That's not a valid comparison. The country China can be seen, heard, and smelled. It exist. We all know that.

Holy crap are you dense..lol. I meant the last statement as a joke by saying thats what believers always come back with when given a rational answer. If we say why don't aliens do this and that and when it appears to be too rationale for the believers they say because we don't think like them.

You say that you know or think that extra-terrestrial/extra-dimensional beings can't or don't exist, are you saying that the eyewitness to an event can't know these things either?
Are you limiting another person's sphere of knowledge based on your pre-existing belief on these issues?
Example: If a high ranking government official comes out and says he has first hand knowledge that these things exist, do you limit what he/she can know based on your pre-existing belief on these issues?
If a person you know to be credible comes to you and says they were visited by these beings and this person has never been known to make up stories, do you say these things could not have happened based on your personal belief about these issues? Are you saying that your friend couldn't know and experience these things based on what you believe?
If so, how is this logical? Are you saying that nobody can know about these things because you believe these things don't or can't exist?
If you are, then you are limiting others sphere of knowledge based on what you believe about these issues.

Do you not see the point, there are thousands of eye witness testimonies of people that have been in contact with aliens yet you can always sit back and call the earth flat or round whichever you were taught to believe in. You could never prove to me the earth was truly round or could you? You could show me a mathematical equation, satellite pictures, books and books on the subject but it could all be fake for all we know.
Can you show me the world is round? Have you personally seen earth from space?.

No..most of what we believe in can be based on undeniable proof and facts.
