What's your take on the question?
I can't make a blanket answer except on a case by case basis. I disbelieve UFO's are from another planet or galaxy because the distances are so far. A disbelief is no different than a belief...its an opinion. I could be wrong and aliens maybe so far advanced that they have technology that would make us blush. The available evidence is (my opinion) is too weak to justify the belief they come from other planets.
I hope I passed the audition!
That wasn’t the question, though, was it? I think Sheldon was asking what, if anything, is your standard for disbelieve generally. If you don’t have such a standard, that’s fine, but it makes any argument regarding your beliefs inherently weak.
