Stanton's wiggly reasons to justify his belief (because that's all it is) in extraterrestrials visiting Earth reach new levels. Yes Stanton, criminal courts don't always have physical proof. Well spotted. But there is one teensy flaw in your argument here. Criminal courts are dealing with flesh and blood human beings (dead or alive), whose physical existance is without doubt. ET believers have no such physical proof. None, whatsoever. Hence you analogy is useless. It doesn't matter what you believe, what the statistics of belief show. All that matters in the ET debate is hard, physical proof. And there ain't any. Happy Trails Andy 'You may have observed when you walk into a wall you get a certain sensation of reality.'
