In point of fact, we have discovered quite a lot about the Mayan civilization. You need to visit some more Mayan web sites and read some current archeological journals. But due to the fact we have not yet deciphered much of their writings, we have some gaps in our knowledge. Not all information is at the same level for all civilizations. Some have yet to be studied still. Science always admits its gaps. But until you can (using the scientific method) prove we will never know, then it is just an unknown. Not a MYSTERY, not WERID, not anything, except... an unknown. Not something that will never be known (if you think so, prove it), just something not fully understood YET! It is specious to argue that just because you cannot fully answer all questions, you don't know anything about a subject. A logic course would have taught you that.

Sorry about the mispellings. I am a land surveyor and we are not suppsed to be able to speel. Its the sign of a good surveyor.
I use firefox and speel chick does not work with that browser.
I am bowing out of this debate. Obviously when I make a very valid point it is indicated I am just plain stupid and cannot have an opinion in my uneducated mind that is valid.
I have gotten through life on common sense. I have no real formal education. I have no business degree yet I own a very successful businss run on my instincts. Hell, I am not educated past high school my parents could not afford to put me through college. Once I started working in the real world to save to go to college I decided not to bother. I have never regretted it.
I think my point has been perfectly made. I have stood in Chichén Itzá during the fall equinox. Any idea what happens there during the exact moment of the equinox? These people were not stupid, they were very advanced. Their civilization disappeared 1100 years ago and scientists are totally baffled as to why. This was ONLY 1100 years ago!! Thery cannot even find their buried dead and have no idea what they did with them.
You are trying to tell me scientists know for a fact what was going on 100 million years ago when they cannot figure out what happened 1100 years ago? I say Bull my instincts say BULL!! Its all guessing beeing masked as intelligence and education and when contested the contestor is being dismissed as a stupid, uneducated fundamentalist who's opinion is not valid.
I refer to you to my 1st post in this thread. We are right back where we started.
