open mind and you suck."

Mr. Peabody:
I support nothing. Science matters to me mostly insofar as what it can contribute to materials science. Although a gee-wow is available for anything evidenced by apparently credible sources.

Some of my experiences have been inexplicable, and as such can be noted but do not need to be discussed.
