Started another thread because I found that in the end it slightly went off topic, just about like all other threads, about how Halo 2 is going to be like.
First off, Serpx, I believe that you have your scientific facts straight. Whether you copy and pasted off of another site, I cannot prove that, but your style of English did change quite noticeably when you deviated into explaining the scientific aspects of human evolution and the "forerunners" in the game Halo. I suppose just being selfaware of the facts of the scientific principles other rather ignorant scientists presented is good enough.
However, you cannot merely apply scientific principles and facts to explain the evolution of man and the species. That would be wrong and ignorant for one to do because our understanding of science is not advanced enough for us to base facts upon. I believe that the reason for your posting is nonother an attempt to create contraversy by bringing in principles that are not even worth, I believe, looking at. But we do live in democracy, so they are there at everyones disposal. To finish my 2 cents on you Serpx, I think you came out here into these forums looking for suplementary self-esteem booster so you can feel 'smart'. And you got that. From a highschool sophomore(don't remember his callsign) who says he is intelligent but can't even spell in his own language(nessessary - necessary to name one out of 4 dozen i noticed). Anyhow, i'm done bashing you, going to move on with my opinion.

There was one person's callsign "servnon"(don't remember exactly) who put out points that I didn't see nor thought of when i played the game that he pointed out:
--------------------------
Forerunner(s), FACTS. Let's get it organized. Too many posts and not enough focus!
FORERUNNER, 343 GS, FACTS:
343GS speaks of "all our lost history". (MAW)
He also speaks of the MC and his armor as if familiar with them. (upgrading and all that)
He speaks of the humans or covies in this quote, the only two "races" he has seen in 100,000+ years, yes?
--"The installation was specifically built to study and contain the Flood
-- their survival as a race was dependant on it. I am grateful to see that
-- some of them have survived to reproduce."
And he is all buddy buddy with the MC...
--"(Halo will kill the Flood's food)...but you already knew that - I mean, how couldn't you?"
--
--"Why would you hesitate to do what you have already done? Last time you asked me If it
-- were my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your query, my
-- answer has not changed - we have no choice, we must activate the ring. "
343 GS himself stated that he was activated when the flood was found active...
so he was not awake for these thousands of years, so could he still be mad? (crazy)
FORERUNNERS, SPARTANS, FACTS:
Spartans that come into contact with Forerunner technology "know" how to use it.
-- Why? This is important, maybe.
The Covenant use Forerunner technology, USE it, but they can not improve upon it.
-- Humans, or at least our technology (Cortana), can and have made vast improvements on
-- the "Covenant" technology. In a matter of hours, or days, Cortana improved both the
-- plasma weapons and the slipspace drives to pinpoint accuracy.
FORERUNNERS, GENERAL FACTS:
They have several HALO instalations, so? They were all over space, a mojor presence with mojor resources. Why move on?
-- This has happend to civilazations here on Earth, although not to a super-power.
-- Maybe they were cleaned out by the HALO networks they made.
-- Maybe they evolved into a super-natural type race.
--------------------------------------------------------
I was wondering about some of the things 343GS said, but dismissed them thinking my computer missed some dialogue like usual as it is a labtop and it is WAY below standard.
A lot of HALO story line may very well be not so Sci-Fi as everyone perceives it to be. I believe that a lot of the base HALO storyline is based on the 'lost civilizations' that earth had. So much of our history is missing that it will literally be gone forever unless we somehow manage to travel in the past.
Basing our history as human beings on evolution saying that it just happened because it happened is the same as saying that past the horizon is the end of the earth and if you go past it, you will eventually fall into the pits of hell.
I have so much to write about that I can literally take up half the space in this forums' thread. I have 5000 characters left, so i'll use that instead. If you want to talk about it more, email me and i;ll gladly give you my phone number or we can use the emailing system.
