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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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."

There really isn't any evidence that aliens weren't involved in building the pyramids. None of us were there when they were built. We base our beliefs of who built them on evidence of what we think happened.

Logical reasoning only works on people with the ability to think logically. Belief is what you get when reasoning has left the building, or in this case the pyramid.

If you think that is bad, visit a flat eart group on Facebook.

That's not so bad. I have colleagues to believe their invisible friend rules the universe and they have to obey his every command or suffer torment for eternity

I dont believe that they did it but I do believe they had an influence.

Try debating a holocaust denier, it's even worse, because we have proof, and they still think their opinion is the truth.

technically speaking, he's right. You CAN'T prove they didn't. But you also CAN'T prove they did. You'll have to agree to disagree.

Sorry, but those two statements do not exist on equal footing. One person is making the claim, and it is not for the other to prove this negative. The believer must convince the unbeliever, who makes no claim. It is for him to be convinced.

Well, even if I disagree with your colleague's opinion I must say is argument is valid. You actually can't prove the aliens didn't build the pyramids. It's silly but true...

This is apparently a common conspiracy theory. I happen to know someone who swears by this. He says aliens didn't build them.. something from outer space dropped down and the people built over it, scared of what it could be. He showed me some website about how the rock/substance/metal they found inside the pyramids doesn't match any other matter we have on earth. It was pseudoscience for sure, but a great read lol

I believe it's a possibility the aliens built the pyramids
