Can't you just buy a degree somewhere?

Honestly man degrees are so not worth what they used to be, and the amount of fields u can get a degree in now also.

I didn't bother going to college. Also my high school diploma was terrible so I wouldn't have been accepted anyway probably. :/

A science correspondent wasn't too happy about the show...

But the idea was pitched to the History Channel by Prometheus Entertainment[www.prometheusentertainment.com]. Oddly enough, the founder also developed the show Alien Nation. It wasn't that far of a stretch to see him go from that show to this one.

Pick a topic that isn't often explored.
Make it the fault of aliens.
Write an incredibly poorly written book making crazy claims about easily explainable things.
Profit.

When people say they mistranslated it's because they didn't publish their theories on how their method of translation differs from the consensus, making there be no way of knowing the methodology or if they just purposely interpreted it to fit the ideas they came up with.

Who's they?

I can see why you would think that, given your username.

Are u going to dispute my fact or play keyboard psychiatrist?

I did, when it was an actual accomplishment and not for example: given a place based on class or skin colour, given a place on some diddy course like psychology or history or some arty thing.

You have to get abducted by an alien, but in reverse AND in slow motion.

Your thinking needs to be out of this world.

Loving the anti-intellectual subplot in the thread about ancient aliens... that's just good writing.
Education is so worth it, especially studying abroad to expand your horizons. I would not trade my years at Galaxy High for anything.

When you blow your nose, you have to blow hard enough to blow your brains out. You do that enough, and you can become anything you want. Just ask President Homer Scratchy Legs...

President Homer Scratchy Legs: "Hi I'm have tissues for brains and over the last eighth yards years I blew my nose into my raisin brans and now I'm voted myself the brainiest president! But I started as a plateau extortionist on the Defense of the Ancient Aliens game show made by... who was it made by again, that gum show? Dadgum it. D. O. T. A. A.? I hear this is a Wendy's. Well somehow I got myself mixed up in quite a milkshake here. Yessir I'd like to order one large AI milkshake for the road. Thank you. Oh now I'm supposed to ask you if that answered your question and you're supposed to say yes. Then I drop the mic and exit stage left."

Perhaps in ancient times, there were fewer people in town. The night skies were clearer without light pollution to reveal more stars. So back then people can study and log star positions more times than human records. They can then develop conclusion and claim certain star positions created human behavior x and y which is true.

Today if they log one star position and there are trillions of people with different outcomes, so it's less acceptable.
