I have to disagree with the bolded part above.
It is possible that there is something off limits to science, that actually may exist. But since there is no way to test and verify it, there is no warrant to believe it is real.
The non testable and non verifiable are indistinguishable from non existence, but they still might exist.
Maybe God is a Klingon with good cloaking ability?

You have a (barf!) wonderful lifestyle Vorion.
Getting a little flirty with ole' Vorly, aren't you? Shouldn't lead him on if you don't intend to put out (or take it in).

When you were? I will take you at your word that you were. But what evidence do you have for your own personal belief that is any better than any other claim?
1. Define in detail what you think is out there if you are not in the "off" position that you once were.
2. Provide neutral scientific peer reviewed material that confirms your position outside your own personal bias.
If you cant do those things then you really are in no better a boat than anyone else.
Um, I actually posted a thread about some of this, I'm at a cross roads with my own ''issues'' with all of this. But no one is better than anyone else, so please watch how you judge people.
She's right, Brian. The xtians have the patent on shoulding on people. You shouldn't infringe on their franchise.
