Is it just me or was whoever invented faith the most brilliant person alive? (Maybe a slight exaggeration.) I mean, honestly, if I could get people to believe in what I was telling them based solely on this thing we call "faith", I would be set for life. Because what is the definition of faith? "Belief without question" is the best definition I can find for it. If a business could get people to buy their product "without question" I think it would be a very successful business. Faith, I think, is what gets people into trouble when it comes to organized religion. You convince people that what you are telling them is the truth, and then convince them NEVER to question it, and you've got members of your religion for life! And if they ever do ask questions, you say one of two things: you either say, "Where's your faith?" or you say the universal answer to every unanswerable question "God works in mysterious ways." Does anybody else think that having faith could be the biggest mistake a human could make? After all, look at all the people who have faith in their different religions. They can't ALL be right, can they?

I never say IT is . because its not faith im looking for but science . this is called a theory the theory that alian excist the theory that gost excist .Now as a scientest Im trying to eather find proff or see someone else find proff that I can see is proff.
then Ill say Theres alians amoung us. Not even I belive because now I have proff.
pss right now we have lots of evedence saying there is life on mars look up the FACTS you will see . BUt we YET have found even one bactiera .

You believe in ETs, creatures from the skies, paranormals. And for some reason you don't believe there is a creator that made all of this possible?
