Regarding UFO's, there is more evidence to suggest they are real then are not. I could show you youtube videos of high ranking officials admitting they are real, but someone would just say they are actors or something. Eh, what are you going to do? Best not to argue.
I'm agnostic. I deal in probabilities. Now there may be more positive proof than negative. I don't know. I've not seen much of it. I may say they are actors and I may say they are not but they are telling you what you want to hear or they are telling the truth or they may have not looked at all the evidence or they may be a collective hallucination or my be something else. I don't know.

The probability of life on other planets has a good chance of being right given the size of the observable universe. A vastly more intelligent race of beings may be with us right now and the odds of that are more vague. The probability of winning the UK lotto jackpot is around 13 million to one. People still win it but not many. There are weeks when no one wins it.

Beliefs are all the same in one respect that they require evidence to maintain them. However with beliefs the evidence is not always full or is simply an illusion and at times new information is disregarded so that their illusions aren't shattered. Maggie Fox started the spiritualist movement by conning people. She finally confessed but by then the movement was a creating a lot of money. She was shouted down by her peers. Did the hard core believers stop believing? Well I know you know the answer to that.
