We are just trying to make sense of many things, some seem to be more unpenetrable than others.

And some people try to make sense of things by contriving vastly over complicated fictions (sort of the opposite of Occam's Razor).

Percival Lowell pointed his telescope at Mars and instead of seeing a fuzzy, largely ambiguous blob of light he saw engineered structures. Canals! And since such engineered structures simply don't spontaneously manifest themselves, the canals must have been built by someone. And so we go from fuzzy blob, to canals, to Martians!

You offer your sophomoric diatribes about Lister et al. and speak of the closed-mindedness of others but seem oblivious to your own closed-mindedness. A closed-mindedness that recognizes only the Listers and omits the Lowells.

But in a bit of a twist, in this case you seem to be making the argument for Martians.
