Coming out of the closet

[putnam6]

I'm a hardcore skeptic, but I'm willing to discuss almost anything.  Gobekli Tepi, the Tartaran Mud Flood, Earth/pole flipping -- however, I'm likely to drag ancient sources into things as well as mathematics (I'm no mathematician but I can stumble along in geometry and in physics) and I'm picky about sources.

I do get a little testy on some of the ancient Egyptian topics (like the "light bulb" or the "helicopter" "Great Pyramid Ram Jet") but I'm willing to at least read the introductory material.  (I can read SOME hieroglyphs, which means I'm really willing to point at them and say "no, this is what this thing says."


...except when they want me to watch a video.  Give me text and something solid to back it up with.

I won't be harsh or nasty -- I always try to be polite and respectful, even when disagreeing.

I appreciate the skepticism the vast majority of the time it's warranted, as has been mentioned Im open to theories but Ive also read enough where the evidence needs to be above the basic level.
