"We owe it to our self-respect to be rational and objective."

Insane thing for known crazy person and conspiracy theorist Erich von Däniken to say

"Am I embittered and worn down by the overdrawn and mendacious critics of the last quarter-century?"

If you're wondering "how much of this bullshit can Sam take in once sitting" the answer is 2 and a half chapters I'm taking a break

Again, the difference between this man and a real archeologist is that when archeologists don't know why an ancient culture did something they say "we don't know" and when this guy doesn't know he says "it was undoubtedly to communicate with people in flying spacecrafts"

Okay but see the difference between science and this guy is that when science doesn't have an answer you got "well we don't know"

And when this guy doesn't have an answer he goes "aliens did it"
