    And we have to come up with a theory that explains the creation of the pyramids and other such ancient monuments in response to some ridiculous theory provided for us in the prompt (some bull about aliens). The idea is to compare the strength of the arguments. My alternative theory is as follows...

    An alternative theory to the existence of gigantic architectural masterpieces is simply that Chuck Norris created them and in some cases, such as ancient Mayan ruins, destroyed them at will. For proof we need look no further than asking the legend himself, for Chuck Norris never lies, but for argument's sake we will provide what limited evidence that remains. It is unclear as to how Chuck Norris created such monuments as the Pyramids but modern experiments have shown that even today, with today's technology, no group of individuals could recreate the pyramids. Chuck Norris is the sole individual who could have created the stones with such perfection and placed them with such ease. It is believed that the only reason the pyramids took 27 years to complete was that Norris got bored and decided to create the Taj Mahal and, after a brief nap, the Great Wall of China. It is much easier to prove that Chuck Norris destroyed things he built such as the Temple in Jerusalum, also known as the Holy Temple. The fist imprints left in the ancient destroyed stone can only belong to one being on this planet: Chuck Norris. Photographic evidence has matched the fist imprints of Norris to the chunks of rock left at the site. Chuck was not able to be reached to comment.

    I need some more ideas as this was kind of thrown together. I'm just trying to enjoy writing this essay and hopefully make it a fun read. I'm not all that familiar with Chuck Norris jokes, it was a suggestion from a friend I went with.

    For philosophy arguments, you have to simply state your case with enough duct tape to hold any argument together. In these things, people have to prove you wrong.

    Chuck Norris didn't create the Taj Mahal? OK prove me wrong. And from there, just use whatever warped logic you want to to poke holes in the argument against Chuck. You weren't there, so how do you know for certain. Maybe Chuck is god (or a god) or simply can control time and is immortal.

    One philosophy class I took in college, prof asked the following question for a quiz one day.

    Why?

    That was the entire quiz. I filled up a book and a half and got a B+ (based on sheer volume he told me). One person got an A - she answer "Because".

    i don't see how it's possible for humans to have made the pyramids then but we can't figure it out now, unless another force did it. so the aliens did it

    lol @ we can't figure out how the pyraminds were made.

    just like we couldn't figure out those lines in central america or the easter island statues, and the answers were very simple.

    i'm sure someone knows how the pyramids were made, and if no one does then we will figure it out very shortly.
