It depends on what an individual calls evidence.
Personally, when I compare the evidence presented by others who have had personal experiences, with those who resolutely state that alien visitation
has never happened, I am inclined to side with the idea that there has been some visitation.
There are depictions of strange beings and craft in historical documents and imagery.
There are historical accounts of "sky gods" and stories of people arriving to advise in periods of catastrophe scattered throughout religious and
social history.
There are numerous accounts of modern sightings by professionals and public alike.
And in contrast, those who say it's impossible cannot tell me why it would be impossible. These are the same people who seem to think that the Human
race is a miracle. That in the billions of solar systems out there, somehow this little rock is the only one supporting intelligent life, and that
even if there is other life out there we are the most advanced. This is something I find more ludicrous than any bizarre story of abduction.
We are a minuscule spot in the vastness of the universe, and we still have the arrogance to think we are all alone and that more advanced life could
not possibly exist?
We went to the Moon, and we would go elsewhere if we had the financial and scientific commitment to do so. So why do we believe that other, more
intelligent life forms wouldn't?
Just three or so decades before the Moon landing it would have seemed impossible, yet we're now able to send robots to Mars.
We can spot potentially habitable planets, why would a more advanced race be incapable of this?
I truly believe we are an extremely limited, short-sighted and arrogant form of life. We think we're remarkable, special, alone. But simple
mathematics and the rules of probability would alone suggest that the universe is teeming with life, and that much of that life will be far more
intelligent than us.
