You deceive yourself every day.

You and your “facts” cannot actually account for that which you lack empirical validation.

That you’re certain all circumstance are as you conjecture them to be is an irony of your position.

Is that the only part of the story that disturbs you? If this one part was stretched (easiest way to early assimilation is fake news) what of all the rest of human account?

Resist your false certainty. Take the account of ledgend, history, third hand account, etc on their own terms.

You don’t really solve anything with your nihilistic incredulity. You’re not even on to something as far as ironies are concerned.

Have you ever played the game of telephone? Is it not more likely people lied and repeated lies that got so completely changed from reality than to believe some person actually flew to space on a winged donkey?
Well, the Hindu speak of things similar to winged donkeys, and of Hanuman’s army building the adam bridge.

And there is an Adam bridge. If a hundred thousand talking monkeys and a ragtag band of humans didn’t build that land bridge between India and Sri Lanka 10,000 years ago, then who did smart guy?

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not lol.

So many cultures speak of ghosts as well. Doesn't mean they existed. I mean, if they did, I'll be sure to bring that up in court next time I need to blame something breaking on them.

As for the Adam Bridge, geological processes are amazing, are they not?
