Original intent
Question, did the picture of the Wright brothers first flight, 'prove' that they could fly?
Moreover, can 'we', as present day scientists, take this single still photograph as actual evidence that Orville did indeed take mankind into the sky on December 17th 1903?
'I' say, Yes... BUT you skeptics should or would probably say that the photo could have been faked...
And herein lies the catch to 'proving' anything. I take any evidence of anything with a grain of salt. Was there enough evidence to tell me that OJ was guilty, I think so, but the jury was convienced by the defense that some of the evidence 'could' have been tampered with and or planted. So proof beyond a reasonable doubt of his guilt was absent, in the jury's mind. However, one should NOT confuse not guilty with innocence...
Now, let us examine what 'proof' there is that we have been visited and or probed by E.T. Well, none that places the 'proof' beyond a reasonable doubt. But what I have found more often than not, is that IF a photo or a piece of video footage COULD be faked, then it is dismissed outright. And that is a notion I disagree with. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt of E.T. existance and visitation will likely be non-existant until one appears on the White House lawn during a rose garden press conference televised live. (then again if THAT happens, said E.T.'s will be taken under arrest and placed in quarantine)
My original notion, that there must be 'some' truth behind all these myths spawns from that whole finding Troy thing, and the similarities between the tale of Noah and the Epic of Gilgmesh.
Personally, I have seen and even collected evidence that 'heavenly' entities DO indeed exist, in some form or another. Now, I am NOT suggesting that such evidence is rock solid or 'proof beyond a reasonable doubt', of such a claim. What I AM saying is that I have seen a LOT of evidence all pointing to the same possiblity, that we HAVE indeed been visited, studied and or experimented on, by E.T.'s.
Moreover, I find that the atheists may very well be correct in their assumption that there is no God...but rather god(s) {*lower case}, and that the believers are too incorrect in identfying these 'more-than human' thing(s) as capital letter- "God". I think the metaphysical folks/believers define their "God" as the omni-present, omni-potent being who can do it all. And THAT is where they are wrong. Whereas the atheists are wrong in their dismissing out of hand the very notion that there isn't 'something' god-like flying about the heavens and or poking and proding humans.
I would like to thank all you number crunchers for your insight into intersteller flight dimensions and demands, I found it most interesting.
