(8,387 posts)It's possible that Joseph Smith found the Book of Mormon on gold plates in upstate New York in the 1800s. Certainly, there is a large number of people who believe it. I have never seen evidence of same to my satisfaction, so I don't believe it.
Do you believe it is possible that Joseph Smith found the Book of Mormon on gold plates in upstate New York in the 1800s?
I think it would be pretty stupid not to believe in the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
To date, however, there is no evidence that they have visited earth etc., so they stay in the same box with Joseph Smith's gold plates, Santa, etc..
Maybe they only come to visit the ghosts, since Earth is the only planet that is haunted by them.
There are some amazing things in this universe which, in contrast to alien visitors, are verifiably true. I haven't learned about all of the PROVEN things yet. So, when I stop being in awe of how many things people know, and which I have not yet personally learned, then I'll worry about the things for which there is only speculation and zero evidence. But I have not run out of wonder at actually reality yet, nor am I so arrogant to believe that the real, existing things I don't know aren't worth learning about.
