In an age where there were no man made flying vehicles, how was there so many claims of people coming from the heavens and landing on earth? You have
to realize that when the bible was written heaven didn't mean a beautiful white fluffy place with pearly gates, heaven simply met 'the sky above'.
Chariots of fire, didn't mean there was a horse drawn carriage coming from the clouds. Chariot meant in modern terms a vehicle. So, that being said a
chariot of fire coming forth from the heavens, probably meant a bright shiny ufo coming down from the sky.
IMO, Jesus probably was an alien, moses was contacted and protected by aliens while he was escorting the Israelites, and the gods of antiquity were
all beings from another world.
Believe it or not, I find this just as plausible as saying that aliens are actually angels and demons, rather angels and demons are actually aliens,
IMO.
When I say the Universe, this planet Earth, this solar system, this galaxy, and this race of Humans were all intelligently designed, it does not mean
persay that an old man with a long white beard named "God" starting waving his magic wand and creating stuff. No, thats not it at all.
I'm not suggesting aliens created the Universe, but rather, alien(s) could have directly interfered with the ecology of our planet numerous times,
going so far as to genetically modify humans and pre-humans, and do other expirements. This is where the "Giants" from the bible fit in. But let it
be known that these Giants were not 20 feet tall, rather, they were just slightly bigger than what we'd call a big ass dude today. Take Shaquille
O'neil, make him 8 foot 5 inches to 10 feet tall, and you have a biblical "giant". They also often had an extra finger(s) and/or toe(s). This if
anything is ancient documentation of genetic mutation / modification, resulting in "Giants".
And ho hum', wouldn't you know, the entire planet has a Great Deluge or Flood event in the mythos of each and every culture that is present. Is it
so hard to imagine that these alien(s) created an artificial flood or artificial conditions for a flood to kill these things they had created and
tampered with? Especially after receiving an order by the highest up being to do so?
And here lies human compassion. It says in Genesis "let us create them in our likeness" so, it only makes sense that one or more of these "aliens"
tipped off "Noah" and his family to build a boat to survive the flood. Is it not also too much of a stretch to say there were multiple Noahs, and
multiple Arks, across the globe? Surely these beings wouldn't take the time to explain that they were only saving a few of each genetic stock, and
would tell the person they're warning ahead of time to build a boat for that person and their family alone. This way, multiple cultures are saved,
and more importantly, diverse genetics are saved that will one day become the basis for our current gene pool. And Scientists themselves will tell you
there was an era or time period within the past 10,000-100,000 years that almost saw the extinction of the Human race. We had been shrunken down to
only a few thousand left on the planet, or was it a few hundred? Anyways, all of our genes come from this small group.
