By the way you don't seem that skeptical, have you ever considered going by "Ed" instead of "Skeptical Ed?"
But I give you credit for
recognizing the value of what spacecase7717 posted, that says good things about you.

Well, I am a natural skeptic in that I don't have a belief system. I'm at a point in life that I either know or I don't know but I've never
believed especially from the '60s on when I became a hypnotist which led me to study the mind and what causes belief systems.
I have registered on ATS under another name and every day I think "I won't post or reply on ATS as Skeptical Ed any more." But then I see someone
making a comment to my comment or thread and I have to reply as SE. Perhaps I'll drop it tonight!
Using Skeptical Ed people automatically assume I'm a close-minded person. I am in a way when it comes to accepting other than humans in creation and
aliens interacting with humans. But it's only because of the lack of evidence acceptable to me. I have high standards and it's got to be
irrefutable evidence. Hearsay just won't do it. That's my skeptical side. I've had 6 solid UFO sightings so no one can accuse me of being
a UFO skeptic.
