Hi LesD,
There are those who assert the existence of aliens and those who assert that aliens are drivel (unadulterated).
From my own perspective, I cannot prove either viewpoint, nor do I commit to either viewpoint, purely because I do not know nor do I have any evidence to suggest that they do or don't exist.
Neither of these groups occupy any form of highground.(moral, scientific or evidential)
How can anyone make any of these assertions with out proof?
I do not doubt any of modern science, but, scientific knowledge is not the final word on everything. Science is after all about observable phenomena, and the inferrences drawn from those observations.
The main reason I made the post was to respond to Phil Plaits quote which you posted, to which I replied.
There has been an alien on the white house lawn numerous times in the last 50 years.
Given that the earth and all thats on it is a product of the universe, why should ET's spacecraft consist of anything different.
The first was an attempt at humour and the second an valid question.
You never made any mention of this in your opinion / fact reply.
