So is that your confession that you dont have scientific proof of angles and demons and the great OZ!!

You apparently cant read an entire post or just have very short term memory so I'll say for you one more time.. I NEVER said that UFO's were 100% real I stated many times the level of evidence is overwhelming. If you would ever research something you may learn something someday. NIMROD

There has never been and never will be any scientific data/information to even hint that this is possible. the whole concept requires irrational thought. In this day and age that someone would believe the writings from the bronze age where people who made up these types of stories thought that the earth was flat and and was the center of the universe is just crazy.
Actually your reasoning is quite unscientific.
A priori excluding, even to you, irrational explanations is opposite to sound scientific practice.

As I have previously emphasised, all belief systems rely on the absence of incontestable proof.

Were truth to be incontestably established, any passionate rhetoric and/or dialectic would ipso facto be rendered superfluous.

As truth cannot be ascertained within belief systems, all belief systems render themselves self perpetuating due to both their protagonist's and antagonist's continual and often passionate reaffirmation of the unknowable.

However; Sentient life and/or existence would not be possible were it not for belief systems in themselves, as proposed by Immanuel Kant in his 'Critique of Pure Reason' wherein it is mooted that the a priori continuum of a particle from second to second is essential for survival of cognizance, often described by the ludicrously simplistic 'tree in a forest' analogy.

Wow you must have had to do a lot of acid to come up with that.

Your statement is is erroneous on a number of counts.

I was not forced or obliged to emit low pH number solutions from any orifice.

Nor would such emanations lead to thought provoking circumstances.

I would suggest you consult the 'world wide web' on the philosophical works of the aformentioned Mr. Kant.

I fail to see how you would back up this hypothesis with sound empirical data, given that the number of locations at which you would conduct research is one.

Therefore your statement is one of belief. See above.
