Anomalies against the Paradigm
Hey Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and have just been reading through some threads about the possibility of ancient civilizations (not specifically all that advanced), and how this could very much shake up some scientific ideas relating to the age of humanity, and more importantly, its technological and social development.
So, what about the possibility? Anomalous fossils and artifacts have been found in numerous locations around the globe<!--[endif]-->
<o></o>
There’s an abundance of examples, which in all honesty, I am too exhausted to list here, but a nice sum of them has been put together by Leonardo Vintiñi at the Epoch Times.<!--[if !supportFootnotes]-->[FONT="][1][/FONT]
What I am trying to point out is why these anomalies are being ignored? They require to be explained. Not explained away. Science, or as it should be addressed, in the plural, sciences are interesting systems, ‘systems of knowledge’, that Ron Westrum suggests are ‘systems of ignorance’<!--[if !supportFootnotes]-->[FONT="].[2][/FONT]<!--[endif]--> Sorry, I think, If I keep going I’ll turn this into a rant of gigantic proportions. So what do you think? Are these anomalies worth being taken seriously? I would think they would be very important, and not only to science.
