Perhaps they aren't reading the right books or watching the right documentaries. There's a lot on the subject. History Channel runs a series called Ancient Aliens. Though some of the theories presented are far fetched, it's still interesting to watch. You see, I like to keep an open mind on the subject. You obviously don't, and that's your prerogative. But I'm no more nuts than you I can assure you that. Besides, I never said we have been visited by ufo's, or aliens. I only said that assuming we are the only intelligent life in the universe is both ignorant and arrogant. You assumed I was referring to visitations for some reason. That subject is debatable, and depends on who you talk to. Just like religion.

Zero data? I know of a few scientists who would beg to differ.

As you can imagine the ytufo nuts think its real, even tho the photo among other things was tracked down in minutes after it was released. Thats what you get when you base your reality on a belief system and not fact.


I'm pretty sure it's a fact that we are not the only intelligent life in the universe. If you think otherwise you are both ignorant and arrogant.

Actually, the chance of alien "life" in the universe, having, currently, or yet to exist is high. But that doesn't mean intelligent life, as we simply have no data on how likely it is that intelligent life would arise. But one thing is certain, we have zero data to indicate any life has contacted us.

Hey there --

I noticed that you voted for the trailer for 10 MPH (about a Segway roadtrip across America) a while ago...

Well, the filmmakers have posted the ENTIRE FILM online and I just submitted it to the Sift. Enjoy!
