What Is Fact
- 1. What is FACT? Why do you believe EVERYTHING you hear, see or read?
- 2. FACT A fact: “… is something that is the case, something that actually exists” “… or something that can be verified according to an established standard of evaluation” Page 1 Top
- 3. TRUTH “ Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” Page 1 Top
- 4. Truth ... “ ...is the opposite of lies.” “ ...is to tell the truth.” “ ...differs from person to person.” “ ...what is truth but what we believe to be truth?” “ I don't believe that there's one truth. There are so many different people, and there are so many different ways you can look at things. I don't see how there could be just one truth.” Page 1 Bottom
- 5. Scientific Theory Theory Scientific theories attempt to understand the world of observation and sense experience. They attempt to explain how the natural world works. The Big Bang Evolution Page 2 Top
- 6. Scientific Law Law “…has a well documented history of successful replication and extension to new conditions” “… scientific laws does not explain things, but describe them” Gravity (predicts the behavior of a dropped object, but does not explain why it happened) Relativity Page 2 Bottom
- 7. What THEY tell you… "These chemicals meet EPA standards." “ You'd have to drink a swimming pool of this stuff before it would affect you.“ "There's no evidence that this compound harms humans."
- 8. Isn’t always what THEY should be saying “ On their surface, many of these statements appear reasonable. But once you scratch the surface, they prove to be little more than carefully constructed fictions and half-truths that obscure the real facts: that EPA requires little or no testing of compounds before they are released to the environment; that cancer rates are up, especially for the young; and that certain people, particularly young children, are extremely sensitive to certain compounds.“

- 10. Alien Life Forms The UFO era began in 1947, when pilot Kenneth Arnold observed a disk-shaped aircraft flying near Mount Rainier. In 1947, the Air Force announced it had recovered a crashed "flying disk," later claiming it was merely a downed weather balloon. In 1978, a former base officer who had collected the debris said he believed the wreckage was extraterrestrial. Page 3 Top
- 11. Aliens… The truth is out there “ UFOs exist, the proof is undeniable. Thousands of people make reports yearly of strange lights performing impossible maneuvers that traditional earth-bound aircraft, commercial, military, etc; could never accomplish. While most of the world's governments try to deny the reality of their existence, they blame the sightings on natural aerial phenomenon, the planet Venus, swamp gas, weather balloons or mass hysteria.” www.aliensthetruth.com

- 18. The Statistics 1) The number of galaxies = estimated 100,000,000,000 galaxies (100 billion) 2) The number of stars in an average galaxy = 100,000,000,000 stars per galaxy. (100 billion) 3)The number of stars in the universe = That's 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, 10 thousand, billion, billion. Properly known as 10 sextillion. And that's a very conservative estimate. 4) The number of stars that have planetary systems = 10,000,000,000,000,000 planets in the universe 5) The number planets capable of supporting life. Let's assume that this is very rare among planets and rate it at only one in a million. Simple division results in: 10,000,000,000 planets in the universe capable of producing life. Ten billion!
- 19. Alien Evidence Crop Circles What are they? Patterns created by the flattening of crops such as wheat, barley, and corn In 1966 one of the most famous accounts of UFO traces happened in the small town of Australia. The sighting was made by a sugar cane farmer who witnessed a saucer shaped craft rise from a swamp and then fly away. He then went to investigate the location where the saucer had been sitting finding a circular impression in the reeds approximately 30' in diameter. Page 4 Top
- 25. Crop Circles In 1991, more than a decade after the phenomenon began, two men from England announced that they had conceived the idea as a prank at a pub during an evening in 1976. Inspired by the 1966 Tully Saucer Nests, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley made their crop circles using planks, rope, hats and wire as their only tools: using a four-foot-long plank attached to a rope, they easily created circles eight feet in diameter. The two men were able to make a 40-foot circle in 15 minutes. Page 4 Bottom
- 27. Alien Evidence Nazca Lines What are they? They are a series of geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in Peru. They were created by the Nazca culture between 200 BC and 700 AD. There are hundreds of individual figures, ranging in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys and lizards. Page 5 Top
- 31. Alien Evidence Nazca Lines The Nazca lines cannot be recognized as coherent figures except from the air. Since it is presumed the Nazca people could never have seen their work from this vantage point, there has been much speculation on the builders' abilities and motivations. Page 5 Bottom
- 35. Making the Nazca Lines Nazca people made the lines using simple tools and surveying equipment. Wooden stakes in the ground at the end of some lines (which were used to carbon-date the figures) and ceramics found on the surface support this theory Actually has been reproduced by scientists without aerial supervision Page 6 Top
- 36. So why did the Nazca peoples make them? Many scholars believe that their motivation was religious, making images that only gods in the sky could see clearly. Some scientists believed that they were intended to point to the places on the distant horizon where the Sun and other celestial bodies rose or set. Page 6 Bottom
- 37. The Alien Theory Another scientist has proposed that the lines were in fact landing strips for alien spacecraft. His argument claimed that the designs are so large and complex that they could only have been constructed using flying machines. Page 7 Top
- 39. The Aliens and Egypt Did aliens build the pyramids? If you take the perimeter of the pyramid and divide it by two times the height, you get a number that is exactly equivalent to the number pi (3.14159...) up to the fifteenth digit. The chances of this phenomenon happening by sheer chance is remarkably small. Did the ancient Egyptians know what the number pi was? Not likely, seeing as it was a number not calculated accurately to the fourth digit until the 6th century, and the pyramids calculate it to the fifteenth.
- 40. Who built the pyramids? Although the Egyptians kept very careful records about everything they ever did; every king they had, every war they fought, and every structure they built, there were no records of them ever having built the pyramids Did you know that the height of the pyramid (481 feet) is almost exactly 1/1,000,000,000 of the distance from the earth to the sun (480.6 billion feet)?

- 62. Are humans causing it? Industrialization, deforestation, and pollution have greatly increased atmospheric concentrations of water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, all greenhouse gases that help trap heat near Earth's surface. In the 1970’s, American’s were freaking out about a “global cooling” The Kyoto Project ONLY applies to developed countries Page 10 Bottom
- 63. Where does the CO 2 come from? Of the 186 billion tons of CO 2 that enter earth's atmosphere each year from all sources, only 6 billion tons are from human activity. Approximately 90 billion tons come from biologic activity in earth's oceans and another 90 billion tons from such sources as volcanoes and decaying land plants. Page 11 Top
