If you believe in the possibility of extraterrestrial life, then why could they not have visited this planet? I'm not a UFO nut, I don't necessarily believe abductions happen, but I'm not arrogant enough to state they categorically did not. They could have, is what I'm saying. And a lot of the stories abductees tell are remarkably similar. Didn't any of you watch
The X-Files?
Is it more stupid to believe in the possibility of life on other worlds (which then allows they may have visited ours) than to put your faith in a concept with no empirical evidence to back it up at all, to believe in a god? I'm not saying there's anything wrong with believing in God or a god, but it's just as much a leap of faith as allowing the chance that some --- probably not all, or even that many, but some --- of these abductees may in fact be recalling actual experiences. I don't know for sure they did, but by the same token you don't know for sure that they didn't, so you have to be open to the possibility.
