Atlantis

[cactusjumper]

people call it Atlantis...cause they couldn't spell Pangaea

Donald,

I don't believe there were any people when Pangaea started breaking apart. It took millions of years for the process to take place. On the other hand it makes perfect sense, considering Plato's story.

Take care,

Joe

i know joe...but science keeps pushing human occupation back...
until an archie finds some mummified person holding a spear stuck in a t-rex...no one will consider the idea that humans may be as old as the dry land.

Donald,

I know they do, and who knows what the next turn of the spade will dig up. Problem, as I see it, is that we are talking hundreds of millions of years, not thousands.

Take care,

Joe

Cactus: you posted --> we are talking hundreds of millions of years

SO? I believe that they have found human foot prints in sedimentary rock along with Dinasaur foot prints overlying them??

Somewhere in Texas, two sets of foot-prints WERE found in sedimentary rock which later, hardened; they were "side by side", as Dino must have been stalked by Human for DINNER... dunno.

Take care,

The real reason why the dinos went extinct - was because they taste like CHICKEN! MMmm-mm!

When the starship landed,the Steg turned to the Triceratops and quipted,"Well there goes the neighborhood".

Chapter 6 of Genesis has this interesting passage:
"And it came to pass,when men began to multiply on the face of the earth,and daughters were born unto them,that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair;and they took wives of all which they chose.."
The sons of God mentioned in Genesis were clearly not from this planet.
"There were giants in the earth in those day;and also after that,when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men,and they bare children to them,the same became mighty men which were of old,men of renown."
Could the "men of renown" be a reference to Atlantis in the Old Testament?
There is a definite distinction between men,the sons of God,and the offspring of the sons of God and the daughters of men.

Oh, it's all a crapshoot, RdTTT. What else can we do except keep rolling the dice?

LDM? Nah ... my preferred hiking nowadays would be barefoot on a beach with an ocean attached if possible, but the tide went out a long time ago in AZ.

 

[Real de Tayopa Tropical Tramp]

G'd afternoon Springfeld, booze?? Alone on the beach or with one of the daughters of man?? Sounds interesting.

What's the best evidence that Plato's story of Atlantis is true?

Joe Ribaudo

That is a rather open question, that is open to a subjective answer; different people would give very different answers. What do you hold to be the "best evidence"? Some would say Plato's writings, however I would not agree, there are many circumstantial pieces of evidence, which taken together, in my opinion make the best evidence. Thank you in advance;

Roy,

Can you name three pieces of circumstantial evidence that, combined, make a solid piece of "best evidence"

In other words, what do you consider the strongest evidence? You are certainly not alone in your opinion.

For me, the strongest pieces of evidence against the story are, the era, and the technology available in that time.

Thank you,

Joe
