Actually I do think that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. I just don't think that "aliens" are visiting these crackpots here on Earth and abducting them. The whole thing is ludicrous. As for your "overwhelming evidence" in the form of thousands of people who have claimed to been abducted. Well, about 80% of humanity believes in a sky wizard who looks down on them from another realm and dictates the gears of their lives. UFO abductees are nothing more than a new religion. Again, if these people TRULY had contact with alien beings it would be the most important scientific discovery of the ages. Yet, there is zero proof. ZERO. Sorry, wizardry, sorcery and magic aren't going to cut it when we are talking about such important potential events.
I actually think that ufology is important, the US government and certain academicians have studied the phenomenon. I was a skeptical believer at first but when you truly examine the history of the phenomenon you see that the psycho-social hypothesis is probably the answer to what has been going on. Personally I think it's that along with a Cold War psychological warfare campaign.
Carl Sagan was a ufologist but he didn't believe the contactees and their nonsense.

Oh so you don't believe that U.F.O.'s are visiting and you don't believe in a sky wizard. Good for you. You dont' have any proof these things don't exist just as people don't have a lot in the way of solid proof as we know it to say it is in fact happening.

Clearly I have an understanding that you don't. As far as your accusation that I don't understand science..I laughed so hard my side started hurting. Again if you only knew me you would know how absolutely laughable that is. I don't think you understand science like you think bud.
I have offered a way for you to make me out a liar. Come test me with a polygraph and my sister and brother oh yea and my cousin. At least you would have solid proof if I were lying. And you would have 4(or more) chances! I mean surely if it were not true then one of us would fail the polygraph right ?
I really get a kick out of people like you. It's like dealing with a little kids way of thinking or something. Except your "mommy" is science and you can only allow yourself to believe "mommy and daddy" right? Why ? Because they said it they cant be wrong they are after all.. "mommy and daddy" and they said it so it's a fact.. pathetic dude. 200 years into a more modern world and we already think we know everything! Really?
Here let me help you out with a link to a polygraph examiner www.polygraphplace.com...

What this damage control?
Oh and contrary to your opinion on me I think I said plenty thank you very little!
Is that your final contribution to this thread or just a feeble attempt to insult? This forum is not a place to practice for a contest of whit, it's supposed to be an exchange of information.
Your post is in no way informative or even mildly entertaining really so that makes it a complete waste of time and space to say what?
If the mods are doing there job correctly they would remove your post if nothing else for being off topic.
Well done sir or ma'am w/e.....good day.
I edited this post to ask this question:
Why take a dig at my post(at least it seems that you were) when it seems you agree with me in some of your own posts? If I have mistook the tone of your post then that would be unfortunate, but this and many other reasons are why we have forum rules and must remain on topic for the good of the community as a whole. Otherwise Chaos follows.edit on 4/3/2013 by firegoggles because: edit to add a questionedit on 4/3/2013 by firegoggles because: (no reason given)

Project Camelot is a classic case of what happens when people who really, really want to believe meet head on with crazies and con men.
