Back to the Future

Where have I been for the last two years? I wasn't abducted by aliens. I wasn't in hibernation. I was in fact busy trying to flog a dead horse... trying to build a career in education. I probably couldn't have chosen a worse time and circumstances haven't been entirely kind to me either.

Anyway, let's not make this fresh post too morose. I have created two shiny new forums, where I'm still in the early stages of trying to establish a membership. I have however built them around subjects which are very close to my heart and they look quite nice too, so I'm hopeful that they will spring to life.

My first forum is called "ancientstuff" and the main theme is the probablility that planet Earth has seen the rise and fall of advanced civilizations in the distant past. The evidence is fairly substantial and you don't have to believe in Atlantis to make this hypothesis work.

The other forum I have created is for people with an interest in UFOs or alien lifeforms in general. It's called "iSAWaUFO" and it is a place to share personal stories of sightings, theories about UFOs and evidence including images and video.

I would be more than happy for anyone of you to drop by my forums and participate freely, if either of these subjects are of interest to you.

World In Collision V's Earth Crust Displacement

Perhaps I just come from a strange family, but my father and I hold widely separated views regarding the ending of the last Ice Age, and the global flooding events, volcanic activity etc. which accompanied that era. While my father is a proponent of Immanuel Velikovsky's "Worlds In Collision" theory, aseerting that a large comet impacted the Earth, I myself, am a fervent supporter of Charles Hapgood's "Earth Crust Displacement" theory, which suggests that the massive volume of Ice, which covered North America, pulled the Earth's crust around to displace that mass. Much evidence backs up that theory:

• The rapid freezing of animals in Siberia
• The mystery of Atlantis (could have been Antartica)
• The global mythology of flood events
• Einstein, like me, thought it was a great theory

Of course, it's possible that some combination of both theories actually happened, or neither, but that's the beauty of theories, if no-one can disprove them, then they stand the test of time !
