PR, again I'm not sure where this quote comes from, but have you actually thought about it? It's saying the exact opposite of what you are.

No one on this earth can argue God does not exist. It's just not possible. But YOU believe it is because you only believe that which the human intellect can explain. I believe you're comfortable with that just as I am with having faith.

And nobody can argue that there aren't fairies in the forest, but not being able to disprove something doesn't validate it. I can certainly argue that God is illogical and a highly unlikely answer though.

Faith saved my life literally, but I won't bore you with the details. But I can tell you that it's not just what I "Believe"...it is what happened.
Fact: I would not be alive if it weren't from help from a power greater than myself. I've met people who scoff and say demeaning, small-minded things like "I can't believe in a guy with a beard in the sky". So upon reading this, I ask you not to come back with a quick witted auto-response that in your mind cancels out my post.
Try to just respect it and leave it as it is.

This conversation started off as Alien UFO conspiracy stuff, then it naturally went to religion because they are based on faith with no evidence. If you are happy with choosing an answer to things that you feel helps you psychologiclly then good for you, I'm not going to come to your door and interrogate you about it. But if you state something is the way it is in an internet forum then it's going to be challenged like any other opinion.
I'm not sure what you mean by "respect" but if that means that your opinions are not to be challenged then I'm going to refuse to "respect" that. This is the strangely privaleged position the religious have placed themselves in. If it was politics, football, music we were talking about nobody would dare say "respect" my politically ideas and don't argue with them.

Just to let you know, I have looked at all rational scientific explanations NOT to believe. I have not closed my mind to them in my life. But now that I actually have proof to support my belief, I no longer need to weigh any scientific thought.

Then your "evidence" is entirely subjective and no different to anyone else claiming they know Pagan Gods or Voodoo works from personal experience.

So how do you explain the millions of people who are more intelligent than you who have faith or believe in UFO's?

No, actually I don't. Millions of people "smarter" than me and you probably disagree with you on a number of subjects, fortunately when they claim something is so, the burden of proof is on them to provide evidence.
