Any thoughts on ANCIENT ASTRONAUT THEORY (that ALIENS are behind RELIGON)?

Very few people on this site will admit to following the Ancient Astronaut Theory. Once you've admitted to being "one of those Von Daniken nuts" you lose all credibility, as everyone thinks you've fallen off your rocker. I never have cared what others think of me, and am therefore not afraid to admit that I have been a believer in the Ancient Astronaut theory for over thirty years. It's the only thing which makes sense to me.

Even throughout all my years of atheism, I have believed that the Bible and other ancient texts are factual, historical accounts recorded in the best way they knew how. Writing was a new invention, something reserved for scribes and the highly educated. It was a difficult process, to set word to paper, and I cannot understand why so many people are convinced these are fanciful stories. Why on earth would anyone under these circumstances record fanciful stories rather than their history?

This makes no sense to me. I believe there is truth in these pages, just as I believe that prehistoric man recorded visitations in petroglyphs and in paintings on cave walls. They recorded their hunting experiences, the animals they saw ... and the beings they encountered.

Look, I could go on about this all day. The Ancient Astronaut Theory fascinates me like nothing else. There is a website which may interest you. It's called The Bible UFO Connection, and I will include a link. The site is huge. In over five years of visiting almost daily, I have yet to read all the information.

What may seem odd to some is that not all believers in the Ancient Astronaut Theory are atheists. I'm not. Erik Von Daniken isn't. Neither is Georgio Tsoukolos. Not a one of us will claim to be religious in any way, yet all of us will proclaim a belief in a supernatural entity. This may seem a contradiction, but people are free to believe what they wish. You are entitled to a belief in the Ancient Astronaut Theory.

very highly unlikely. On the order of a billion trillion numbers in a lottery. And it also seems psychologically unreasonable anyways.

Aren't you watching what is happening on this planet. We can't even manage a descent society.

You think other planets did... and then traveled across unimaginable distances, to visit an almost invisible spec, revolving around a slightly less than average spec of light.

Yur egzacly rite! I was abducted by aliens last year! After they stuck a probe up my *ss they taught me all about religons all around the world. Now I am an atheist because I see all religons are really come from aliens. I hope you can be abducted one day too.

Ippon, I have mulled over this possibility for many years and although we may have had alien visitors, I reject the notion that the basis for Christianity comes from them. Keep the faith. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is real, is Love, Light, Truth, Wisdom, Grace, benevolence and eternal.His goodness endureth from everlasting to everlasting. Depend on it. Believe it. Once you have been filled with The Holy 'Spirit, you will realize there is no room left for doubt.

It is nuts to think that aliens are behind it all. People are imaginative. The inaccuracies and leaps over counterevidence with speculation are rife in all these hypotheses ( a better word than they deserve)

It's more likely than the crap in the bible. What I'd like to know is how come they haven't made an appearance since then.

its one of the dumbest things people use to try and prove that there is no God

I just love that guys' hair!!The more he talks the bushier his hair gets!!!

"Why not just be atheist and forget all this "weird" explanations of things?" - and your suggesting aliens are behind it ....is this somewhat ironic perhaps ...

I've seen Stargate too!
