Aliens (Etraterrestrials) Exist

>>They would need first to have the correct technology to pick up such signals.<< So you accept there is no known technology, so how would you know they exist? >>absence of evidence is not evidence of absence<< It is when it comes to making a claim something exists, the burden of proof is on you to show something exists not me to prove something does not exist. It's like me saying prove to me I didn't fly to the moon by flapping my wings or that an invisible teapot isn't flying around the universe. You hold it by blind faith that something exists based on no evidence and you are welcome to believe that but in a rational discussion we don't base things on blind faith (something believed without evidence) >> How do you know there are not other types of transmissions<< Again how do you know there are? The burden of proof is on you to show that there are and if your statement is true that we don't have the technology then there is no possible way for you to propose there is. >>how do you know they do not have telepathic abilities?<< How do you know they do? You should really consider your argument here as it seems you are requiring me the burden of proof on the non existence of something, namely aliens. The rest of your assertions on this type of reasoning I will skip otherwise I will be repeating myself. >> Lt. Col. Charles Halt of the US Air Force witnesses a UFO landing in 1980<< Would you like me to post many credible documents regarding soldiers in combat suffering from delusions and combat mental diseases? I think this is a good point that you cant take a small group of people, especially those that have faced combat and claim they are in their right mind. Also there is ample work of doctors about delusions, for instance every single "sighting" is never the same, this is what is commonly known in the medical field as a hallucination. >>They took pictures<< I am going to provide some pictures from people who claim to have seen aliens in my second to last rebuttal, I want you to tell me what they are, or if you think they are aliens. I will post things by some of the people you have mentioned. >>And if they are lying, why would they lie?<< I am not saying they are lying but delusional or hallucinating. However I can think of several reasons why one would and could lie. A washed up airforce pilot or military personal trying to make some money or get some fame. >>Your average, level-headed person doesn't wake up one morning and decide "oh, I think I'll be abducted by aliens today."<< As I said I believe in the spiritual realm and demons, could it be possible these types of incidents if they are true are simply demonic manifestations, considering in the days of Jesus Christ there were many people demon possessed yet in the western world we see none of that, other than this type of thing. All I need from you here is that it is possible if it were really true? >>when discussing the Belgian UFO Air Wave.<< You said just before we don't have the technology to read these types of signals, you cant have it both ways. >>t was in the Belgian UFO Air Wave, what it was that Sgt Jim Penniston of the USAF examined on the ground with a millitary crew in 1980, and what it was that was caught "on film" disabling a missle, and which also shut down ten nuclear missles at a test launch in Vandenberg Air Force Base.<< I will await credible sources, funny you never footnote anything. >>So US millitary officers, British Air Force personnel, Belgian Air Force, and so on, are not "credible sources"?<< Do you believe the bible when it says that all men are liars? I am after credible evidence and a good point made on the video was only one ever such person was put on the lie detector machine and I google his name he was not what we are discussing as credible. >> Is he really saying our current technology can detect demons? Did demons leave radiaton traces? Aliens fit that bill; demons don't.<< I am saying that science cant prove demons, no you are right. However I hold it by faith based on what the bible says about demons and the spiritual world. >>Animals didn't come from Eve, yet they have spirit [Heb ruach] (Ecc 3:21)<< I take it you don't know Hebrew. The word "life" in its context is in relation to beings. We know it cant mean animals as it specifically ALL LIFE and as you pointed out, animals didn't come from Eve. I suggest a quick course in Hebrew as you fail to grasp the argument. I will tackle it theologically in another direction and wait fro you to respond to whether you have an understanding of Hebrew and Hermeneutics. Are you saying that Jesus died on everyone of these different planets and can be born again. Or are you saying that He didn't and all other life forms are going to hell? Jesus said unless yea be born again you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The only other place to go is Hell, there is no alternative, so where if they exist do these aliens go are they eternal, philosophically impossible as only one being can be eternal otherwise you would have infinite plus infinite etc etc. Do you believe the bible when it says that everything in the heavens was made for Christ by Christ? Do you believe Apostle Paul when he says ALL have sinned? Do you believe the bible that ALL who have sinned deserved eternal hell? Do you have a God that sentences people to hell with no just propitiation? (If you do you have different God to the bible) Finally some theology mixed with philosophy, do you believe that the bible is absolute truth? That it would be right in ALL places at ALL times? I am keen on the readers to include the theological part of the argument as we are both bible believing Christians and will try and make the theological argument as simple as possible for unbelievers. I think when it comes to evidence the opponent has provided no tangible evidence that can be tested and observed, nor any scientific or credible sites. Blog's and YouTube videos don't count in the scholarly world. When one comes to the scholarly world and debates regardless whether atheist or theist, evidence must be provided from recognised sources such as peer reviewed journals or scientific papers, this is the job of the scholar of knowledge. So I await these peer reviewed and tested articles for my opponents next rebuttal
