Does that mean the very first human was just as smart of modern humans? I mean there has to be a begining.

Ultimately, its not like electricity, petrol or (in the case of Vimana's and the NASA Deep Space probes) mercury have just turned up. These things have always been here. It's quite arrogant to assume we are the first to discover these things.

Why are past civilisations, such as Atlantis and Mu, so damn impossible according to so many of us?

It takes a rare case, such as at Yonaguni off the southern coast of Japan, to find ruins not buried under thousands of years of silt.
I mean those ruins are recognised to be 12,000 years old - so who the heck built them if we had no civilisation past 7,000 years ago!!?

It's not just arrogant, its stupid.
Imagine the cuba crisis would have not been peacefully solved...our civilisation would have ended. Depending how far such a war would reach, if the modern countries infrastructur would have been wiped out, what would be left? Third world countries where 95% of the population still lives in huts and tents.

Science is based on the same kind of evidence that a court requires for a conviction.
Yet an innocent man can go to deathrow by mistake and a criminal can go free. Let me guess you worship the all-mighty science.

Pretty much by definition, a human being, homo sapiens sapiens, is exactly what we are now, and have been for 20,000 years or so, at least.
The 130,000 year-old reconstructed skull shown below at left represents the earliest known example of a modern human being, Homo sapiens sapiens. It was found at Omo in East Africa; skull size and shape are completely modern. Shown beside the skull are some characteristic tools of Homo sapiens sapiens, all from East or South Africa: a bola for throwing at small game, flake tools, and a long flake blade and the core from which such blades have been struck.

Who said so? Aren't you being a little to cheap with the numbers?
