I was raised catholic but, I started to doupt my faith after beginning to study Cultural anthropology. as a child a spend allot of time reading books about ghost aliens and demons. the people who wrote those books seem to be qualified enough to write about them but they never presented solid evidence that they really happened. never the less, I know memory can be faulty but lets say a 100 people saw someone commit a at the same time murder. now depending on where you live that may or may not be enough but lets say a 100000 people saw it then the murderer would almost certainly be sent for life. David Hume said that a miracle should only be accepted if an natural explanation seem more far fetched. he also said that witness account are never enough if you could point me to another event where the same amount of people saw something paranormal ill appreciate it.
You know that you can interview real, living people, right now, that will tell you of their alien abduction stories? You can find many people from different areas who will tell shockingly similar stories that have a lot of elements in common. You can find whole groups who claimed to be abducted at the same time.
Does that mean you're likely to believe them?
Now take that scenario and make it happen 100 years in the past. Does it suddenly become more believable then?
