I believe in the aquatic ape hypothesis and people persecute me for it.

The aquatic ape hypothesis was never crazy

None of you have taken apart seeing water in human loss of fur coupled with blubberesque skinfat. Fully from all those annoying analogies seen in other mammal species in the tree of life who evolved exactly the same traits for that exact wet reason, or all those that didn't for dry reasons...

Readers who would like to discuss the aquatic ape hypothesis rather than wasting time on CEngelbrecht's personal gripes and insults are directed to that thread.

So... where's the discussion topic? What is the hypothesis and what do you want to say about it that we can discuss? All I see is a nice epistemological homily and an illustration.

Do you actually want me to answer? Or will you just demand my ban all over again when I do and you can't shoot it down, even though you know it's supposed to be easy to shoot down?

Then why post?

Just to troll?


TheVat asked a perfectly valid question: Where's the discussion topic?

You've come here with a chip on your shoulder. You've got all your armour on, and you're parrying against someone who simply asked where the discussion is at. A perfectly reasonable question.

Read up. Stop taking someone else's word for it. That is literally the only weapon we have against creationists.

I was asked to not come back to Sunday School when I was seven years old. My last time bothering with that shit until boot camp, when I was ordered to attend a church service "of your choice." US government required me to go to church. The Methodist had the best after snacks, the Catholics import girls for the after church recruiting campaign. Didn't work on me.

Only to let yourself be indoctrinated with someone else's misguided truth?

It is central to many conspiracy theories that believers in the conspiracy are "special." They "see the facts." They are not "indoctrinated with someone else's misguided truth." This gives them a feeling of superiority, which they cherish.

You just take their word for it. You know you don't have to read these banned volumes.

Well as long as you're not mocking it...

You've set the tone for this thread. I am betting when you eventually leave in disgust, you will convince yourself that you took the high road and still you were driven away by all those meanies with their mockery.

There's right and there's wrong. Fuck this age of Trump.

It sure is a very strange pseudoscientific idea. None of you reject what's actually being suggested. You keep babbling about the crazy version only. You don't need to do that with the ramblings of Dan Brown or Erich von Däniken. There any scholar easily go to town on the actual arguments. But on Elaine Morgan's, you have to keep rewriting what she was talking about. Half a century later, you still have to distort it into something clearly crazy. She has to believe in mermaids. Who cares that she never did? 'Cause them beach apes just don't sound crazy enough. And you know it's crazy. You've never been told anything else, and that's why you can keep taking their word for it. You don't need to read her banned volumes. Just keep pissing on one your own giants that got us much, much closer.

Nobody has "banned" Elaine Morgan's work: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aquatic-Ape-Elaine-Morgan/dp/0812828739

I ain't playing that part for you. Why do you feel the need to bring up a completely different idea? What, you can't slam down the one at hand without false attachment?
