    I actually do not know what  I was  saying since  it must  have been  a 
while back, and you omitted it from the post.  I did not post the  billions 
of stars therefore point.  But obviously I stated something along the lines 
of how are you so certain.  And that is basically  the problem,  with 'any' 
type of story in this world.  You cannot always determine  truth from  math 
logic, nor does your logic apply  to unknowns.   You cannot  apply true  or 
false logic based on  an unknown  quantity can  you?  I  suggest behavioral 
science or psychology, or just plain common sense would  be a  better tool 
for weeding out the 98 percent bogus offerings in Ufology.....
Happy Trails,
Fred.
