"Why are grand buildings built with extremely tall doors, when "we" are approximately six feet tall? That's a question, not a theory That they were built for "tall" people, others that are long gone! " Which grand buildings? Many older buildings and castles, for example, have doors that you have to duck through and mind your head. Large grand entrances are a statement. If they were built for “tall” people why would the internal doors not be bigger? | |||

"Just a question of scale. A normal size door on a large building would look like a mouse hole. " Castle Drogo in Devon, built in the early 20th century, has exceptional high internal doors. Don't think the guy who built it was 10 foot tall. A pub I used to run in Herefordshire, built in the 17th century with later additions, Had a few very low doorways and arches. Wonder it the original builders/owners were all under 5'5". | |||

"If thousands of years ago nobody could travel overseas why are there pyramids built to the same scale all over the world .... aliens or everything we know about history is wrong " If your civilisation wants to build a massive structure the best way is to stack stones on top of each other in a pyramid shape, not aliens, just people. | |||

"Jesus did not die on the cross. The mysterious Joseph of Arimathea (there is no such place, nor has there ever been) and others took him down after a few hours. There were able to do this because they persuaded the Romans that Jesus should be punished according to Jewish law rather than to Roman law. The punishment under Jewish law was burial alive, and so the still living (though suffering) Jesus was put in a cave. Over the next three days Jesus recovered from his ordeal on the cross while being secretly given food and water by his followers. When he emerged from the cave he had not therefore risen from the dead, as he hadn't died in the first place." pobably the one thats easiest to dismiss, petty sue jesus died on the coss after the toture he went through | |||

Of course its all about what you believe in, i didnt mean my reply to sound manifest As a Christian I believe Jesus died on the cross and rose again, but if someone is a atheist then i can understand why they wouldnt. | |||

" Trump is actually Santa so should have the right to rule Greenland." One certain conspiracy was Erik the Red, a Norse explorer, cunningly named it "Grœnland" (Greenland in Old Norse) in the 980s as a clever marketing tactic to attract settlers, promising a fertile, green land, even though much of it is ice. And yes ... 'Santa' can be an anagram of 'Satan'  | |||

""The Holy Bible" is the greatest work of fiction ever." It’s not exactly fiction or fact. It’s a bit like someone making up a story of a soldier in the D Day landings. It’s not a factual retelling, but it’s got some historical basis. So the bare bones are all truthful, but the actual details of conversation and personal happenings etc are carefully constructed to fit in. | |||

"The British government allegedly allowed the RMS Lusitania to be torpedoed by a German U-boat in 1915 to draw the US into World War I. The ship carried many American passengers, and its sinking was used to sway US opinion towards war. Some claim the British knew about the U-boat threat but didn't protect the ship. The incident helped lead to the US declaring war on Germany in 1917." A long term strategy then since it took 2 years to work. 10% of the dead were American. All passengers were warned of the danger of sailing on a British ship in those waters before the ship left New York. | |||

Then again, stupidity and ignorance are endemic, so who knows? | |||

"I think you will find the dead sea scrolls rule out the bible and the name jesus(jeysu) all together...but then again i only believe in what i can physically interact with so maybe im weird..." I think you will find the dead sea scrolls contain much of the Old Testament part of the bible and other early Jewish history, and pushed back how old we thought the bible actually was. As for any mention of Jesus in there, as they are from a period significantly before his lifetime, I’d doubt there would be any mention of him in there anyway. | |||

"JFK - i think everyone agrees he was shot from 2 sides Diana - not sure on this one, but i cant understand to this day that her bodyguard would let a d*unk get behind the wheel 911 - could go on all day, dodgy as hell. So many questions to answer with all of the 4 planes. Just google building 7 collapse, if you think that wasnt a controlled demolition i give up." Finally some proper conspiracy theories | |||

Interesting I believe thousands of books, tv programmes etc have been made about JFK s assassination. So many theories. So many solutions and conclusions. Why did the bodyguard get into the car, or allow Diana to get in the car, on that fateful night? You cannot always tell if a driver has had too much to drink unless he is totally legless. He might even have got them all safely back home if it hadn't been for the paparazzis in pursuit. Plus said bodyguard was extremely lucky to survive. The twin towers? Too many witnesses and too many films made of it actually happening to make it an 'inside' job. Sometimes you have to accept things really did happen. | |||

Shooting down a plane over a densely populated city is just not going to happen. Too much footage of the plane[s] hitting the towers by CCTV cameras as well as individuals recording it on their mobile phones. It would seem that every tragedy that has ever happen causes someone to come up with a counter claim conspiracy theory. | |||

The claim is that the buildings were pre-primed with thermite bombs to make sure it'd look like the prearranged hijacked planes caused complete destruction. There are a few videos around that show closeups of white hot, fast flowing material spewing from the lower undamaged parts of the buildings just before the collapse. Consistent with thermite, not with molten steel. It's not one I can completely buy because I simply don't know enough about the sources or what I'm seeing, but it is rather plausible. | |||

Lots of people have debunked the squibs from the buildings just before collapsing, although they are consistent with controlled demolition. This is why WTC7 is so relevant, it didn't suffer any significant damage and it was not hit by a plane, but it still collapsed. There is no good answer for that except for a controlled demolition. | |||
