I still don't. If aliens have been here for so long and are somehow benevolent (even Ukrainian intervention?) how do we explain ****** or Stalin, Putin or Kim Jong-il?
Trad, I insist that the God of Abraham was paraphrased, not recorded. Suppose many Bible descriptions were related/recorded without proceeding advancements in technical knowledge to better understand them. (if a religion or not)
IMO an open mind sees no conflict between science and the the true teachings of Islam, Judaism, or Christianity among many other faiths. One might have to comprehend a difference between lesson/metaphor and in context modern understanding of things learned since the Holy words were laid down, and I find that easy to do.
Reality may cloud/confuse one's perception. Perception may cloud/confuse one's reality. "All things considered" all things should be and are considered here as in the real World, are they not?. This could be one of our rare agree to disagree things, tho' I don't believe an alien presence has yet been discovered, much less accurately/convincingly recorded any more than I believe Bigfoot is transcontinental, or that ghosts exist.
btw, imagine a ghost that is held to the floor by gravity or whatever but can walk through walls without falling through that floor. Hmmm ... Seems there are lots of things one can believe in. It's a choice we make every day.
