Reply #66: Occam's Razor very clearly shows that aliens are unlikely

[Caution]

Aliens are the single most unlikely explanation for any of the various phenomena that are generally attributed to aliens by those who believe in them.

What is more likely to have occurred at Roswell? An alien crash landing or a crash landing of a classified military balloon?

What is more likely the cause of crop circles? Aliens or pranksters?

Who is more likely to have create the Pyramids? Aliens or Humans?

How about "Alien abduction?" Sad, deluded people fooled into it by skilled charlatans (or as they like to call themselves Regression Therapists) like Barbara Lamb or Aliens?

I'm assuming you mean the fire in WOTC7 causing the collapse (or the twin towers, either doesn't really matter all that much). The vast majority of structural engineers are in consensus that these building collapsed due to massive structural damage as a result of the plane crash, the massive fires caused by that crash (and in the case of WOTC7 the damage caused by the fall of the other two towers).

Explain to me how the VERY few who disagree with these findings are any different than the scientists trumpeted by the globa-warming deniers? Or the Young Earth Creationists (or as they now call themselves Intelligent Design proponents)?

Science is a consensual discipline and that includes forensic science. That one or two people out there who seem reputable are in support of MIHOP doesn't change the fact that the consensus is that these buildings were brought down as the result of the actions of 19 fundamentalist hijackers bent on destruction and suicide.
