Too much oxygen deprivation. 79-year-old senility and not enough press for his ego.

I have no problem with extraterrestrial life forms. I do have a problem with supposedly "sentient" extraterrestrial(or, for that matter, terrestrial but non-human) life forms. To be sentient requires a soul, and the Bible ascribes that only to humans, setting us apart from the rest of Creation.
In addition, sentient aliens raises difficult theological questions--did Jesus die for them, or are they even fallen? Or did the Son of God come to them in another form?

Is that, 'No, extra-terrestrials are a fantasy', or is it, 'Extra-terrestrials are no fantasy.'?

Were angels and demons created here on this earth or somewhere else?

We don't know for sure, though some hypothesize that it was at the time the darkness was separated from the light. I'm fairly certain that they were created after the universe, and that they are at least constrained to time, if not space as well.

Have you ever noticed how similar many UFO sightings are to Ezekiels vision of the throne of God? Wheels inside wheels, a rim of eyes ( lights) all around, etc.
Satan loves to imitate and counterfeit.
You really need to think this through if you talk to teens. Teenagers want answers. Too many eyewitnesses to dismiss it. Personally I show them Ezekiel's vision and how much alike the UFOs are, and they grasp fallen angels manifesting real quick.
About the slanty eyed grey greens supposedly seen undergound in military installations....I have read reliable people who say that work with human-animal hybrids has been going on for decades in secret, and I have no reason to disbelieve it. I am sure back even in Hitler's day they started experimenting. Maybe they want creatures they can send into battle that can't think, or have some special animal quality that helps in war. Crreepy to think about, but total depravity leads men into the most perverse of "scientific" pursuits.

When I was a small child, my father owned a service station. One of his customers was an old man we called Mr. Jack. He knew I liked science, and he used to give me some really cool stuff - magnets, old National Geographic magazines... and he used to tell me stories about how when he was an engineer he talked to people in NASA who told him that when we went to the Moon that we found out we weren't the first ones there . He did say that there was uncertainty whether or not those whom the astronauts encountered on the Moon were humans or something else. Years later (I was in my 20s) I met up with Jack again, and he invited me over his house. I asked him if he remembered telling me those stories when I was a kid - and he said he not only remembered but that it was 100% true. Jack was not a crackpot, he was not a drunk, and he was very intelligent. Call me nuts, but I believed him then and I believe him now.

I honestly have not done enough research to say, but I suppose it is always possible. I am very interested to hear what y'all think about it though.
