The fact that people who can draw such conclusions from those pictures can actually create a web site is just scary.

They were built by the same people who believed in the original Nessie photograph.

In other words, it's all in their minds.

I was directed to a "Page not found" error page.

Anyway, why did these beings decide to build cities in barren, inhostible planets in our system, then why don't see such structures on our planet, which a far more suitable place to live than the moon or Mars?

On the Earth page, I found tihs bit of pseudoscience, which I believe was refuted in an older thread here.
The disc's reactor uses a fuel which does not occur naturally on Earth. This fuel is a super-heavy, stable, element with an atomic number of 115 and does not appear on our periodic chart. Element 115 has a twofold purpose : First, it is the source of a gravity wave that is unknown to Earth's scientists, the "Gravity A" wave. Second, it is the source of the anti-matter radiation which is reacted to provide power.

The Gravity A wave eminates from the nucleus of Element 115 and actually extends past the perimeter of the atom. The propulsion system of the disc amplifies and focuses this Gravity A wave to cause space/time to bend, much like space/time bends in the intense gravitational field of a black hole. The ability to direct gravity to cause space/time distortions allows the disc to cross vast expanses of space/time without travelling in a linear mode at a high rate of speed.

Inside the reactor, the Element 115 is transmuted to Element 116 which is unstable and immediately decays releasing antimatter. The antimatter is reacted with gaseous matter which causes a total annihilation reaction, the 100 percent conversion of matter to energy. The heat from this reaction is converted to electrial energy by a solid state, near 100 percent efficient thermoelectric generator. It is this energy that is used to amplify the Gravity A wave.

The only explanation that comes close to making sense, other than being an outright fraud, is that people are seeing waves, or otters.
There is not enough animal life in Loch Ness to feed a viable population of large predators.
There isn't even enough plant life for something as big as it is claimed to be.
It has been swept shore to shore with sonar with no results.
No Nessie.

Yeah... it's actually kind of sad, since this creationist book that was published a few years ago tried to use Nessie to prove its Young Earth assertion... :roll:

Aside from the points Frank brought up, it should be noted that you cannot conclusively prove a negative. The burden of proof is upon those who would claim it exists, and so far they have failed miserably.

My question is: How do you prove your point with something that doesn't exist? That's what happens when YECs bring God into a debate, after all.

As for the Loch Ness Monster, he currently works in a casino.
