Genesis 6:2.

"That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."

Extraterrestrial mating with human women described in the King James version of the bible. Extraterrestrials= Aliens.......anything not of this earth. This means Angels= Extraterrestrial beings.

Ezekiel 1:16

Ezikiel's Wheel Ufo Sighting (King James version):

"The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel."


That sounds like a car... WTF? Wheel in the middle of a wheel? Is that supposed to imply a wheel surrounded by a tyre? WEIRD!!

A lot of the stuff that suggest any type of alien life was left out of the Bible out of fear. My understanding is in one unreleased book, the author described getting taken away to another world.
I wouldn't suggest it for 100% factual evidence but the show Ancient Aliens can actually be useful for learning about some things in ancient history. They always take it as meaning it must be aliens but it could very well be God or just coincidence


Granted History Channel does go a little extreme sometimes with their Ancient Aliens; they do raise some interesting questions.  Stonehenge, various cultures that had no contact with each other building pyramids, etc... raise various questions.  How the hell do they move a rock that weighs a shit load from very far with simply man made technology of the time (levers, ropes, etc).  Some of the "man made" feats of the past are almost impossible with today's technology. 


Yes, Machu Picchu, underwater pyramids found near Cuba, Nazca Lines, The Pyramids of Egypt and much, much more are unexplainable structures which we dont know exactly how they were built and confuse even modern engineers. I knew this way before Ancient Aliens. The stones in the great Pyramids of Giza alone are probably too much for modern cranes.

People who have seen UFO's on earth have described many types of UFO's and the one described in the bible is one of them. Two  disc like shape multicolored with a wheel in the middle or rotating circle. I've heard about this many times because I used to be interested in the subject as a child.

One thing that interested me was the models they found that actually ended up being aerodynamic when put in a wind tunnel. One being in a tomb in Egypt and the other pieces being from central America. Then you've got the Nazca lines and entire mountain tops being cut away but not a single sign of the top of that mountain was found anywhere near the base of it.

Microscopic lifeforms outsie earth exist thats a fact (bacteria on asteroids etc).

And since creating microscopic life is a way bigger hurdle than evolving this into more complex lifeforms (which just takes time and not the BIG COINCIDENCE/EVENT/WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL the thing that started all of it)

Its just normal to assume there is life on other planets. That doesnt necessarily have to be able to understand math or speak or whatever but thinking there is no planet with well lets say alien-equivalents of insects or bugs is just ignorant.

I think what most people don't believe is that there are humanoids on other planets. Think of the big variety we have in animals and how many circumstances and (to us) random decisions by nature made us how we are. two arms, two legs, 10 fingers and toes, "walking"... This all happened because of the right fitting of countless variables. This is the problem when people think of aliens and they make them look close to us.
But I definitely believe there are more planets in the universe that have similar circumstances to earth so there could be life (if it's intelligent or not).
Another problem is that we suggest that "life" has to be similar to what we call life which could be entirely false, of course :)
Perhaps even aliens came once to earth which I somehow just "believe" given that so many religions and ancient tombs and so on concentrate on stars and sk/heaven - all this reaching for the stars (tower of babylon, pyramids) makes me believe that we once came in touch with higher beings.

Well, they had a lot of time on their hands and no video games to waste it. Also, they had no achievements or trophies, so they needed other ways to show off their peen. I mean such a pyramid, that's a trophy card for the ages.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Well, "life" has to be what we call life since humans have invented the word. The word itself outside of human context is meaningless.

You mean they had a lot of slaves on their hands?  Some of the feats are amazing.  Explain to me how they lift this rock that weighs tons into perfect position?
