Talion - I was watching this guy on TV recently who is a UFO investigator
These were basically his words; "Mankind's biggest fault is that we cannot just admit that we do not have the answers to some things, we give credit to all we do not understand to God. We are compelled to fill in the blanks when we see something we cannot explain. . . . that is the most frustrating part of investigating UFO sightings; most, if not all sightings have had attempts at explanation by people that simply do not have an answer."
We treat all things we do do not fully comprehend in much the same manner.

Kimere - the first thing I want to say is welcome to Blogit
Suggesting that someone is blind because they see other explanations could be considered insulting. The insulting part being that you feel you have a right to say such things. Let me give you my take on the individual who had a dream in Hindu even though it was not their native language: The story is bullshit as are all stories like it. There simply is no way to corroborate a story such as this. It falls under the category of urban legend and is at best anecdotal evidence. Those who insist on using such lame concoctions as some form of argument or contention have based their entire position on bullshit.....is that the opposite of being blind?

Maybe you see no mircles because you choose to be blind
What would you say to someone who had a dream in Hindu but does't speak the language?Think what you like ,but the strongest believers are born from the greatest doubters.

One of the greatest human qualities is the ability to ask, "why?" On the one hand, one of humanities worst faults is making up an answer without the proper knowledge. The infamous
the world is flat scenario is the best example of this line of thinking. Whether it's the paranormal or UFO sightings, many credible (and I stress the word
credible) people experience odd occurances. I don't doubt the fact they experienced
something. I doubt their (or others') explanation and/or interpretation of the events. Too often the things that go bump in the night have rational explanations. A few are so odd that we simply haven't figured out the cause yet. I sincerely believe that in time we can and will explain it all, just like we figured out the world is not flat. Of course that won't change the minds of those who wish to believe in the other worldly...
