[QUOTE="GregH, post: 3426381, member: 28231"] Well, actually, no it doesn't go against my position. My position is that if we go to the stars, I really don't see any way that we would engage in the activities that these aliens that are supposedly here now are being accused of. So if I can't see why we would do it, then how can I possibly see why they would do it. Now, maybe I'm wrong. But I don't see it happening. And I am, for the record, among those who think we should go to the stars. But I can't in any way see myself oking the use of covert ops to do medical experiments on a sentient population. Exactly. I agree with you 100%. I want evidence. That's why I don't buy the [b]whole[/b] UFO sctick. There is absolutely no evidence to not only support their existence, but their motivations. And I believe I have said that it is possible. But I make a very clear distinction between what is "possible" and what is "probable". Is it possible that there are aliens hidinging amongst us, kidnapping humans, and performing unwanted colonoscopies? Sure, its "possible". Is it probable? Not even remotely. The laws of physics (as we understand them) make it improbable. Hell, they almost make it impossible, if you don't want to spend 100 generations on a ship bound for another solar system. Our lack of ability as a thinking, intelligent species to come up with a reasonable motive makes it improbable, in my opinion. Too many people stop at "possible" and then continue on to "it must be true". They don't go on to "probable". This is why I haven't really argued your points. Everything you say is definitely possible. IMHO, very little of it is probable. And I think a lot of the physics backs me up. By-the-by, I do actually consider myself one of those "honest scientists" - I have a Master's in near-Earth Space Physics. I'm not actually asking to believe. But I am being repeated asked through our modern media [b]to believe[/b] by the UFO-ology community. Which is why I don't think the aliens are there. Everyone is saying "believe" but no one is showing evidence to allow me to [b]conclude[/b] that they exist. Greg [/QUOTE]
