What do you think of the following non-mainstream science things?
 
Yonaguni Monument
Bimini Road
UFO sightings and alien abduction- greys and little green men
the new jersey devil
el chupacabra
big foot/yeti
loch ness monster
ghosts
hollow earth theory
flat earth theory

hollow earth and flat earth theories make me smile because they are so moronic. It is hard to write off an animal as non-existant, as new species are discovered every year- but it is hard to believe the theories based on sketchy stories and shoddy videotape. UFOs fall under the same thing, although there is most likely life out there somewhere more advanced than us, so I wouldn't write it off completely. As far as ghosts I lean a bit more towards believing just because I've known many credible people who have had experiences. Bimini Road seems kind of dumb, but I want to believe the Yonaguni monument is manmade. It would make a lot of sense afterall if it was.

I'm stubborn and I don't believe in things that I haven't/can't see. Though that's not to say that I don't think some of the said things could be possible, as most everything is subjective.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 10.26.2007 01:01 AM

I try to keep an open mind to things I can't disprove.

Plus I like to think that there are things that nobody knows about. . . that are right under our nose and haven't been discovered.

Yonaguni is particularly intriguiging. . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonagun...bed_structures

It would explain the universality of flood stories and of monolithic architecture if it is manmade.

There was some show on last night that talked about cows being abducted, having all the blood removed, and then being dropped down by aliens. Apparently, cow DNA is similar to ours, and the aliens want it for research.

What about the MOTHMAN!?!?!?!?!? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mothman


I think most of this stuff is total crap, to be honest. I mean... the Chupacabra... really?

I do believe in alien life. If the universe is infinite, there's gotta be something else out there right? I don't really buy into all the UFO, government cover-up stuff though. I think most of that shit's just nuts.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 10.26.2007 02:29 AM

Well, the Chupacabra as legend goes as ridiculous, but there could be a real animal that has inspired the legends.

Mothman's pretty stupid- more urban legend than non-mainstream science, although the two fields do cross over frequently.

Answers in red

I tend believe in things (but not religion) until they are proven wrong. I particulary believe in UFO's though, because there's sure to be life in space that has the technology to visit us etc.

Anngella 10.26.2007 03:04 AM

I don't really think there are aliens that are little green men. There is surely life (amoeba-like micro-organisms and such) on other planets but I don't think they've came here in flying saucers and abducted cows or impregnated any women.

What About Building 7??

ZEROpumpkins 10.26.2007 04:24 AM

What about it? The demolition of it?

ALIEN ANAL 10.26.2007 04:35 AM

how about The Terminator

pbradley 10.26.2007 04:35 AM

What about the controlled explosions, Bill?

Rob Instigator 10.26.2007 09:40 AM

Yonaguni Monument - do not know what this is
Bimini Road - do not know what this refers to
UFO sightings and alien abduction- greys and little green men - hallucinations and suggestion. I am much more likely to take a sighting of an unidentified flying object seriously than any account of how some alien kidnapped you or probed you. humans have been recounting these same stories since the beggining of time, and they all are due to hallucinations while asleep.
the new jersey devil - have not heard anything about this other than some odd references
el chupacabra - plenty of animals like to kill goats besides cloven hoofed monsters
big foot/yeti - if sasquatch and yeti were real ever they probably went extinct in the last 20 years. it has been about that long since any credible sightings have occurred.
loch ness monster - hoax.
ghosts - while I do not believe in souls or an afterlife or god or any spirits or that nonsense, I do think that human consciousness is a powereful energy and that, energy and matter being interchangeable, sometimes traumatic events can cause such a mental anguish that they leave some sort of impression on the surrounding matter, thereby allowing people with "sensitive" minds to feel/seee/experience something that appears to be a ghost or spirit. don;t know how to test this though.
hollow earth theory - every single test that determines we live in a sphere can be reversed mathematically to show we live IN a sphere and not ON a sphere, however, that is just a match trick, and people who believe in tis shit are fucking idiots and deluded and have no idea what outer space is. what the fuck is the hubble taking pictures of if not outer space? that would demand an infinitely big inner space of the earth.
flat earth theory - morons

all DNA is similar to ALL DNA. it is DNA!!!! stupid tv show. even the most remote animal to humans shares at least 80% of our gentic structure, even TREES and PLANTS

Savage Clone 10.26.2007 09:50 AM

I don't know if "believe" is the right word, but I very much want to live in a world that includes goatsuckers, nessie and the yeti.

sonicl 10.26.2007 09:54 AM

It's not something I think about really. But the area of Loch Ness where Nessie is supposed to hang out does have a very eerie atmosphere to it.

Danny Himself 10.26.2007 10:05 AM

Bimini Road is definitely very interesting, considering how it's discovery was predicted 30 years beforehand. It just looks like a little street. Where the rest of it all went, I have no idea.

floatingslowly 10.26.2007 10:05 AM

el chupacabras are totally sweet (sweet like ninjas).

they like to flip out and kill goats (just like ninjas).

I love el chupacabra with every part of my body (including my pee pee).

that said, I think that ninjas are totally some made up bullshit (to take the heat off of el chupacabra).
