Do you want to believe in intelligent ancient extraterrestrials seeding earth?

A question was just posted: Do you believe in Ancient Aliens? I was given an authentic scientific education and the question I above I want to re-post as: Do you want to believe in Ancient Aliens? The reason I restated it was because this is really what Dr Shaw stated when she said, "it is what I choose to believe." This is an important declaration because it is truly anti-scientific, and so is strange coming from a scientist with 4 doctorates. What I tell myself, to keep myself unbiased in my research is that it is not about what I wish to believe, its about what the evidence supports. That is real science. A real scientist can not allow themselves the luxury of acceptance of ideas as fact simply because they wish to believe so. That would bias the results and invalidate the scientific experiment, which is the golden standard by which all hypotheses are tested. Based upon this point I make here, Dr Shaw by clinging to her 'faith' in things unproven has left the scientific method behind and replaced it wishful thinking. I would like to believe in a cozy afterlife and loving God, but to be spiritually honest - and I use the term loosely, I can not claim to know the truth if I have not had some kind of subjective mystical experience. I am therefore an agnostic. The early Christians were against those who believed that it was possible to experience the All, God, or as the yogi's called it the Self with a capital S. To be Self realized was to have a direct experience of oneself yoked to the Almighty Self. Yoga means yoke. These early Christian mystics were known as Gnostics - those with a direct experience or 'gnosis' with the infinite. I have not had any such experience so I am an agnostic. I don't possess ultimate knowledge or have the definitive answers and this is the true human condition. Many are uncomfortable with not knowing and so fill up that void of knowledge with religions of different creeds. Dr Shaw is more of a religious person than a true scientist because not only does she state that she chooses to believe a given scientific hypothesis, she also is a faith driven Christian which is why she wears the cross. It is not as some have suggested imo, because of sentimentalism since her dead father gave it to her. I would be most interested in hearing what others have to say about this.
