One of these days you'll need to explain what that word means and why you start out by saying it.
Language after all works because both the speaker and recipient understand the meaning of the words being used,.

Would an alien who could change the whether, speak through a brning bush cause the plagues seeming hold the sun in place be seen as God 2000 or better yet 6000 years ago? do you think they knew to look for magic or technology? or as Mr.Clark says the two become one in the same?
(Seriously have you not seen thor, star trek or stargate yet?) What about prometheus? the idea there is "god" or "engineers for you science types" What if the universe was created through means we can understand/technology rather than through our ancestors ascribed to ? Does that make the of a creator any more plausible?
God or engineer= Alien as He is not from here, the bible tells us that. which makes him literally an alien. to which I ask why is tib's alien in the OP plausible and calls for NO scrutiny from you and God despite a realistic look through scientific classification as a alien is summarily dismissed?
Actually I have long argued that a god cannot exist because if you managed to define what a god is then you'd have something else ... such as an alien.

i used the word glob as it is used in the show.. as an expression when another character has done something wrong or made a big mess of themselves or a situation. It's kind like asking for God to help you work through a mess.
Quote:This is why I find it amusing that you are so willing to call your god an alien.The reason it is amusing is because you limit God to a very narrow cartoonish view of that word.
In truth what i am saying is God fits the definition of the word. as such it puts Gd back in the realm of reality. it makes the thing God has done plausible in the minds of people who can fathom a technical way for God to do what He has done.

As I see it the fact that the film Prometheus was even made is proof that an all wise god does not exist.
Ah, no..
Prometheus was a film meant to crush both sides of the argument. The faith side and the evolutionary side. however the faith side takes a far less of a hit when you take into consideration when you get a full script.

The engineers seem to be angels and they worship God or a God.. Don't confuse this for any form of Christianity. All I am saying is that faith/God plays a bigger role in the original script. It was too religious for FOx and that is why there were so many rewrites. in the original draft God Jesus all play a huge role, down to the reason why the alien ship was going to earth 2000 years ago with the load of black goo set to wipe out all life.
Again Im not saying God is restrained by the box or definition of the word Alien. I am saying A big part of His persona fit this definition, which in turn makes just about everything attributed to God possible if we can imagine a race with a technology greater than ours or a race/being who is able through whatever means manipulate time space/matter.
