EP10 UFO skepticism versus belief, a humanist’s view — James Croft, St. Louis Ethical Society

It’s been a steady drumbeat toward disclosure. For the last few episodes of Intention, we have focused on the burgeoning UFO / UAP topic. A groundbreaking story that is gaining momentum as the U.S. Government is set to release an unprecedented official report on UFOs in the near future.  People are picking sides. In the past, observers of this narrative typically fall into one of two camps — skeptics and believers. But with recent developments, is there now a third category of ufology? One that is backed by hard evidence.  Some believe so, some don’t. Today, we speak with James Croft, Leader of the St. Louis Ethical Society – one of the largest Humanist congregations in the world. James is an accomplished humanist and a skeptic. We briefly debate the new evidence — the Tic Tac Nimitz Encounter, the Gimbal, and Go Fast videos, and the testimony of military professionals such as Lt. Ryan Graves and Luis Elizondo. A graduate of Cambridge and Harvard Universities, James was raised on William Shakespeare, Carl Sagan, and Star Trek; and it is in the spirit of famed humanist Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek, that we come to this episode’s guest on the topic of UFOs and the potential interaction between human, and non-human intelligent beings.If these recent pivotal events prove to be consequential, the human identity will be in flux for years — how will worldviews change if we find we’re not alone?
