The only reason I replied to your thread is that it is a featured article for today.
You won't find me speculating or engaging in arguments about discredited theories.
You are entitled to your opinion and likewise I am entitled to my own... or do you expect everyone to agree with you?
No, I do not expect everyone to agree with me, that's insane. And I did ask for feedback. But what you did was
1. Accuse me of spreading disinformation (which I am not! I am merely submitting new theories)
2. And tell me that I should stop posting my theories because they discredit the 9/11 truth movement.
Well, my response is that if you think someone like me can come along and discredit the 9/11 truth movement by posting one alternative theory, then
they must be standing on some pretty shaky ground for that to happen.
Science and truth always benefits from there being more than one theory out there at any one time. What if demolition and disintegration BOTH
happened? What if both theories are right? What if someone tried to demolish the buildings, but then someone else came along and disintegrated them?
Maybe to prevent them from causing more damage than they would have by being demolished?
The truth is is that there is room for MORE than one theory. If you're going to be so narrow minded to say that NOBODY can submit any theory that
conflicts with the current prevailing theory, then you are no better than the church bishop who almost beheaded Galileo for submitting his theory that
the earth was round. They accused HIM of spreading disinformation, too!
And that means that you are no better than those creatitionists who believe that the human civilization cannot be older than 7,000 years old because
that would conflict with the Bible, which is also narrow-minded.
There is always room for more than one theory for any given subject. That is how truth is eventually found.
I'm not saying I'm definitely right....I'm just saying it's a theory.
But you should not automatically accuse me of trying to spread disinformation or "discredit' the 9/11 truth movement. If their theories are truly
right, then having another theory in the mix should not hurt them one bit. There is always room for another theory in any scientific endeavor.
