Allow me to paraphrase a new-testament quote: You, Jose Colaco, believe because you have been there and seen; blessed are those that have not seen, yet believe. For the rest, it is a myth or individual imagination. (Try explaining that you have flown in an aeroplane to one who has never heard of, or even seen a plane - crackers, he will think - how can one fly or sit in a box that can fly? Example: see Planet of Apes)
