I know what you mean, I guess that's where the personal BS filter comes in, some people have it set to high, some too low, and some threw it out I don't see it as a problem, i like to entertain ideas that are not based in solid fact.

The flaw in that kind of thinking is what allows ignorance and gullibility to flourish, on ATS and in general.
It also allows believers to just dismiss anything that doesn't conform to their dogma. Handy , no?
I know many of you don't see it, but it's there!
Again, anything may be possible, but not everything is likely.

OK Aliens make crop circles.
They come from unimaginable distances with technology beyond our comprehension to scribble in British fields, hide from us, flit around the planet all for no apparant reason. But I'm sure it's just because I'm so closed minded that I can't see how that makes sense.
Good thinking.
I guess I don't do enough web surfing, er. uh research.

No amount of words will stop the believers, they've been told things that are ridiculous and have no actual evidence, like there being radioactive residue on crop circles, etc.
But these theories go into why people believe what they do, and if you're not going to bother to discuss it, then why should anyone engage with you?

There is no proof all crop circles are hoaxed. Hoaxes (and it only took a couple) became a problem around 1989, coincidentally about the time crop circles were being ‘noticed’. Hmm. I’m sure the alphabet agencies wouldn’t promote a few hoaxes to discredit ALL crop circles now, would they.
