So, you believe that people claiming to see UFOs and aliens are actually telling the truth? You think that UFOs are real?
You either believe UFOs are (a) real or (b) fake/deception/lies, which is what I meant by "conspiracy".
Maybe you just didn't understand the context of my sentence, but I hope it's clear now.

Not really, because as I said before (on the second page of this thread):
Quote:I used to believe that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by some Muslims extremists/terrorists as well (for the first 10 years after the 9/11) and that didn't really affect my perception of Muslims in general nor about Islam because I know for a fact that such an action is not supported by our religion at all. However, it was only after I started to research on this subject about 2 years ago that I began to realize that a lot of things about the 9/11 suggest that it was actually an inside job. I don't claim to know that for sure, but the conspiracy theory makes a lot more sense to me.
That's all.

Also:

I mean, so what? Is that really proving anything?

Quote:For the most part there is a a great deal of proof out there that the “red/grey chips” that Jones et al based their paper on, are in fact a rust inhibiting primer paint with a Kaolinite base.
“We can also say that because Kaolinite is present and that it is embedded in a Carbon based matrix with Rhomboidal Fe2O3 that a more likely explanation for the red material is paint.”
I don't buy that, Min.
I think scientists are smart enough to be able to at least differentiate between thermite and red paint; the two have very different physical properties.
