I think the point is missed here Andrew. We both DON'T know that ET's exist, (UFO's
exist absolutely) we do both know that China exists, thus there is a conflict and this
argument does not hold water.
What evidence is there that UFO's (and I mean any of them) are physical craft, being
flown/driven by material "alien" beings from somewhere other than Earth?
My contention is that there is nothing but stories told by witnesses or abductees. If
one were to believe them, what evidence is there that these beings did not reveal
lies, or deliberately conceal the truth of their identity?
Again I believe there is no evidence to support this view.
The "fact" of intelligent life elsewhere is NOT proven, there is NO evidence for it at
all (my opinion but backed with hard science). That intelligent ET's are visiting
Earth for ANY reason is a BELIEF, and as such is unassailable since no argument I put
forth to refute it will stand up to your innate belief in it.
Mind you, having said all that I am NOT saying FOR CERTAIN that there is no
intelligent life elsewhere, OR that that life is NOT coming here, or that NO UFO's
could ever be real alien craft from elsewhere (to say that would imply that I have
access to all data and near omniscience, which I don't). The odds are sorely stacked
against it, in my book, but it is not an impossibility. I prefer more prosaic
explanations before jumping to a less likely solution.
We may have to agree to disagree on this issue.
