Objective, reproducable and verifiable results

History books are definately some of the least correct books available. It
takes a great deal of reading to collect a close to accurate (which is not the
same as factual) accounting of history. Again, for History to be accurate, you
need multiple written accountings and records that are verifiable and
objective.

Because you have already described too much non-verifiable, non-objective
items. From the different types of Indian which have no ruins, no history and
nothing but non-verifiable - non-objective plates to say they existed. Even the
plates themselves were whisked away by an "angel" that no one saw but a small
handfull of people, and they kept no verifiable or objective record of the
plates. In fact, no single verifiable or objective comment has yet to be utterd
byyou other than the realization that Star Trek is just a television show. (A
good one in my opinion)
That is why we dont take it seriously. There is no way you could convert a 12
yr old, much less a reasoning adult. You need any evidence, anything that is
tangible.
