Your entitled to your opinion of course, but if you have no interest in this thread other than to 'enlighten' us on what you think is correct, why are you still here? this doesnt need to turn into another debate.... You and MissPestilence could have a great disscussion about this, just dont derail the thread, because some of us are enjoying it.

The late astronomer Carl Sagan had a wonderful formula for measuring the truthfulness of any belief. Extraordinary claims, he said, demand extraordinary evidence.
The fact that so many are willing to believe so many impossible things with so little evidence is not comforting.

What I can't understand is...why do people choose to believe the extraordinary rather than believe the easiest answer is the most likely....delusions...etc.

Sceptics are just another word for lazy people that can't be bothered to research but instead think they are accomplishing something by arguing with people on the internet.
If you get tired of people that always ask for everything to be spoon fed to them there is one sure fire way to take the wind out of their sails. Ignore them. They aren't contributing so what is the point in engaging them? All they are doing is trying to reinforce their own closed paradigm so they can continue to feel secure.
If you are smart enough to type and respond on an internet forum then you are smart enough to decide if you wish to believe, disbelieve, or hold something as possible. Anyone that comes in with a "give me proof" line is insulting everyone and making themselves look like a fool.
The sad part is that they don't even realize it because they have convinced themselves they are doing something of substance by repeating themselves over and over on any thread that doesn't fit into their accepted paradigm. They run the program without ever examining it.
