In the end it comes down to belief. I believe because I feel there's "evidence" in the Bible, from NASA, from films, from drawings throughout history, and because no one can prove that UFOs don't exist. Others disbelieve because the "evidence" is sketchy and one can interpret the "evidence" any way they wish, thus I may see "grays" someone may see shadows and unclear markings, I may read in the Bible, an interview, etc and interpret things one way, someone else may interpret another (go figure).

I can say that I believe why would the "aliens" want to make themselves known when we are still so gung ho to kill each other. Yet, that doesn't mean they aren't interested and not watching. Or perhaps, we are an off breed and a lab example, and much like we treat our experiments they watch us closely. Perhaps, they have made themselves known and the leaders are slowly integrating the idea into society.

If they just "appear" and say "we come in peace", they may get killed, our religious foundations would crumble, our oil based economy would die (not that that is a bad thing but it should happen naturally and be phased out), etc.

So in the end, much like religion and "GOD" one can only base one's belief by faith.

I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it. Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. You're just left with yourself all the time, whatever you do anyway. You've got to get down to your own God in your own temple. It's all down to you, mate. I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
