    Yeah, that’s understandable because I have to explain it every single time (already explained it to my mother about 4 times now). Whereas believing in aliens is actually quite reasonable (just not that they are here and spend their time making crop circles and probing trailer trash).

      I wish more people made that distinction. Believing that there is a whole universe and Earth is the only planet to develop life is quite unreasonable without strong evidence for it but so is the idea that aliens would cross the interstellar distances just to make crop circles or probe random farmers.

        are you kidding. human farmers are known for their ass cracks. Always showing them off while working on tractors or doing plumbing. Well except for those prudish overalls types. I mean how are the aliens going to resist that.