Let's get started:
There more than likely was a race of humans on another planet in our solar system. This can be theorized by the fact that there is far too much debris in between the planets Mars and Earth and the surrounding radius. This can probably explain the state Mars is right now, a desolate, dust covered, barren land. Something tirggered what we call the planet to become destablized in regards to it's long gone ecosystem. This might have been the explosion of the planet that was there. This explosion had to have been so spectacular that it literally rocked Mars' world and shifted the N and S pole axis to more than likely a chain of volcanic eruptions with destroyed the atmosphere(much like what happened in the Matrix whne humans blocked out the sun) and turned the planet into a barren wasteland unintentionally.
Now, what was that planet that was there? Who knows, I definintely don't, but I can only regurgitate some the explanations | thought were semi plausible. The people from this planet were probably more than technologically advanced than anything else in the world. Whatever happened happened 800 000 years ago( iknow someone is going to take this date and say something else happened, well duh, something else probably did happen). anyhow, I ask why is there so much variety of people on Earth(chinese, indian, inuit, celtic, russian, african?) I find it a load of horse -blam!- that it has something to do with evolution because there is just way too many gaps for to even be considered a fact. What could have happened is that whatever civilisation came from that planet had the wealth of knowledge, what happened to it? Well, it could very well explain the beginning of Atlantis and the continent that used to exist of what is now the Pacific Ocean. This time though, with Atlantis, there is more evidence supporting it's existence, although, like everything else, it is debatable.
Atlantis used to be a prosporous and extremely spiritual civilisation, for hundreds and hundreds of years it developed technology that was far beyond our reality(notice how I can't say imagination anymore - evolution anyone? or simply resurfacing of old knowledge?). This was done through the use of the Atlantian Crystal. Supposedly a 1 foot crystal shaped like a pentagon that produced free amounts of energy and grew like dandelions. If you ever happen to stop by Angola near the Black Mountain and happen to wander into it's caves, you mgiht come accross some if the KGB left any. Or maybe on the soviet KGB agents, if you're lucky to know one or find one if he isn't dead or suffering from the deseases they picked up while in Angola, can tell you whrere it is. Nevertheless, remenants have been discovered of the crystal by secret organiztions like our soviet friends.
Anyhow, Atlantis, encountering problems like we are today, subconciousely decided to repeat history. A new government developed, a modern fad type government which neglected spiritual enlightment and daily meditations with the crystals(those crstals did everything supposeldy, extended life etc...) and the mission to advance themselves biologically and technologically. They made a mistake and created a race like the Flood which got out of hand. (something like the chipucabras people are witnessing in South America) They started to kill people and destroy the lands. So, the answer was to build a super ray gun that would only destroy these genetically modified creatures. They did that by there researched attempts on tweaking the crystals power output to yield 100x the energy is capable of. They were, of course, successful. But too successful. So successful that they triggered a catastrophic blast of volcanos that lead to a chain of tidal waves which engulfed the entire Atlantian island. Perishing it and all of it's inhabitants. But not all. Some namaged to make it in their vehicles(the Disney cartoon Atlantis depcits it pretty nicely) Now, we know that some Atlantians survived because you see paitning in South American of 'god' like beings comeing from the horizons of the earth in weird bug like heads in chariots that fly. If you ask me, that's a bunch of naked tribes people saying that someone in some sorta craft came in with some sorta of headgear like a pilot, trying to establish a life again. But, the carriers of the old 'black slate' carrying knowledge to warn us so that history will not repeat were killed due to fear. They did not carry sidearms as they were pacifists. So, that was lost. But, evidence supports that more Atlantians made it. Giza plateau in Egypt, the pyramids representing the constellation of Orion, the temples of machu pichu, Spring equinox pyramids in South American, the Aztec pyramids or sacrifice. The egypt ones are more interesting due to the fact that there is so much more record of it. Imohotep, the first dynasty pharoah was one that carried the crystal to egypt and begun construction of the pyrmids. And NO, he didn't use Hewbrews as slaves ladidadida, bnuch of balogne, go with the holocaust, much more believeable. Anyhow, Moses saw the potential of the crystal----> cont'd in next reply
