In reply to the discussion: NBC News: Mysterious California Crop Circle plowed over [View all]Berlum
(7,044 posts)...It makes no assertions about anything other than that the crop circle existed, and then was rapidly obliterated. Whatever evidence of whatever cause has been erased.
Most of the talk and insinuation on this thread about impossible aliens, improbable space forces, or whatever else has come from the provincial kneeJerk reactions of the Scientific Materialist Claque, eager to set up strawmen they can assault with their pre-formed opinions. They cling to their theory as unchallengeable fact: that the thousands upon thousands of crop circles that have been formed around the world, have been created (largely in secret) by fun-loving prankster beer drinkers with ropes and boards
One can only observe that in hewing to this stance the Scientific Materialist Claque is to science as the Teabaggers are to politics. Not a one of the rowdy SM MindMobsters writes to encourage a thorough exploration and evaluation of whatever forensic evidence may be available concerning the California crop circle that is factually cited in the OP. Nor is there any acknowledgement that actual research into the actual cause of the California crop circle might be worthwhile. Rather, as usual, the corroding clique of claquesters remains passionately invested in their pre-formed opinions, and then in projecting those fantasies onto others.
So - LeftyMom -- if you are looking for a good fantasy script, you need look no further than the woozy woebegone claque of scientific materialists skulking about in cybersphere with their pre-formed judgements, poised to pounce like a pack of rabid, teeth-slashing, bone-gnashing jackals on any poor soul who questions the Orthodox Received Perception of Reality.
Recalling how the scientific materialists of yesteryear persecuted Galileo for his heliocentric heresy, one today can only gnash teeth and rend garments upon realizing - alas -- that the same narrow spirit survives on into the 21st Century.
