Many times I feel that in the old testament, God has been misinterpreted as an extraterrestrial. But not all the time.

For example, when God "walks with" or "personally visits" someone, I feel this was probably an extraterrestrial who was more or less a messenger of God. I certainly feel that these extraterrestrials obviously have a higher understanding of God, thus they were able to reiterate God's message.

As for proof of extra terrestrials, I certainly feel that the worldly legends of such beings like "the annunaki" and the increase in sightings of UFO's indicates that we are not alone in the universe. Not to mention how expansive the Universe is, I highly doubt we are the only life in such a grand expanse. When you consider that scientists confirmed the finding of other planets similar to earth, I certainly feel that it's very hard to deny the possibility of life on other planets.

You're kind of all over the map aren't you.

Unless there were a whole lot of those bastards wandering around, of all different types, God is still just a figment of an over-active imagination.

I just see overwhelming evidence for things that humanity cannot currently understand without enlightenment.

I also just wanted to have a fairly clear post explaining my position on UFO's before sometime tried to argue the non-existence of them

I'm a deist pal and even I don't see overwhelming evidence of anything. Let alone aliens that commune with God. There's a limit to how much absurdity that "Spiritual" license affords you.

   

If there are ET's they probably came into existence in much the same way that we did. If they can visit us, I really don't see why they would. The majority of earthlings are delusional half-wits. If they're so technologically advanced that they could travel through space at their leisure, then a string of logic would suggest that they do not subscribe to any Gods. They would have already destroyed themselves over their opposing beliefs, thus stifling the advancement of science and technology in their culture.

God is just a mindless, nonthinking way to explain things that take an evolved intelligence to understand. This is why people who thought that fire and the wheel were the hoopiest things ever came up with such a concept. How could they possibly understand the immense complexity of life and the universe? Modern earthlings are still figuring out some things and making discoveries every day. I have to say that we would be a lot further along in scientific advancement if not for religion. It has been the only thing to stifle the progress of science and technology.

Really? What do you actaully mean by' overwhelming evidence'? Are you conftating evidence with proof? (they are not the same thing) Could you also provide a few examples of things 'we" cannot understand?


IF you mean proof,so please tell me just ONE piece,overwhelming or otherwise.Personally,I've never seen either.

Over going back about 40 years, I've probably reads about a dozen of the "god was an alien" crackpot books..

There are few common elemensts; The writers tend to be autodidacts without any expertise in the fields in which they presume to teach and they have not grasped the basic notions of logical argument. The biggest single problem seemss to be the basic logical fallacy of argument from personal incredulity,aka argument from lack of imagination.


What these people are actually saying is ""I'm too ignarant,too unimaginative or too stupid to think of anything else, therefore aliens/god did it"

The scientific proof is indeed overwhelming. It's just not that scientists have found other planets that can support life, but in collaboration with the size of the universe, I certainly feel its nigh statistically impossible for their NOT to be life on other planets

And then there's all the global legends about how we have had "visitors" from "the heavens". It's just too much. Then there's all these accounts of abductions and surgeons having to remove alien implants! Overwhelming.

And considering that extraterrestrials mastered space travel, they have WAY better technological advancements, as in technology that can understand God. Not like this feeble humanity and its science. As advanced as humanity has come with its science, it would be foolish to hold faith in a field that is always changing. I am only presenting a likely theory that even an atheist can appreciate. God could of easily been misinterpreted as an extraterrestrial.

Oh my dear tap-dancing frog Jesus.

One thing at a time.

Okay, let's start with implants. Where's the evidence?
