Was God An Alien?
44 Answers
I’ve taken this from another area of AB because I’ve been asked a question on the subject and I prefer to discuss it here.
I think it entirely possible that aliens visited earth thousands of years ago and because of their advanced technology, were mistaken by the primitive earthlings for supernatural gods. Ancient texts from around the globe, including the bible, carry accounts of flying vehicles, and unfathomable structures as well as artifacts, drawings, etc., which appear to represent that which would have astonished the people of the day, but are now easily recognisable, are plentiful.
Atheist said on the other thread: //I'm surprised that you might rely on ancient writings. artworks and constructions. Could you perhaps expand and maybe explain the difference between your ideas and Theland's?//
... and to answer him, there is no correlation between my suspicions and Theland’s faith. I look at texts - the bible included - and being fully aware that technology was non-existent at the time those texts were written, simply ask what the authors were attempting to describe, My conclusion can only be the presence on earth of a far more technologically advanced race of people who came here from elsewhere.
This is a subject I’ve studied for very many years and one that I find absolutely fascinating. Let me know what you think. I’ve got my tin hat on. ;o)

aliens as God
you may change your pleadings if you wish Naomi - amend I mean
( I promise not to snigger as you do - - "aliens but not lizard men" - could be a good scene in Rumpole - Judge says portentously, " I suppose that excludes green eyed lizard men Mr Rumpole?"
" yes my lord exactly that: Comets, importing change of times and states, Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky, "
I apologise if I have understood any of the points you have made....
