Indeed Carol. The Internet and in particular, YouTube contains more conflicting information than any other place on the entire WWW but God in his infinite wisdom truly defies man’s logic, in my heart, I believe that there are other beings out there but that if we are to be contacted by them it will just happen at the right time, whenever that may be. Thanks for your insightful comment as always. Andre’
This would be so fascinating to know for sure if aliens really are out there somewhere.
