In other words; ancient Greek mythology differs a little from your "average Hollywood alien". What's the difference between mount Olympus & the Mothership; really?
It looks like each civilization on the face of earth concluded a certain "form" of aliens: for the Greeks it was Zeus and his gang; to ancient Egyptians it is Ra and his family,...etc.
So, the sentence both theories have in common, is that we are "created"; "made"..
And we know that to be false.
Seems to have left "Allah" out, very popular "form" of aliens..at present. In any case, I tyhink that you're giving the similarities a short shrift, Atlas. Theres more than just the proposition of the creator in both. They're both (magic books and sci fi creature features) attempts to narrate and provide commentary on the human condition..as seen by whomever wrote them..and the creatures in question whether we call them gods or aliens serve as a foil in setting up a very human drama.
It's an observation that strikes me whenever a religious person starts complaining about god having taken a back seat. God started out in the back seat, preftext for the human elements of the story. It's not surprising to find him there.
