There are nothing but a bunch of theories, each contradicting (or at least being inconsistent) with all others.
There are differing theories, yes. And they differ because there were lots of different ways that pyramids could've been built back then. It doesn't make them right or wrong, but all plausible. The reason nobody knows for sure how they were built is because we weren't alive back then to verify it.
So yes, it's a "fact" that how they were built isn't exactly known. But the (actual) fact that there are so many plausibe theories of how they did it shows how insane you are that you blindly accept aliens as the "facts."

They still debate whether slave or skilled labor built the pyramids.
Who debates on that?
Clearly both would be involved.

You are definitely crazy. Or just trolling, which would be fairly impressive.

Here is where you and I differ.
You view "40 different explanations" as meaning one must be right.
I view "40 different explanations" to mean "if one was right, there would not be 40 different explanations."
All the common explanations can be debunked - except one - alien assistance. No one has debunked it with any kind of proof.
Here's just one of many articles on slave v. paid labor:

I have a better example:
You are on a jury. The prosecution presents 12 witnesses, each of whom presents a different theory on how the defendant robbed a bank. Would you say "one must be right so I'll vote guilty?"

Wow, that was uncalled for and I think you are better than that.
I "dumb down" my posts? Really? Do you not notice the perfect spelling? Bad spelling is the first sign that someone is stupid. I made A's in school. I did well on my college testing. I'm not stupid - not even close. People who know me in person would not call me stupid - crazy, perhaps, but not stupid.
1. Dumbed down =/= stupid. Matter of fact, I specifically didn't use the word stupid so you wouldn't think I was calling you that. My fault for assuming that I guess.
2. Just because you can speak/type eloquently doesn't mean the things you are saying aren't stupid.
3. What I mean is that you seem to be (assuming this isn't all an act) choosing to believe that the most random, idiotic, outlandish explanations for everything is "fact." Numerous people counter your arguments with sound logic and science, yet you dimiss those things because you didn't see them mentioned on a fake TV entertainment show. So that's what I mean by being dumbed down on purpose...you seem to be smart enough to type correctly (and I do the same thing on here, always) yet you choose to believe the most hilariously stupid things...and then take it a step further by claiming them as "facts."
I hope that clears things up a bit.

You seriously trying to compare that to your crazy whack job alien theories???

one time i saw a movie where they discovered giant mummies in egypt. one came to life and wreaked havoc.
they could have built the pyramids.
they could have built the pyramids.

Having an open mind and listening to the many scientists, religious scholars, and others who provide information on AA does not make one "believe the most hilariously stupid things."
The government depends on people to believe them on things like chemtrails. I'm not that gullible. I'm a skeptic.

As long as the evidence shows without doubt that the defendant robbed the bank, how he did it isn't really relevant.

I was showing that his logic was warped. The more "theories" about how something happened, the less likely it is that any of the theories are correct.
There is only one theory that ingestion of arsenic will kill a human.
So it is a fact.

Your statement gave me trouble at first, then I realized the flaw: how can you show the defendant robbed the bank "without doubt" when there are twelve theories?
You are engaging in circular reasoning.

I'm gonna need you to familiarize yourself with what "theory" means.
And, again, there are so many differing theories on how it was done because nothing can be proven at this point. And that is the crux of your "it's aliens" agenda. All you have to do to convince yourself is say "Those are theories but they don't know how it was done...so clearly it was aliens."
Most normal, rational people would immediately laugh at themselves for saying that. Yet you use it to strenghthen your beliefs.

No, they haven't. In fact, they've been proven to work in ways that would've allowed people of that time to accomplish the things in question. You just choose to ignore that.
And you say all you want that nobody can debunk aliens, all while having no evidence (key word) that aliens even exist outside of a few crackpot theories.

All sorts of ways. DNA evidence, maybe he bled on the scene? Maybe he was found with the stolen money? Maybe he was captured on surveillance entering and leaving at the right time? Maybe it was an electronic theft and the funds appeared in his account but no one is sure how he hacked in?

I see you're worse at analogies than you are at presenting compelling arguments for your case.
That's not the analogy. That analogy would apply to this case if I believed that all 12 theories of how he robbed the place were feasible and believable. But that's the lawyer's job, not the jury. The jusy hears the lawyers present their cases (theory) of how it was done, and then decide if they buy it or not. So to try to cram this example in your poorly-chosen analogy, if the lawyer came up with 12 different ways he robbed the bank, the jury would pick which one was the most logical to prove that he did it (or didn't).

Agreed.
Yet here you are two weeks ago literally citing Ancient Aliens as a credible source and "proof" that aliens exist and helped build the pyramids, Nazca lines, Stonehenge, etc.
And so we're clear, AA is a fake entertainment show on television. And that is one of your main "sources."

I'm not sure I could possibly disagree with you any more on both of those things.

I think I would make a good co-worker. But, if I was working, I don't think I would spend much time talking about ancient aliens. I would try to steer clear of controversial topics (though it should not be controversial).
