Looking to the past will not help with our current situation. They make for great conversation tho. I am with citizen when he said we weren't there so all we have is speculation and beliefs. A religious belief although personal is just that a belief system that you choose to believe in and no one can tell you you can't however it has little to no relevance when trying to prove things that actually happened. We can correlate and try and figure out what happened but that is all we are left with at this point. I do know that from all antient texts that something cataclysmic must have happened and keeps happening over a span of time that not everyone will be privy to because our lifespans are so short now. Myth and fiction. No one really can say if dinosaurs lived or not. Maybe bones of regular animals. i don't think they did. They have distorted the truth so much no one can tell anything from the past is or isn't belief in them is just that a belief.
What you said was there is a source and I agree but to each it's own their belief in such matters. But I do know there is no tooth fairy, santa, ester bunny or other marvel.
It may be annoying but don't result to insult just present your best defense. Simple as that. No fault in that. Fault can be found when your frustrated at the evidence that there isn't any or it has been falsified and not being able to come to grips with that and resulting to ignorance and omittance to the facts. Another thing is that you have to consider they aren't ignoring facts but rather challenging the evidence associate with said fact and finding it to have no relevance or factors that can make it a fact and then moving to more solid means of discovery of real evidence and that they may have info you don't have.
