Are we alone in this universe?Who knows?But it would be arrorgant for us to think we are.There are way to many galaxies out there.There has to be another planet that can sustain life.I am not saying they have arrived.I believe most if not all UFO pictures are hoaxes.Now as for the paranormal,it would be cocky to say that just cause we have 5 senses we know it all.We don’t know jack.There is so much more to be learned.Well you’ve heard my ramblings now debate about it.
Well, we may only have five senses, but we have instruments that can pick up on other signals. But that’s all I can take issue with from your post.
Three other things:[ol]
[li] Your prose would be a lot easier to read if you put spaces between your periods and the first letter of the next sentence. Consider it a friendly suggestion from someone who’s interested in what you have to say.[/li][li] You might want to work on having your thread titles be a little bit more descriptive of what you want to say. There’s a good debate in here, but I think most people will skip out on it because the thread title doesn’t really say what you’re talking about.[/li] Welcome to the boards![/ol]
We have been directed to “debate” – but what would you like us to debate? You really haven’t said much of any substance. If you’d care to expand, perhaps somebody will take you up on it.
I wanted you to debate the existance of ET life and existance of the paranormal
Woah that’s two big debates for the price of one! Sorry but we’re not having a sale today.
As for the ET life debate, we just did that two weeks ago:

Man I should have registerd sooner.
Well that thread is not very old; if you have something worthwile to contribute, go ahead and jump in!
I believe that there is intelligent life somewhere in the universe. I believe this without proof.
I also believe there is no such thing as paranormal activity. I believe this through lack of proof.
I suppose you could say these two beliefs are somewhat contradictory, logically. I base it on the fact that we have no conclusive proof that there are ghosts right here on Earth when we live right here on Earth. The moment we’ve explored even .0000000000000001% of the universe and haven’t found anything, I’ll accept that there’s no intelligent life out there to be found.

I’m locking this thread because Xan started a new one with essentially the same OP, but more meaningful responses (no offense to anybody who has responded here).
I will scold him there as well, but let me take this opportunity to say: Don’t do that! There was already a thread here for it. You don’t just restart a thread because you want to make a few changes!
