Some may well live under the water but don't discount the fact that some are from other worlds and possibly even other galaxy's. All the above is possible to just say they are from so and so is not right because there are soo many possibility's that we shouldn't discount.

How come I never see a poll that says "Do you know that Aliens are visiting the Planet?" I just find it interesting we usually operate from a position of disbelief.

Its perfectly reasonable...the wording.

People may assume they
know we are being visited by aliens...

When In FACT it is simply their belief.

Subtle but very important distinction.
Hence the poll is worded correctly.

Exactly.

(Hey, I just saw the ghost of Shirley MacLaine!! I swear!)

Thus the murky quagmire the entire "truth" movement finds itself in, eh? From 9-11 to the secret takeover of our government by nude gray aliens driven by probe lust, most theories are driven by nothing other than "feelings" and "beliefs."

Most Ufologists and Fortean peddlars of our era have more in common with priests and witches than they would like to admit . . . . .

That's a circular argument. I mean, you assume that they assume... Then the next person can say that you assume that they assumed that the other assumed etc. etc.

In the end, different people have different standards when it comes to how they choose what to believe. Some may believe on the basis of evidence while others might take hearsay as gospel.

Consider that the Bible is all hearsay... And there are "believers" and "non-believers". I say: prove it, then I'll believe you.

Yet some people may believe on the basis of personal experience and not hearsay. Do we believe them, or do we mistrust all?

In the end it comes down to personal judgment - and everyone has their own ability to exercise that.

Taking all that in, I'd say a "do you *know* that aliens are currently visiting our planet" would be valid as a separate thread, since "knowing" is different from "believing".

what you think this is?

Haha.

If you have a kid, why would you go see it? Right? I mean, you made it. You obviously already know everything about it.

I would have thought about that question for 0.5 seconds longer.

I think one day the truth ( when our world is ready) will be revealed to us. The global attitude to the question : are we alone? Is slowly seeping throughout us all. think bout it 20yrs ago if an E.T walked in to your room you would most probably go for your gun or nearest heavy object and do something stupid. Today I would like to think 70-80% of us would do completely the opposite. I'm not saying that we should be denied our right to know the truth, I just think we are far too primitive as a global conciseness too deal with the enormity of the answer to the question: are we alone? of course not. We are not that special!!!!!

The images are, in my opinion, some of the finest evidence to date. These images were captured with a digital camera in David's bedroom. The entities have been determined to be non-human...though, we are convinced that human and possibly animal spirits are an important part of this case. That evidence will be presented in the context of our investigation.
