Proof That Visiting Space Aliens Do Not Exist

Posted on | February 24, 2009 | 12 Comments

It is, of course, impossible – or at least devilishly difficult – to prove a negative.  I cannot prove that Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny don’t exist.  Nor can I prove that your chosen deity doesn’t exist.  (Ahh … but I can mock you for your belief!  In fact, I would rank that among my top three hobbies.)

So how about all those space aliens buzzing around our planet spying on us and playing practical jokes on country bumpkins, whom no one will believe?  Well, in a nutshell, they don’t exist.  I know, I know, proving a negative and all.  But I’m going to apply a little math to bolster my case.

There are millions upon gazillions of camcorders, digital cameras, and cell phones, each with the ability to take video with very short notice, spread copiously across our planet.  You need only visit YouTube and other similar websites to see the mind-boggling array of human activities and natural occurrences captured – ranging from the mundane to the truly exceptional.  So many of those amazing spontaneous events that would otherwise be consigned to hearty storytelling for a few decades are now being immortalized for millions of internet viewers, present and future.

So where are all the alien spacecraft?  If they were visiting us in the numbers purported, there would be dozens – no, thousands - of convincing videos capturing the buggers.  Instead, all we get are the same old grainy specks that we had since the 1960s.  Come on!  I want to see some aliens, dammit!

Sadly, I won’t be seeing any real ones, because they don’t exist.  As far as I’m concerned, they have been mathematically excluded.  However, as we know, believers will be believers.  And they will stop at nothing to protect their cherished beliefs.  One of my favorites is when they explain the absence of reliable video evidence by stating that, “the aliens are far more advanced than us and they can control our minds to forget the event and they can erase our digital evidence.”

Puh-leez.  How friggin’ stupid can you be, anyway?

    If only aliens did exist! How exciting would that be!

    I think it’s ridiculous that people present pathetic attempts at recordings as existence of aliens.

    By the way, we have something in common: we both consider mocking a hobby. Wahay! You’ve got my attention.

    I just realized that my comment sounds interesting, in the ‘trying to pick up’ sense. Haha.

    we dont need video , or recording proof. we go ancient tablets, from the egyptions and other early cililzation like the summerains, and the summeriains knew about the planets like jupitier, saturn, unanus, and they had no technologly to do so back then, one there naked eye.. WE ARE JUST A GRAIN OF SAND, AND THE UNVIERSE IS ALL OF THE WORLDS BEACHES

    everyon but cody is a ignorant midless fool you really believe that we r the only life in the universe! there is endless amount of evidence that aliens have been coming and going for thousands of years people have found little golden airplanes in ancient egyptian tombs how would they know wat an airplane looks like when it wouldnt be invented for 1000s of years. the pyramids in egypt and the pyramids in mexico that the maya built line up exactly with the 3 stars of the belt of oryan and skeptics say that it was just a coencidence that 2 civilizations separted by the atlantic ocean could both have that kind of accurate astonomy. all the religions were started with aliens coming to earth way back when civilizations first started and saw so called “chariots” came down from the sky when they were space ships it just that our ancestors didnt understand who these beings were so they thought they were gods. the acient maya and the acient egyptians were both visited be et’s. y do u think we r so much smarter then every other creature on earth because the aliens to the creature that looked closest to them (early man) and mixed their dna with ours so yes we r part alien! i dont feel like rambling on to you idiots that like to mock other peoples theory on aliens when those theorys r much more logical and have facts and evidence to back it up HAHAHA you guys really r stupid. the mayan calnedar ends on dec. 21 2012 that is when they will come whether you nieve retards want to believe it or not

    OK, when that date comes and goes without incident, do you hereby swear never to believe in doomsday scenarios without the existence of convincing evidence supported by the majority of the scientific community?

    Or will you forget about this whole thing and move on to the imminent end of the world coming in 2014, 2017, or whenever?

    first of all that day wont go without incident at 11:11am on dec. 21 2012 we will experience a gallactic alignment which means all the planets in our solarsystem will be lined up which is scientifically proven will happen and happens every 25,800 years and scientist say since we first evovled from primeapes, every 26,000 years we evovled. and on dec.21 2012 we will evolve once again just like every other 26,000 years in our past we would get smarter, look a little different and our concious grows. and our dna will change once again from the cosmic rays which will be given off from the solar flares of the sun during the aligment and it is scientifically proven that cosmic radiation does change our dna. i never said the world was going to end and i never talked about “DOOMSDAY” because there will be no doomsday. Mankind is going into a new era where there is peace and harmony we are moving from the 3rd dimension into the 5th dimension. i will bet my life that this is going to happen in 2012 and after that there wont be anymore scenarios (when this is actually fact and science proven) because the alignment wont happen for another 26,000 years.this is a big step of human evolution we r about to take part on we r going into the aquarius age! havent you been paying attention to the government ufo disclosures from all the governments around the world they all say aliens exist and we must start getting ready for contact!! besides there are crop circles from the et’s that basically show us what is going to happen!!

    some links to prove that aliens exist and that 2012 is coming. make sure u watch the full videos to fully understand them.if u r still not convinced after these videos then start digging more information up and you will eventually realize the truth.

    Alright, I went ahead and posted your comment with links, mainly for my readers’ amusement.

    But seriously, crop circles? Of all the wacky things one can choose to believe in, you could not possibly find one that has been more thoroughly debunked.

    I know from experience that it is pointless to urge you to evaluate all these claims with a bit of rationality, so I won’t try. James Randi called your type “unsinkable ducks”, as they continue to cling to their ill-founded beliefs, even after a mountain of conflicting evidence is presented to them.
