Here is a longer version of the video that includes the scientists.

This story isn't worth the effort, but for important stories, I want to know who is telling the story and what their motives are before believing or not believing that story. The mystery of crawling desert rocks does give a tiny bit of background about who the scientists are, so you can decide if they are full of bullshit.

Whether it's global warming or moving stones, it comes down to whether the people who are telling the story have a motive to mislead. AURaptor has the weakness of NOT believing people who have no reason to lie because of the other half of that trait, which is wholehearted belief in whatever EURapture wants to believe even though the story tellers have very powerful and obvious motives to lie like rugs.

Example: scientists paid by oil companies are a poor source for reliable global warming stories. Another example: used car salesmen are a poor source of reliable data for . . . well, everything about a used car. If telling the truth makes more money, than truth wins. If telling lies makes more money, than lies win. After living in the USA for so long, AURaptor ought to know that, but keeps forgetting the simple rules about who to trust and, instead, goes with gut feelings.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Interesting explanation.

Anytime mysticism & " magic " can be debunked by solid science, I consider it a win.

Mark this off the list.

Lacking motive to lie or not isn't the determining factor in whether the science is solid. You can be sincere as hell, an still be wrong. Motive isn't always what drives conclusion. Not sure why second decided to go all ad hominem on me in this thread, when it's pretty straight forward. Moving stones was a curious mystery. Why not just focus on the topic , and leave the rest be?

Excellent question.
An excellent opportunity to step back and review, consider perspective.

The forum/board is Real World Event Discussion, within the Firefly Fans Network site.

It seems the libtards consider any fabrication or delusion to be "Real World" because they live in the world of delusion which is the foundation for their political beliefs. They are "all in" with the Science Fiction because all of their thoughts and founding concepts are fictional. When anybody disagrees with their version of fiction, or their delusion, those are "liars" or realists without qualifications or credentials. These libtards consider Science Fiction, Math Fiction, Thought Fiction, Political Fiction, Historical Fiction to be included, part and parcel within the "Real World" as they know it.
They consider "facts" (as defined by what they are willing to accept from their libtard leader drones) to have a libtard bias, because "libtard facts" really do have a libtard bias, and they consider these to be a part of their "Real World" as they know it. When they encounter actual facts (aka unbiased facts, or facts without libtard bias), they believe these to be within the realm of Science Fiction, and without creedance or credibility.

Reasonable people, on the other hand, consider Facts, truth, debunking myths & magic, etc. to be actual Real World occurrences - not related to Science Fiction. Therefore it seems reasonable to us to categorize facts as a separate "Real World" subject, not within the Science Fiction realm. It seems reasonable to us to categorize truth or Science Fact (Law, principle) as a separate "Real World" subject, not within the realm of Science Fiction. It seems reasonable to us to consider the debate of scientific facts - while discarding the junk science of the libtards - to be a "Real World" enterprise, thus not within the realm of Science Fiction.

This is why you infuriate libtards by introducing factual evidence amidst their quasi-factual junk science delusions in a forum which we reasonable understand as Real World (outside of Science Fiction) but they think of as the "Real World" extension of their (Science) Fiction.

The raptard has never produced a single fact as long as I've been here.

And remember, JSF, you know nothing of history, as you've shown time and again.

You two (really one) really couldn't be any more fucking stupid and still live. It's a wonder your brains could even learn human speech.

Keep the Shiny side up

Death Valley itself is a fantastic place. Madame and I have been there several times and it never fails to surprise us. We went through once after a rare rainstorm, and the valley floor was blanketed in wildflowers. Their seeds had been waiting years for enough moisture to germinate and reproduce.

There are actually fish, the Death Valley pupfish, living it the hot and salty water at some of the lowest elevations.

Never made it to the Racetrack Playa, but we're committed to renting a FWD and going out there next time we're in the area.

And yet, being alive and having learnt ( doing that just to piss you off ) human speech, you're wrong, yet again.

True scientists did the basic work needed to solve this mystery. Real field work, & not just pointed headed theorizing .

If there were billions of dollars and hundreds of jobs at stake those scientists would have said anything Al Gore and their grant givers with political agendas told them to say.

There are very curious events which have taken place, which seem to defy explanation, at least at first glance.

Take for example the case of the UFO sighting during WW2, off the CA coast. Or a few years later, where 'objects' appeared over Washington D.C. Where as I think a vast majority of UFO stories can be explained away, I've yet to find solid, credible explanations for these events.

Elaborate Hollywood hoax ? Or something else ?

Much like the crawling rocks, I suspect there are curious, though not fantastic truths behind these mysteries.

Glad to see that there is a tiny hand picked number that you personally approve of.

Me, bah. I say, where is the consensus. We need 100% of every single scientist in the world to get on board before we can say this is true.

yeah, about that 97% consensus...it's not true.

Never was.

The Cook et al. (2013) 97% paper included a bunch of psychology studies, marketing papers, and surveys of the general public as scientific endorsement of anthropogenic climate change.

Let's go ahead and walk through that sentence again. The Cook et al 97% paper included a bunch of psychology studies, marketing papers, and surveys of the general public as scientific endorsement of anthropogenic climate change. There are multiple acts of fraud in this study, but I was blindsided by this one. I found half of these in ten minutes with their database -- there will be more such papers for those who search longer. I'm not willing to spend a lot of time with their data, for reasons I detail further down. In June, I contacted the journal – Environmental Research Letters – and called for the retraction of this paper, and it's currently in IOP's hands (the publisher of ERL). I assume they found all these papers already, and many more:

It's wonderful to see how full of holes your whole world view is and how it chops and changes depending upon what fox tells you to believe.

Basically you've got a nerve quoting any scientists, when you've spent I don't how many years on this board dissing scientists and claiming that science is akin to a cult or a religion.

You're a classic sheeple. Baaaaahhhhhh.

Never claimed any such a thing. I just think the issue of AGW is more politically driven than science. The " solution " to solving the crisis is more taxes, redistribution of wealth and more govt control of individual's lives.

Shocker ! Those happen to be the cornerstone of Leftist thought when it comes to how govt should work.

I just find it funny that to back up their claims that AGW is legit, scientist send ships to the antarctic, which get stuck in ice. The very ice they claim is melting away.

Look at the 2nd post in this thread for your answer.
