Sounds sensible to me, Ron. What you said, I mean.

I am also puzzled by people who simply MUST have a definite "yes" or "no" answer for every darned thing under the sun that one might happen to mention. I don't know what their problem is, but it might be the fear of uncertainty itself, I suppose.

Another area of controversy that's quite interesting is the various tales and incidents involving what are purported to be Bigfoot or Yeti-type creatures. Most of those incidents have occurred in mountainous or heavily forested and remote areas.

They could be sightings of bears or other known animals. They could be sightings of something else, not yet confirmed. Some of them are surely hoaxes...but I doubt that all of them are.

And yet, I'm sure you can find a host of people who will simply INSIST that there's no truth to any of it and that there CAN'T be any truth to any of it! Where they get such rocklike faith in their blithe assumptions, I don't know...but it rivals the faith of born-again Christians or Islamic Jihadists, in that it is based on KNOWING something without benefit of any evidence, experiential or otherwise...but merely on the basis of hearsay, and personal preference. That's a form of religious faith, not an impartial or informed opinion about something.
