this discussion keeps bringing the categories of "apophatic" and "cataphatic" theology to mind, there is a history of anomalous phenomena that has made good use of these categories (mysticism) - haven't worked it out any further than that, but I haven't seen these terms applied or analogized to ufology (Valee?) - also I think of "sufficiently warranted belief" and belief being "properly basic" - see reformed epistemology and the work of Alvin Plantinga - theological crossovers to the ufo field - and I'm not pushing that anywhere . . . just tickling my brain - someone has been over this before

[QUOTE="smcder, post: 173262"] this discussion keeps bringing the categories of "apophatic" and "cataphatic" theology to mind, there is a history of anomalous phenomena that has made good use of these categories (mysticism) - haven't worked it out any further than that, but I haven't seen these terms applied or analogized to ufology (Valee?) - also I think of "sufficiently warranted belief" and belief being "properly basic" - see reformed epistemology and the work of Alvin Plantinga - theological crossovers to the ufo field - and I'm not pushing that anywhere . . . just tickling my brain - someone has been over this before [/QUOTE]
