    No, it means “I am going to dismiss any and all evidence until such a time as it satisfies my definition of believable.”

        I’m glad we agree, because the problem is that it’s hypocritical. There is a double standard for the quality of evidence that you deem acceptable between this topic and most others. You believe many things despite never seeing physical evidence or based only on the testimony of others, because those topics fit into your current world view. You have subconsciously created a filter for yourself of your biases, and you now refuse to acknowledge them.

          That’s not at all what’s happening.

          What’s the evidence of the aliens?

              That’s not evidence. That’s a claim. They are claiming they saw an alien, what’s the evidence of that?
