Fringe beliefs - Do you have any?

evidence-almost every major group of people has a story of a great flood.
Maybe that was Noah's flood. You know, Noah and the Ark.

There is no geological evidence of a flood at the time as told in the Bible, even plus or minus a thousand years. Most likely, it's an oral tradition passed down through generations (like Genesis and other stories). It may, however, be loosely based on an actual event. Namely, the melting of the Ice Age polar caps causing the sea levels to rise dramatically. Seen that way, it give credibility to the Cycle of Civilizations theory I mentioned before.

There's also a very famous equation (I can never remember the name of it) that shows that there are so many stars in so many galaxies that even the smallest probability of life means there are thousands of civilizations out there. The big question is if they could or would make the journey here to continuouly investigate us or if we will ever be able to or willing to visit them.


Anybody hear about the prediction that a chamber would be found under the Sphynx that would contain the lost writings of Atlantis? Heard that a siosmic survey of the valley showed a chamber, but nobody can get permission to excavate because of the risk of damage to the Sphynx.
