Ok, I'm gonna troll this up a bit.
So you have empirical proof that UFO abductions are beyond possibility? (Which is impossible...)
This seems more interesting than the OP's idiocy. It doesn't seem fair to lump together something that is easily disproved - e.g. rigtard arguments through basic statistics - and something that is impossible to disprove because of an utter lack of empirical evidence in support of that argument - e.g. that UFOs / abductions do not exist.
Yes, it can be argued that the vast majority of supposed abductees are mentally deranged, but in reality, that speaks absolutely nothing to the actual existence of UFOs / UFO abductions. How could it? That is the equivalent of saying "Some religious folk are mentally deranged, therefore God does not exist." Frankly, none of us are in the know. As such, it is better to not simply repeat what cultural authorities tell us about the existence of such things.
The creationist analogy is much more appropriate as creationism has been widely disproved by empirical evidence.
Regarding the "Prove to me there's no such thing as unicorns" comment - The paleontological record has never been argued to be (and never will be) an all-encompassing record of plant/animal existence throughout all of history. Just as I couldn't prove that unicorns exist, you couldn't prove that they never did, and vice versa.
This is the inherent problem with this line of reasoning that everything cultural authorities (e.g. government, the scientific community, the media) tell us is true. Perhaps these things are [sometimes]
likely true. But
proven? Let's not get carried away.
This is not to be confused with OP's idiocy.
