So you say thousands of people have said they have seen UFOs? Is that proof enough?

There have been millions of Christians who say they have had a life changing experience with God, but that isn't enough to convince Atheist that God is real nor should it be the only factor. Consensus doesn't create truth, most truths are true no matter how many people believe them. For example. Most people at one time thought the earth was flat, but now most people know it is round. Even when people thought it was flat it was still round.
It took someone saying maybe everyone else is wrong before thoughtful investigation was able to begin.
But often we do have to find out what other people think because they may have a valid point. But when you do this you must look at the situation surrounding the opinion.
When people see aliens they are usually in isolated groups or by themselves. When a witness stands alone he could easily be lying, drunk, way to sleepy, any number of things could cloud a small groups opinion. Later when those people tell others of what happened others have their perception colored so the next time they see a pretty light in the sky they say I just saw what Leroy was telling us about.
The in at least some of the post resurrection appearances of Christ thousands of people saw him, while some of them could
have been drunk, crazy, way to sleepy, wishful thinking, hypnotized... the chances of them all being that way are pretty much nil. The people with straight heads could have easily strengthened out the people who were wrong.
When someone claims to see a UFO they might lose a few friends but they gain allot of friends from the I've seen or want to see a UFO crowd, so they experience no big loss.
The people who saw Christ risked their very lives every time they told someone who Christ was. It was a crime punishable by death to worship someone more than you worshiped the Roman emperor. When you are risking your life on a statement you are going to be allot more careful about the truthfulness of the statement you are saying, because no one wants to die a horrible death based on a lie.
Scientist do want to find evidence of life on another planet, it would make their career, yet as hard as they try the closest they have came was a rock that had been on earth longer than mankind itself that used to have something growing on it. It could have easily been contaminated. The more scientist look into space the less likely it is that they will ever find any living matter in it. But I believe they have pretty much proven that if life exist out their it is so far away we never have to worry about it traveling here.
Christianity on the other hand most scientist avoid like the plague. The minute a scientist announces having anything to do with religion beyond a passing fancy his identity as a scientist is taken away from him, This has even happened to Nobel prize winning scientist. One day he is considered a genius the next day the same people call him a religious nut case. Scientific peer reviewed papers refuse to publish the Intelligent Design (notice I did not say creationism they are different even though the media says they are the same) papers because the few editors that have dared to were fired.
Your theory has been tested and no proof has been found to back up your claims even though scientist WANT to find proof.
Mine on the other hand has been thrown out not because of proof, but because of off hand rejection.

who said hundreds of people saw Jesus return? That is not why Christians say that... well, unless they are ignorant Christians. The bible was only a book about jesus's life and his teachings...well the new testament is. There's lots of stuff the bible didn't mention, that doesn't mean they weren't there. This coming from an agnostic haha.

A lot of UFO sightings have been proven false... and then again some have not been.... God is quite capable to create a hundred planets with a zillion life forms if he choses... so aliens ceritanly aren't out of the spectrum of posibilites. But Jesus died specifically for humans who were made in the likeness of God. God Bless

i think the bible says that Jesus only appeared twice after he went to the cross. ufo's have been sighted off and on for decades by the truthful and by the untruthful.
most people, non-christians and christians do not believe in ufo's; the government has trained us to not believe in them through the news media. some christians do believe in ufo's, and that dinosours existed. the bible only was meant to cover a window of time, and even then, had specific purposes.

Nope. Wat's written in the bible is true. Ask u a question: How do u know things that people saw are UFO sightings? A picture can be edited to look "real". u know there are people who like to exagerate things to sell stories. wat do u mean by people saw jesus return? According to the bible, Jesus will return to the world when the world is in the worst chaos. Now the world is still fine...

I am a Muslim and we also believe that Jesus son of Mary (peace be upon them) will return at End of Times to kill Anti Christ.
This is proved as Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) has said so in an authentic saying record.
Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) also gave the physcial discription of Jesus Son of Mary(peace be upon him).
He will have redish skin colour.He will have a very bright and glorious face which nobody can copy.He will desend on either Masjid Aqsa,Jerusalem or Main Masjid of Damascas,Syria(I DONT REMEMBER WHICH OF THEM IS THE ONE BUT I AM SURE ITS ONE OF THEM) .

Only hundreds? Shucks! Thousands gazed upon his likeness in a San Diego pizza. Or was that his Mom amongst the pepperoni?

Thousands have witnessed the feats of illusionists like David Copperfield, and Houdini. That doesn't mean what they did was true. People can be deceived quite easily. Especially when they're in crowds.
