Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by that, could you explain it better? Thanks in advance.

I deduced that since some of the historical record is discounted by You, in the form of ancient texts, You must see that historical record (written texts) of no use.  So I asked the original question.  What is Your test for whether an ancient text is history or fairy tale?

I give a higher probability (without numbers, I don't create numbers out of thin air) of something being accurate if there are more texts supporting what that text say. Descriptions of witnesses are even better than second hand reports.

So...  Texts from around the globe don't count as supporting text?  Can I take that from what You're saying here?

So do You give credence to the eye witnesses around the globe that reported a war in the heavens?

Why wouldn't I?  Tribes and civilizations all around the globe spoke of it all at once.  All similar descriptions if not identical.  I have seen no other set of stories that impromptu showed up all over the planet sounding so similar or identical.  The only thing I can think of that would cause such a phenomenon is if what They described happened.

Is that bad logic?  And if so, why?

An ancient text even tells of the winners and losers of that latest war, , , ,

I recommend reading Joseph Campbell - The Power of Myth.
myths are real, speak of the past under a different syntax, does not make them lie. It's just another way of telling something just.

There you go again, distorting what I say.

Can you point where did I say that I discount some of the historical records?

Seeing that you keep on using this tactic of implying that I said things I never said, for me, this conversation stops here.

Not distortion, deductions based on what You say.

You discount all the old stories of a war in the skies.  Suggest they are merely "myth" even though the phenomenon of reporting these wars was planetary (as One would expect them to be if the heavens lit up with war) and simultaneous.  This is not to be expected if someOne suddenly decided to be fanciful and make it up as a bedtime story.  In such a case, the story might spread to the surrounding area.  It may eventually make its way out to other areas, but would never hold the fascination such that scholars of the day, all around the planet, would suddenly choose to write the same basic bedtime story down.

I have asked many questions here, ArMaP.  Rather than answer any of them, You have honed in on one question dealing with My deductions and now are (I guess) stomping off in a huff.  Why is that, ArMaP? 

Let's get back to the questions about what You use to determine whether an ancient text is "history" or "myth."  What is it about a planetary reporting of a war in the skies, with virtually identical descriptions, that leads You to discount this as myth and not an historical record?

[ArMaP]

Because it looks like you are either ignoring my answers or purposely misinterpreting them to make my opinions look different from what they really are.

I like honesty, the way you keep on writing things as if I said them doesn't sound honest to me, that's why I said that, to me, this conversation is finished.

Truly, I could say the same of You.  Again, You ignore the questions and only focus on the question surrounding My deductions.  Are You avoiding My question about what You use to determine what is "historical" and what is "myth?"

Crater Chains

Back in 2002, at another forum,  a friend and fellow researcher (Gale Smart) posted this image with the following question.

"What are the mathematical odds of that?"



The image is about 120 miles wide.

The Ganymede: Torn Comet - Crater Chain more than 126 miles long with an enormous blast at the end, or beginning..... Looks familiar! It reminds me of this!

But are the winners the GOOD ET or the BAD ET 

THAT is my question

What part of "this conversation is finished" didn't you understand?

Guessing You are.  [smile]  Enjoy the day, ArMaP.

I am what?

Enjoy the day, ArMaP.

Too late, you already spoiled it with your lack of honesty, something I will never forget.

HUH?  Lack of honesty???  Glad We're done with this, cause that BS would be addressed, I tell You what.

Tribes and civilizations all around the globe spoke of [a war in heaven] all at once.

Can we really prove they all spoke of the war at once?  I'm not sure we can pinpoint with any accuracy when to be fair.

I think the better way to prove that there was a war in heaven (if there was) is to find physical evidence that accurately matches the descriptions in myths.
