Actually the question about believing in something is
irrelevant because believing wont help us to get access to the truth. It would be like going to the NSA office and say
hey I believe in US government secrets, can you let me inside now? or
I believe in UFOs can you guys give me access to the Area 51 top secrets? because belief will not prove anything and it will not help you 1% more to understand something that is classified information.
How can you believe in something that you have never seen? And if you have seen it will you still believe or not believe? Its
not a question about believing but rather getting sources. And when the sources are locked out and is not
public accessible then nobody can prove it even if there are one or more sources that seriously state that
I was at the Area 51 hangar and did see what they had there then there is still not a question about believing but rather
confirming the sources, that someone can
confirm the source and that the source
is telling the truth. And who can confirm that? Well that will be confirmed the day the information is no longer classified or that something happens that gives us a confirmation.
There are even people that thinks that the global melt down of the poles is conspiracy and that the 9/11 was a inside job performed by the US government. That is all we got, conspiracies and nothing more. The source that many of rely on is the government and the media (and of course our trusted scientists that works for the government) , but who do you think controls the government and the media? Nobody..not one single one, because there is no more powerful sources on this earth that can confirm or dis confirm the truth. So it all means also that these sources that we rely so much on can manipulate their info, the
truth that we all hunt for and want to find out.
I don't believe in 2012, but in the same time I believe in 2012 because my voice don't have a value. Why vote for something that we cannot confirm? 2012 confirms itself at 21st December 2012, the confirmation may be a hell of a sight or just a normal day like any day (time will tell..).
In the same time we could make a vote like
do you believe in death? and everyone would voted
yes because we all know that we going to die someday. In year 3050 everyone would voted
no because at that year the humanity have made a miraculous medicine that makes the human live forever.
Things we don't know will stay unknown until the day it happens ourselves. And if this happens only you then you will have a huge problem to explain it or even tell someone about it if you where taken to the rear side of the Moon by some aliens where they did examine you to find out some more about the human anatomy. Likely everyone will laugh about it and your story because they where not there, they where not your eyes and they could not see it and confirm what did happen to you...
IF we one day wake up one morning and see some huge flying alien ships (like in the ID4 movie) I can assure you that the government would have one *** of a day to cover it from us. Likely they would go on air and say that the Russian did bomb the US with a biological weapon which made us all hallucinate...and the media would give us the same news.
Remember that once back in the history the humans believed that the Earth was flat...
They believed it until someone confirmed that it was round...can you imagine that?
I think that the guy who proved it was hunting for the sources rather than stick to the question about believing.
But that was back then, today in our world where we are bombarded with information and it can be really difficult to prove something to be
true or
false. So we thrust the sources that we always have trusted, the government, the media, the scientists and the books with printed history, but that doesn't mean that we are exposed to the truth..because we don't know all about all kinds of stuff around us. We only know what we know now...today!
But like I said, not all facts are public, many of them are classified material.
Therefore conspiracy and ufos and all this unexplainable stuff will exist for a loooong time..even after my death. It's naturally because we cannot explain everything in space where 1 light year is 9.4605284 × 10^15 kilometers (or to be more precise exactly 9,460,730,472,580.8 km).
Our Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across, do you think that the US Government got technology to monitor such a huge space down to 1 millimetres.
Just the Milky Way galaxy contains 200 to 400 billion stars...imagine that?
I would rather hunt after sources that confirms what is going on instead of asking myself or others IF you belive..because that designs a group A and a group B that will fight each other trying to prove who is telling the truth and who is not (typical for discussion boards like this one).
