Stating that something is so is not proof. Posession and display of
evidence that has been established as holding up under scientific
scrutiny is proof.
I can just as easily give you "proof" that neither of those that you
claim is true. There have been several individuals and groups who have
come froward admitting to being involved in creating the crop circles.
The claim of plans for a water powered car is not proof. What would be
proof is chemical reaction equations showing exactly what is claimed to
be going on. Instead there are "secret ingredients" etc.. If sacred
geometry were true as seen on the site you posted, then the equations
would hold up under scrutiny. They don't. I've seen the same thing with
a guy by the name of Cathie, from NZ who wrote a book about the earth's
harmonics as an explaination of the energy sources of ufos, etc. I
freind of mine went on and on about this guy, until he showed me the
book with all of its fancy equations, which I promptly showed were not
mathematically valid.
Much of the claimed "mystery" to the world is usually caused by
hypnotism, self delusion, hallucination, fraud, and slight of hand. The
rest can and/or will be explained by science. Granted there are some
true mysteries out there: 1) why do Saturn's rings remain stable? How
does ball lightning work? Why after all the scandals, do Bill Clintons
approval ratings remain so high?
There is NOTHING in this universe that cannot be explained by science.
