Today, I found out that one of my colleagues believes that aliens built the pyramids. No amount of logical reasoning or evidence has had any effect on his argument of, "but you can't prove they didn't." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend of eight years explained to me that the Egyptian pyramids were built by aliens from Mars. I have a B.S. in Biology and an M.S. in Anthropology, and I'm working on my Ph.D. She thinks I'm an irrational idiot for telling her she's wrong. FML
Today, I made a new friend. He seemed pretty cool, until we came to the topic of religion and the ancient alien theory. I'm seemingly now friends with a guy who thinks alien Jesus raped an Earth woman, and we're the resulting cross-breed. FML
Today, I told my long-distance friend about the flooding in Florida due to the Supermoon. He's a Flat Earther and despite proof, denies the coincidence because he believes the moon and gravity aren't what we're taught. FML
Today, after a long discussion, my dad still doesn't understand how evolution works, and thinks it's a myth that was debunked a long time ago. FML
Today, I went to the Natural History Museum with my boyfriend. While we were standing in front of real dinosaur bones, he told me he didn't believe in dinosaurs. FML
Today, I had to explain to my husband that the Earth is not flat. He didn’t believe me. FML
Today, my dad lost his mind over the meteorite incident in Russia. He's convinced that it's part of some big government conspiracy to cover up a UFO crash-landing, and now he won't stop dismissively calling us "sheep" and telling us "do the research" just because we don't agree with him. FML
Today, my daughter announced on Facebook that she is directly descended from extra-terrestrials. That would be okay - except she's 25 and believes it's true. FML
Today, I disproved a scientific theory created by my supervisor. He was furious and said that I shouldn't have tried to disprove him. He told me to continue working with his theory and now he threatens to fire me if I publish my work. FML
Today, I found out that a female colleague thinks that because I got a vasectomy, I "got my balls chopped off." Then again, this woman also believes the cracks in her front brick fence are because her house is built on the equator. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Only a fool believes that aliens built the pyramids. They were obviously built by the Illuminati. Why else do you think they're in the shape of a triangle?

"Yes, I can." "Well, then do it. Prove aliens didn't build the pyramids." "I already did. Prove I didn't."

Were you preaching religion to him?

Immature of him, but unless you can prove beyond doubt how the pyramids were built, you have no claim to absolute truth either. For the record, no I do not think pyramids were built by E.T.

I love that argument, it's how I (jokingly) persuaded someone to admit that magic could theoretically be real - he even used science to end up proving my point, it was awesome. Seriously though, that is the thought process behind a lot of the world's beliefs. It's how people have hope that there are better things out there than what they can see and experience everyday. If this guy wants to believe in aliens, let him; he's not hurting anyone.

What common folk call magic is simply undiscovered science.

But we can't see science either. We can't see gravity, forces, waves, energy, any of that stuff. So by that logic people who believe in science would be no different than people who believe in a religion/deity(s).

No. One has evidence--even physical evidence, and one has none. If it was all built oin faith, you wouldn't not be typing on your keyboard, and the pyramids would not be built. We would not have forks to eat with, nor hammers to pound. There would be no simple machines, nor complex ones, like that mobile phone, who's technology could take you beyond the moon/. I mean, who would be an idiot enough to go to space in a machine built by faith? I can make you one out of cardboard and wish real hard, and that would be on equal footing with Belief.

What an idiot...obviously they were built by the illuminati

Explain to him a little something called "Burden of Proof". Basically, the person making the more extraordinary claim is the one who is required to prove his claim. In this case, he's the one who is claiming that aliens built the pyramids, so he is the one who has to prove it. Otherwise, he loses the argument.

... So what? Stop putting down people's beliefs.

There's no evidence OP did put down his beliefs ;)

Beliefs are not sacred. If they're bullshit, they should be treated as such.

It's a waste of time to argue with fools.

There is actually quite a bit of evidence showing aliens were the cause of not only the pyramids but quite a bit of other historical building formations as well
