Don't you
dare bring Mac into this.
About Aliens and UFO's:
I firmly believe that there are aliens somewhere in this rapidly expanding universe. There's so much, well, space, being created every day, every
instant, that there is almost a definite chance of an intelligent lifeform being created on a different planet. I agree with Dazzag on this next part in saying that these odds go against us, and almost eliminate the possibility of UFO's. If they do exist, why in the world would they spend centuries just observing us, but making no attempt to contact us, except large areas of trampled crop? I saw a special on crop circles on some informative channel, and apparently there is a higher level of magnetism around the crop circles. Like, almost a definite line. But there could be another (extremely unlikely) theoretical conclusion. Perhaps these aliens interpret the flow of time differently, perhaps it appears slower to them. This is similar to the way two different people interpret the same situation. Maybe they interpret time like we interpret space, and can pass just as easily through time?
This theory applies to psychics, too. Maybe psychics can interpret happenings at a higher plane of existence then us "generic" humans can? Maybe they are a smidge more evolved than us?
About ghosts. I want to believe in them, but there is not enough scientific evidence to prove this so. All these "strange happenings" could just as well be caused by a group of pranksters, and unstable mind or an uncontrollable imagination. Maybe ghosts are real, but they aren't the ghosts of the dead? Maybe they are beings whose existence we cannot fully grasp?
I doubt bigfoot is real. If he is even partially related to human beings or apes, he is so far different than the other evolutions of apes that I don't believe that he is possible. Plus, with all the technology we have, we would've found him. If there was a small population, perhaps 20 to 30, I still doubt that they would exist because it would be difficult to find a partner to breed with, and predators could easily isolate one of them and kill it.
I think that exploring space is more important than exploring our oceans. Space is an indefinite amount of space, and it is nearly impossible to comprehend everything that could occur there. There are at least
some laws that underwater life on our planet would have to obey. Therefore, we should spread our range of knowledge farther by extending outwards and discovering things that are completely foreign to us, rather than stay where we are and research things that are similar to what we already to know.
