Ignorance once again..
I said technologically; also 200,000 has not even been proved. But human footprints have been found alongside dinoprints in layers of rock.. whic is suggesting much older then 200, 000.
But again my perception is based on feeling and logic. Your perception is based on ignorance and what someone else told you (mainstream science).
If it was really undeniable we wouldn't have discussions like this.

There is undeniable evidence of their existence, this is not even an argument anymore. Like I said this all comes down to honesty with yourself..
That video is used mostly by people when they mean "you should accept what I say as the truth".

As long as you believe in yourself and your own experience after personal analyzing the situtation.. that is all that matters. People are forgetting that, humans dont NEED some authority to tell us what is right or wrong. Hundreds of thousands of years ago man saw things in the skies, saw beings, and they drew them on cave walls.
But we have always translated our experiences into vocal langauge. This information is stored as language. Modern humans think in words. Words are foreign to the mind, but after a lifetime of subconsciously conditioning the mind with your 'native' language, the indivudals perception changes. You know longer have use for your mental capabilities, you live in a society where perception is based on 2 things; obvservation of the 5 sense or what anyone else tells you.
This paralell part to the human-mind system is what is missing in most people today. The ability to use their minds in multple ways. To think and perceive in more complex ways then language or words and the ideas that come with them.
So if we see a ship in the sky, our conditioned minds immedately start to analyze the situation with everything our subconscious knows; bird, plane, swamp gas, superman... Our subconscious mind doesnt realize that this particular thing is alien or foreign to it, by the time its gone the mind has already narrowed it down to what it maybe.

Show us some Empirical data that any of this stuff is true, and we'll happily line up.

With extra worldly subjects you cannot have evidence... that's why it is extra worldly.
It's completely rational not to believe. I personally believe if you commit to belief you are better off as a person. More open and more well-rounded.

If you do not practise meditation or any type of mind exercises.. then your mind capabiliy and potential is shut down or "asleep" as we spiritual call it. You wont understand or experience because you dont want to go inside of yourself.
This is WHY you dont believe.

DO you have empirical evidence of the potential of your mind?

Yes, in many unexplained cases there's physical evidence, I don't have a problem with that and I don't think any sceptic would. My problem is with accepting one theory without analysing and comparing it with other theories, and even worse when people, once that theory is accepted, all other theories are considered wrong because there's already a supposed explanation.

This sort of case is rare, as entities are non-physical (and rarely manifest in a physical way.) There have been many cases, such as investigated by Ed and Lorraine Warren and others, where victims have been physically harmed by such beings. Also, many pictures, videos and audio recordings have been taken over the years by many researchers (and victims.) This is all that any researcher could possibly do. What else would you expect? This is the point to the OP; it seems that you have to see it for yourself in order to believe. All the evidence that is humanly possible to gather, and no matter how many witnesses see the same exact thing, no matter how credible they are, it is never enough to satisfy you.
As usual, I can only speak for myself, my problem is not with the things or events, I am more sceptical about the explanations than about the things or events themselves.
Is this truly a fair and honest approach to the truth? Asking for physical evidence of transparent, non-corporeal life forms is like asking for physical evidence of Pluto. All we have to go on are pictures and the word of those who have witnessed it through a telescope. How is this any different than pictures of ghosts, UFO's and other phenomena and the testimony of those who have witnessed these things?
I do want to know the truth, not just what someone tells me is the truth.
Honestly, is this about honesty, or is it about comfortable answers? I don't mean to sound negative here, but I am honestly wondering how many skeptics really want to know (or acknowledge) the truth.
