disbelieve the possibility of something that cannot be explained.
But, if something has been/can be explained, why do you think this is a bad thing?
By the way - "Debunker" = "Critical thinker".

As an aside do you believe in the existence of an advanced race not from Earth or that we are genuinely the only "intelligent" species in the entire Universe?
I don't know. But if there were aliens observing us and they wanted to be unseen, we wouldn't see them. And they might still be puzzled by what we THINK we're seeing, which isn't them.
This is what I mean about debunkers. You make opposing statements in the same sentence. You start out admitting you don't know yet conclude with an absolute statement by assuming you understand how they think.
Seriously, I doubt -- with all the garble, noise, and carelessness which is tolerated [even encouraged] in this field -- if there were cles to any visits, we could filter them out from the background static. Which is unfortunate because there's no reason 'they' could not exist and even be here.
It's irrelevant if there is carelessness in any field of research. That's the nature of man. Therefore you cannot discount the possibility of something because of carelessness, chaos theory, or whatever label you want to prescribe. And yet once again you contradict yourself by saying we could "filter them out" even though you state earlier if they (aliens) "wanted to remain unseen, we wouldn't see them".
That's multiple contradictions in your statements yet you want...no expect me to take your research as the final word? Not gonna' happen mate. Not until you adjust and correct your logic in how you approach your research.
My point in asking you the question if you believe in the existence of an advanced race not from Earth is to know if you are or have conditioned yourself to always disbelieve the possibility of something that cannot be explained. It's like an altered version of pareidolia.
I really worry that either my ability to express myself clearly, or your ability to properly parse compound and conditional sentences, is slipping.
If the latter is the case, then why haven't we (the human race) scooped it up and studied it yet ?
