You seem to think I believe what I do because I want to or because I choose to. Nothing is further from the truth. The fact is I
want to believe there is ETI and for the longest time, I did believe that there must be ETI.
It is a common misconception since at least 99.999% of the people on this planet cannot divide fact from suposition.

Belief ought not be a choice.
This is a common expression that makes no sense to me: "well, you can believe what you want to."
I got into a huge debate with my Nigerian neighbor about a number of consparacy theories. After a long session debunking his ideas he threw that at me: "well, you can believe what you want to."
I replied, "no, if you can show me evidence contrary to what I believe then it is my
obligation to believe that you are right.
So, show me evidence contrary to what I believe then it is my
obligation to believe that you are right, Lance.
