Open-mindedness

Example:
A, B, C, D, etc are all contradictory. D is true. Since D is not compatible with any others, there's a lot of fallacy. Simple.

I will reconsider anything, if faced with a reasonable argument. It's arrogant to declare the only truth, if one also claims to have created it. I don't pride myself in my beliefs. That irrational Truth is true on its own terms. It's simply my endeavor to distinguish between it and fallacy. That's the point I was making.

Great film!

Many UFO's actually have been identified. None of them thus far have been from outer space but some of them have been baloons used to measure weather. Of course there is never a shortage of people willing to claim Aliens.

@Gilbavel
The problem is that the evidence of UFOs that appears to be good at first has not passed the tests that scientific theories have had to pass. If you actually look at them with a critical mind (as scientific ideas not only are forced to do but actually desire for the sake of being proven) then you would begin to see the error in some of the conclusions. I would suggest if you have a convincing piece of evidence you present it to a group of skeptics. That is also the path of science.

I haven't done MY homework?

Heh. Funny.

Watch the video again.

It's good to keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out.

Bullshit.
You haven't done your homework and you probably won't.
I agree with the video, and like it a lot. Just because you ain't seen no UFOs doesn't mean there ain't no UFOs.
You ever seen Australia? It's there. An absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. When you spend the time required and look at the GOOD evidence, you will find it. Just like the video shows, if you close your mind to new ideas, you will never be open enough to accept them.

This video was great. Really liked it!

I very much enjoyed watching this. Enlightening.

Sorry, one last thing and I apologize for three posts on the same subject...
When I said "true UFOs", what I meant to imply were things that could not be identified. Hence the name "unidentified flying object".
Not to imply that a "true UFO" in my terminology would of necessity be an alien life form in a space craft with an anal probe.

Hope that clarifies.

BTW: A polygraph test doesn't prove anything with regard to UFOs. There are a lot of people who THINK they saw a UFO when they REALLY saw Venus. They'd pass a lie detector test every time.

Polygraph test only is useful when someone is trying to hide information - and then not very useful at that. That's why their results are inadmissible in the courts.
