Sure the tribesman have cultural beliefs like any religion on creation, but for someone who is not part of that culture and claiming to look at this as truth is ridiculous. It coudn't be more off base or without any touch in reality. I believe my truth to be greater than this specific African tribesman not because he is an African Tribesman but because he doesn't have any facts to prove what he is saying while I have proof for my truth.
I'm angry because you called me a name that was completely unwarranted for. If someone of any color tells me that story as truth then I am going to tell them you are very off base with anything realistic. You didn't ask me to think different...you called me a racist.
And seriously you can find those websites that look like shit all over the internet...but they are all ridiculous. I don't know how you can spend your time looking for those.

You are missing the point here. You say these tribal people have no facts, but they do, they are their facts. Their experiences. You come along and say they aren't true, well, how do you know? These people may think the stuff westerners believe about the bible to be as crazy to them as you tbelieve their interdimensional experiences to be.
I never claimed it to be the truth, I simply believe it is wrong for me to say my experiences are more accurate than theirs. That is conceited as hell. He would tell you his facts are his experiences, and you would say, those arent facts? I dont understand where you get off.
What is your proof of truth? Pick any truth you hold on to.
