We as humans define reality as something we can touch, feel, and are consciously experiencing. What people fail to acknowledge is that, how do you honestly know your not unconsciously manifesting this so called reality? What if when you go to sleep, your actually waking up from a dream instead. I mean do you honestly know 100% that you’re not dreaming right now; maybe because you convince yourself that your not. Maybe you pinch yourself; maybe you call someone on the phone to convince yourself. The funny thing about that though is that even when people are so called dreaming, they feel pain. They wake afraid and even sweating at times. So how do you know you’re not waking up into a dream? You don't and that’s what scares you the most.

Extraterrestrial Life vs Religion

Why is it that religion has so much bearing over extraterrestrial life? What makes religion so much more believable? There is no more proof than there is with extraterrestrial life. There is written accounts of religion (bible, etc...) However there are also millions of sightings and written accounts of extraterrestrial life. All that either is, are written accounts of what supposedly happened. The entire bible is just someone’s written account of what happened in their eyes. I mean if you want to get technical, for all we know, the bible could just be a good work of fiction, right? You might not want to admit that, but it’s a possibility whether you want to admit it or not. The same goes with extraterrestrial life though, for all we know it could be just the human mind wanting to believe in something badly. Which brings me back to my question? What makes religion so much more believable than extraterrestrial life? Maybe because religion is more socially acceptable to believe in. I know influence has something to do with what we believe in, but are people really that ignorant to see that religion is no more fact or fiction than extraterrestrial life is? Both are just written accounts that could be fact, but both could also just be a really good story though, right?
