You just don’t understand what the Big Bang was. There was no solid matter for millions of years after the Big Bang.

I do understand it. Thanks

A lot can happen in 4.54 billion years.

There is no archeological evidence for the existence of either giants or dragons, but such stories do correlate with fossil finds and volcanic eruptions.

Simple question: where did the Big Bang happen?

I've been passing a dead skunk on the hard road for a couple of weeks. All that is left now is a bit of black and white hide. Don't know what will be left in a couple billion years.

But, “technically”…

Not entirely true. It makes sense that when ancient people found things like dinosaur bones, especially something like large carnivore skulls, they would make up stories about huge fire breathing monsters to explain them.

More a case of misinterpreting evidence rather than there being no evidence.

Dust. Organic material rarely lasts even 10,000 years.

The upcoming collision of a discarded SpaceX upper-stage booster launched in January of last year is entirely unintentional. It's a hollow fuel tank that will simply crumple up on impact. It will be travelling over 5000 MPH so it will leave a small crater. Maybe Elon will name it Crater X.

Or...

The ancient people who came up with stories of dragons and sky-fairies didn't know where the sun went to at night. Mankind has now developed to the point where trillionaires can throw their trash onto the moon.

And yet mapmakers, who portrayed the world on paper to the point that the average traveler could rely upon them, put notations that "here be dragons" on said maps.

What it all comes down to is that you don't know what you don't know and what YOU don't know is a LOT.

I wonder how many bags of trash braybot generates in a month. Pizza boxes, McD sacs, cum soiled tissues. He just watches it magically disappear.

And that expression for the unknown and possibly dangerous areas is something you treat as a serious claim for reality about huge fire breathing lizard/reptiles?

Rather than disregard it because I have an ego or personal political narrative I want to push, I treat it for what it is; a warning. I also give it deference due to the ones who made the maps since they are closer in time to that possibility than I am in this modern era.

Too many people throughout human history have disregarded warnings to their detriment. Stand down corporal, they can't possibly hit us at this range.... is possibly the best known meme about it.

But you do you since you're already shown several times that you can be stubborn to the point of extremism despite being given contrary facts.

 

[TastySuckToy]

You think old maps that have phrases like "Here be Dragons" written on them are facts that convince you fire breathing, flying dragons may have been real?

 

[HisArpy]

You think old maps that have phrases like "Here be Dragons" written on them are facts that convince you fire breathing, flying dragons may have been real?

They are facts, which combined with other facts, may lead to a proposition that it's STUPID to flippantly disregard what you're being told merely because you choose not to believe that what they're warning you about truly exists.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

You have an ego that has become more and more easily bruised and you are following the same path that others have trod before you. Eventually you will become as they, eager to spin stupid statements as a way of attempting to chill discourse and participation through shaming.

There many on this forum who have tried this before you. rorbags was one of them and you know very well what it got him.

Which is a warning of a sort. Disregard it at your own peril.

 

[TastySuckToy]

They are facts

I'm not disputing that old maps have phrases like "Here Be Dragons". We can agree on that fact.

I asking, do you think those phrases on old maps is convincing evidence that fire breathing, flying dragons are real?

Your ego has earned you a G'bye.

We left the dragons and giants on Mars when mankind moved to Earth. Lol.

 

[Bray123]

I may not know a lot, but unlike Derpy at least I know that Signal Chat is not suitable for governmental discussions regarding ongoing military operations.

 

[TastySuckToy]

Your ego has earned you a G'bye.

We agreed on a basic fact, I asked you a simple question on the basis of that fact.

So far your responses have been a vague 'warning' and trying to appeal to some sort of 'ego bruising' on my part.

As opposed to just answering a simple question. Here, let me show you:

"Do you think those phrases on old maps is convincing evidence that fire breathing, flying dragons are real?"

No, I don't find that convincing evidence at all.

See how easy that was? No need to reply with a vague 'warning' or accusations of 'ego' on part of the one asking the question.

 

[Typo Fu Master]

I'm not sure why, but I feel like chiming in.

HisArpy is, and I'm paraphrasing, saying that if a map is accurate at the time it's made, then it should be heeded. The existence of dragons is a moot point. Dragons represent danger.

Please feel free to correct where I'm wrong.

Then the question of "are the phrases about dragons on old maps convincing evidence for their actual existence" shouldn't produce things like vague 'warnings' and accusing the one asking the question of "ego bruising".

A simple "the phrases aren't being interpreted as evidence for actual dragons" would suffice as a response.

 

[Saint_Ann]

Perhaps they are graphical metaphores for how dangerous those excursions are.

You'd think that would be the first and most obvious interpretation.
