Re:I'm gonna need some help on this, guys - 2007/02/26 05:27
Hi, all. This is my first post here, so be gentle. I'm a skeptic (I post at JREF, BAUT, and Skeptical Community, to name a few forums.)
If this guy believes in Atlantis, get him to show you where it is on a simple map of the world. Remind him that the only reference to Atlantis older than 100 years or so is from Plato (The Timaeus or The Critias, or both - I forget at the moment), who said it was outside the Pillars of Hercules (the entrance to the Mediterranean). Then find a decent map of the ocean floor, showing that a continent the 'size of Asia' (according to Plato) DOES NOT EXIST UNDER THE ATLANTIC.
Knowing woos, he might waffle on a bit, but it should cause major doubts in his mind.
