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.
