O.K. So  what valid reason do you have for saying;

Bible believers are incapable of examining the writings contained in the bible and determining the validity of those writings. ?

What makes you a better authority on such matters?

China, The World's Next Superpower?

@vagabond
Is a super power a country that invades another country without reason and ten years later is still fighting there?

Not necessarily. Any country with nuclear arms is a superpower.

Bible believers are incapable of examining the writings contained in the bible and determining the validity of those writings. ?
And what valid reason and authority do you have for saying;
Actually most of the bible is fiction, fabrication and lies. ?

I'm not sure why you chose to change my period to a question mark


because they are questions. Rhetorical maybe but questions all the same.
Start again. You ask


   "What do you believe in and why"?


Ancient aliens/gods. Why? because I like to and want to. 
So you would like to believe in ancient aliens/gods.


I have said "I like to", not I WOULD like to.
Do you have any objective reason to believe that
No.
or do you just like the idea whether it is true or not? 
Already stated, that  because "I like to".
That said if I am having trouble understanding someone's position I have no problem restructuring my question and asking again .
And doing this makes you understand the answer better even though it is exactly the same response. I see. Well this is what causes circular arguments. One person will insist on restructuring or just plain asking the same soddin question over and over again, and the other will just get entirely peed off and wonder is the questioner thick,( I don't think you are: at the moment anyway) or just being plain awkward for the hell of it and a bit of attention.

I do. I have already said I do.

No
do you just like the idea whether it is true or not?
I have already said so. Do you always repeat your questions in a restructured manner?
Are these physical beings we are discussing?
Just to further my earlier response; yes, I don't know of any other type .

What do you mean by left the planet?

I am sure I cannot put that any plainer than I have. Left means as in left and gone, not here, left.
Are these physical beings we are discussing?
I believe so yes.

I am sure it will be better than an Islamic State such as Iran
