Bruh. Literally thousands of studies out there demonstrate the principle of evolution. You need only look at dog breeding or crop breeding to see it in action, albeit human induced instead of natural.

We dont believe in evolution because one guy said it was true. And dont give me that 'hurr durr but Darwin said it was true' nonsense. He did (as did other contemporaries of his time) but it wasnt accepted until overwhelming evidence from countless observations and studies made it obvious.

Now lets look at this situation. One guy says he heard the government has non human remains. Not exactly the analogy you thought you were making.

And Ill cut this off at the pass because the next argument I always hear usually boils down to 'we can only know what we see' which is basically a solopsist argument. Which is self defeating because then you absolutely cant argue there's merit to this guy's testimony because you cant be sure of anything.

Except it's not just one guy saying aliens are here, it's hundreds, and these three said it under oath unlike the scientists you speak of. Yet you believe the word of the scientists and not the word of these men. You don't see the hypocrisy there?

Easy, Mac

The scientists dont just say it. They document and present evidence, which is then reviewed, reproduced and confirmed by other scientists

These men... not so much

I have bigfoot in my fridge. I will testify to this under oath. Now you must believe me.
