I suspect that the title decides the debate right off. Of all the strange and unlikely happenings in this world I vote for reality being more fantastic than any alleged fantasy regarding imagined things. Do we pay as much attention to the every day strangeness that surrounds us as we spend our time watching sports or fictional characters reciting make believe words that have no real meaning or substance? The producers make no contention that this is anything but entertainment. In real life people will come forward and tell us they had some experience of very high strangeness and our first impression is to doubt them. Why don't we give them some attention of a positive nature?

I have had a few non-reality experiences in my life but I have never talked to any one about them because they were of such a personal nature. There was no need for me to seek approval for my strange happenings so why share them?

Telling tales about things that should not occur, or are impossible in our present understanding, simply causes confusion and anxiety. People try to avoid any thing entering their lives that tends to complicate or give them doubts about what they know of the world.

If we take the trouble to consider the extreme behavior of insects, just for starters, we will note transformations that we could not imagine on our own. We will find unusual and strange methods of an insect imbedding another living insect or animal with their eggs so that the newborn will have a ready-made food supply. As soon as we think that we have seen it all science will discover some other conduct that is more strange and unimaginable than everything we learned before. This is just minor stuff in the over all picture of this Earth. Scienctists discoveries surprise themselves and prove themselves mistaken on many fronts. Recall the idea that the bottom of the oceans greatest depths could not support plant life due to the absence of sunlight getting that far down to the darkness. Well,
