Alvin Plantinga defines "Fideism" as "the exclusive or basic reliance upon faith alone, accompanied by a consequent disparagement of reason and utilized especially in the pursuit of philosophical or religious truth." The Fideist therefore "urges reliance on faith rather than reason, in matters philosophical and religious," and therefore may go on to disparage the claims of reason.The Fideist seeks truth, above all: and affirms that reason cannot achieve certain kinds of truth, which must instead be accepted only by faith. Plantinga's definition might be revised to say that what the fideist objects to is not so much "reason" per se — it seems excessive to call Blaise Pascal anti-rational — but evidentialism: the notion that no belief should be held unless it is supported by evidence.
The unexpected result of a mundane fission reaction caused jaws to drop in the particle physics laboratory. Amazed scientists recorded what was expected to be a normal fission of mercury-180. When the experiment was complete the scientists discovered that instead of the expected symmetric reaction - two equal fragments of atomic nuclei - an asymmetrical reaction occurred that turns accepted theory on its proverbial head.
The physics of nuclear fission has been known for many decades. It entails the splitting of a heavy nucleus into two nuclei with less weight and mass. Each time a heavy nucleus is split it should produce two equal nuclei...at least that's the theory. And the theory seemed to work fine, until the experiment at CERN revealed there was something terribly flawed about that assumption.

This is very interesting and since i see no evidence disproving your story i will digest this information. i myself have never had a encounter with a grey and don't think i want too especially after what you have explained. What did this being look like? Star and flag by the way thanks for sharing.

Why are you even on here then? How do you know Greys don't exist? Prove it!

That's the problem of many here. How about:
That's how it works. If there is no evidence, it remains UNKNOWN. No conclusions can be made it exists, no conclusions can be made to does not.
Afterall in order to start talking about them, someone may have experienced something. Not that adbuctions are any credible proof of aliens or contacts with them even less, but one can't say absolutely NO like that and expect to be taken seriously.
There is no physical evidence they exist. So they don't exist.

Because there is no evidence. Period.

You said for yourself that you never saw a gray but "felt their presence". It cannot get any less specific than that.
By the way, "Sirians" dont exist either since Sirius is a star, not a planet. Pleiadeans don't exist either since the Pleiades consist of several hundreds of Stars.
Whoever came up with the fable of "sirians" or "pleiadeans" just shows a terrifiying lack of simple, basic astronomic knowledge.

And about the greys and fear: maybe you're thinking of paranormal acitivities? Maybe more so evil spirits on entities? I don't necessarily believe that aliens are around to do harm to us, or scare us, I just think they are like us on their own planet living life. I do believe some people have been abducted but not in a 'spiteful' kind of way. Just for research and to cure their on curiosity.

If there's no evidence it doesn't exist? What about before someone invented electricity- never would we have thought it was possible but it was/is. Very close minded to believe unless there is proof of something it's non-existent. Try broadening your horizons my friend
