Lol, your a hard man Castle
That is a very scientific answer on your part mate, "Its up to people to back up their claims" is it really?
It certainly is for an Academic making some statement. But a lot of the stuff presented here and on other websites are nothing more than, "Hey check this, this is what I found, this is my take on it"
I am probably less of a skeptic than you I suspect, and as you say there was no infrared images he claimed existed. But I didn't really pick him for a chuckle head lol
Remember, it is an worn out, misused and abused line I agree, but...
"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence!"
Carl Sagan.
Call me ignorant if it is warranted, but, here is what I got from the video.
On the side of wonder...
- Some awfully weird shapes on the surface of mars.
- An object of some sort 20km long appearing just before a space probe shuts down.
- Some apparently crazy arse shadows on the surface of mars.
- A Russian scientist coming forward with some spooky unexplained photos.
On the side of the skeptic...
Don't you think your doing yourself an injustice by being so dismissive?
- No proof whatsoever.
- No infrared images presented.
- Much wild speculation.
- However no alternate explanation.
And
In advance...
Peace man
I agree completely in that Carl Sagan quote......he was someone I admired back in the day. I also do understand how things are presented on websites similar to this and on youtube. To me the person narrating this does qualify as a chucklehead because all he does is make claims.....and in the case of his "city" all I see is pixelated mush.
Personally natural landforms fit as an alternative explanation....especially in the case of his alleged "city".
No need to call you ignorant.....especially since you strike me as one of the more intelligent and knowledgeable people here. Your observations of what the narrator claims to see are quite clear and the same about the skeptics take on this.
Am I more of a skeptic than you......in some ways yes. Am I hard on reports like this.....yes.....but then when I review scientific reports I expect data gaps to be minimized. I expect claims to be backed by evidence and not wishful thinking....and even then nothing is 100%. But at least evidence helps answer questions.....if the people are open minded enough to want to find the answers.
