4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, implausible escapism - A truly original book., 5 Mar 2001
By A Customer
"According To The Evidence" was Erich Von Daniken's fifth book in a series which attempted to convince the world that the Earth was visited by extraterrestrial beings in ancient times; that mankind is the product of an alien experiment; and that God was an astronaut from another planet and not a spritual being. The book tries to back up these theories with photographs of ancient artifacts which resemble spacemen effigies, references in the bible and other religious texts to spaceships, and geographical anomalies around the world. "According To The Evidence" does, however, tend to blind the reader with scientific jargon to add weight to these theories. The pages covering time dilation and the possibilities of interstellar travel are interesting and easy to grasp. But the piece where the author claims to contact Jules Verne (the nineteenth century writer) via a psychic medium to ask for advice, verges on the ridiculous. But this of course is the nature of the book - to open the mind of the sceptic. The "evidence" to which the title refers is not wholly convincing - just theories. This book, which follows on from "Chariots Of The Gods" and "Return To The Stars", caused controversy around the globe when it was first published, mainly due to its almost total insensitivity towards established Christian and Muslim beliefs. However it is not a dangerous book which makes a mockery of organised religion; it is just plain fun to read. It inspires in the reader a feeling of "What if this is true?" rather than "Yes I believe this book". The book reads like science fiction written as fact and it is little wonder that this book, along with the others in the series, have a worldwide cult following. At a guess, half of its readers will find it highly implausible, the other half will find it mildly convincing, but all I am sure will enjoy it. Because, although originally written in the seventies, and containing many unrealised predictions about 'future' alien contact, it is still one of the best and most original books about the origin of humans, alien contact and the nature of God. Compelling reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars the evidence, 21 Feb 2007
By J. Hughes "plateosaurus" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book describes and provides insights to questions never asked and provides some evidence and therefore it is a great insight that provokes and captures great imagination-but what if it is mostly correct? Wouldnt it make sence. Since today all we do is think we know the answers and thats the way it is.Well as an open minded person it cannot be and how stupid we were to once think the galaxy revolved around us-well it doesnt but if it werent for the likes of the author and others to explore and question these -we would be left in a bland -repeat every day-everyday world -You cannot deny the truth by destroying evidence that you cant except becasue it changes everthing-
We need to shut up and listen to the evidence that supports giants and the alien existance -
Now i dont agree with everything this book says but it does say alot and it best it has someone to believe and ask more about existance as a whole.
We think we are so great to do what we do and never ask -why-were-how -who or what?-
I am sure not everyone will agree with what is written in the book but i wish i really could disprove it all -but its impossible to ignore the evidence that is conclusive.
When NASA and the goverment admit that it has been hiding deep and dark secrets -it will be only the beginning as they cant hide it forever.
