Rock piles are not walls…

 A recent email communication, addressed to me and possibly to the "Rock Piles" blog as well, although the "Wake up!" seems aimed at my blog "Waking Up On Turtle Island:"



  I find that: “The Mudfossil hypothesis is an observational science, 1st proposed by Roger Spurr and now by many others. This theory holds that rocks and mountains resemble petrified creatures and such resemblances are due to the fact they were living at one time.

  This constitutes some evidence for us that many rock forms are composed of the fossilized petrified remains of dead life forms and in the case of larger rock formations and mountain faces, some of these life forms were enormous,” according to the Amazon blurb for several related publications.“

  I find that there’s an Acedemia.edu page for this “Mudfossil Business,” but there’s not too much to read but plenty to see on the YouTube, if one has an enormous amount time to waste listening to the rather bizarre delusions put forth regarding the “Discovery of ancient giant body parts (stones which) were tested and shown to be human. They were DNA tested, CAT scanned and anatomist verified:”

  Accused of being delusional myself, I find that "The distinction between a delusion and a strongly held idea is sometimes difficult to make and depends in part on the degree of conviction with which the belief is held despite clear or reasonable contradictory evidence regarding its veracity."  Bortolotti, L. (7 June 2013). "Delusions in the DSM 5". Imperfect Cognitions.



 “A bizarre delusion, by contrast, is something that could never happen in real life, such as being cloned by aliens or having your thoughts broadcast on TV. A person who has such thoughts might be considered delusional with bizarre-type delusions.” https://www.webmd.com/schizophrenia/delusional-disorder
