Whether it’s fear,

arrogant-know-it-all stubbornness,

tunnel vision,

myopic thinking,

wholesale ignorance gone to seed . . .

there are a lot of reasons folks can’t or refuse to face the evidence . . . which has been considerable for decades.

Sounds a bit alien-ish to me

but I guarantee you that they are not demonically derived!

"Conversely, there are few cases (I don’t know of any) of Christians reporting alien sightings."

Perhaps Christians con't perceive them as, "alien", but rather miraculous or angelic. The Emperor Constantine saw the apparition of a cross in the sky (In Hoc Signi), and of course, the The miracle of the sun at Fatima, Portugaul was well documented, although of course, its cause has never been definitively been established as alien, demonic or miraculous.

Likewise, no less a Christian thinker wrote both fiction and serious philosophical postulation about the existence and moral nature of life on other worlds (and humorously speculated about how human vanity would lead us to proselytize on an Edenic world where the natives had actually obeyed God, and not fallen from grace.)

AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANS

with an ACTIVE RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ

are evidently not abducted, can readily stop an abduction cold and instantly by invoking spiritual warfare use of

Jesus’ Name and Blood

I’ve ran across one woman who claims that’s not true but I trust Guy Malone’s research on it more than her ignorance.

Guy surveyed ALL the well known researchers in the field and ALL of them have verifications of that but REFUSE to allow their names to be associated with that fact.

Guy holds out the slight possibility of ET races on other worlds but seems to be convinced that all the current crops are various types of fallen angels from a spiritual dimension.

I can imagine both. Regardless, they are in cahoots with the globalists toward setting up the satanic world government.

That’s enough for me to know who their boss is.

Thankfully, there is that Scripture about

ALL CREATION WAITS EXPECTANTLY, GROANINGLY, YEARNINGLY FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD.

If there are other races on other planets, they are eager to be delivered of sin and satan’s rule.

LOL!

"Dr Mitchell, who was on Apollo 14 in 1971, has told how he was aware
of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with Nasa but each one was covered up."

Well then Mr. Speaker, Beam Me Up!!!

Evolution is dead.

The ET’s will purport to have begun life here by seeding it.

Oh...and while I suppose the author pre-dated Christ, my Bible includes a Book of Ezekiel. You may want to take a look at Chapter 1.

Then, given that these tech life forms could be from other galaxies, you have the speed of light barrier to contend with. Not saying that it couldn’t be overcome with sufficient tech, but just pointing out the hurdle to travel.

I don't agree with the number of galaxies theory, that said, if there are intelligent beings, and there most likely are, other than us in the Universe then they would simply have to master Alberts E=MC2 and solve how to cross the space/time curve in order to visit us. It could happen because anything is possible. However, we do seem to be short of concrete proof that intelligent beings from else where have visited earth.

Hell, we lack proof that intelligent beings actually live here at all!

What is your perspective and where is your assertion coming from?

I’m a Christian. I’ve not seen an actual extraterrestrail (that I know of), but I have seen an extraordinary craft in flight that defied conventional aerodynamics and I would call it a UFO. What that craft did in flight is still beyond our conventional flight capabilities, so it would stand to reason that it was extraterrestrial ... from our future or an ‘off-world’ civilization, I haven’t a clue. And before you poopoo the notion of extraterrestrails, remember there ARE Angels and demons and they exist in some where/when you/I/we cannot access readily, AND there are extraterrestrial sightings throughout the Bible narrative.

Having accepted for decades that Fatima was as purported . . .

I’m not 100% convinced it was alien/ET generated hoax stuff start to finish.

Then, the probabilities of each can be “guessed” at, but they certainly aren’t greater than the generous figure given of 10%.

I don't know about that. 10% doesn't seem generous at all with regards to the percentage of stars with planets. Given the rate we're finding them with incredibly insensitive methods (which would probably return a negative result on our own solar system from a distant location), I'd say that first unknown ought to be at least 50%, if not higher. I'd also say 10% is pretty cynical with regards to the percentage of intelligent life that ends up emitting detectable radio signals at some point. For other variables, however, 10% could be generous.

When I found out exactly how huge the galaxies and universes are, I really started believing in other forms of life on other planets. It just seemed to astronomical to not have.

It is a perfectly human reaction to engage in jokes, gags, and ridicule when dealing with a subject that has the potential to literally change our entire geopolitical reality.

Dr. Edgar Mitchell (like the late Gordon Cooper), has nothing to gain from making the statements that he has made. This is a man who was considered rock solid, emotionally stable enough to fly all the damn way to the Moon and back, handle the controls of the Lunar Module, and perform his duties as close to perfect as possible. Mitchell is certainly not senile, insane or some kind of UFO nut. He has stated in fact that he has never seen a UFO himself, he is not an ‘abductee’, he is a former astronaut and scientist.

But he has obviously seen and heard enough from his peers and colleagues to be convinced that there is some sort of extraterrestrial presence that has been encountered over the past 6 decades and there is an enormous body of evidence that supports that conclusion.

The easiest thing to do is to engage the automatic knee jerk reaction and start joking about ‘little green men’, ‘tin foil hats’ the inevitable X-file ‘the truth is out there’ punchlines, because that enables that sort of personality to keep their mind closed, their reality under some semblance of ‘control’, and they don’t have to face the possibility that our human species has been interacting with some sort of unearthly entities for a very long time.

My personal beliefs are that whatever UFOs and their occupants are, they are NO friends of humanity, they are without a doubt in my mind, malevolent and deceptive, and in my own personal spiritual/theological framework, I tend to think they are indeed demonic in nature.

We should be on our guard and wary of any interactions with such entities. They are NOT our friends. I would highly recommend the book ‘The Threat’ by Dr. David Jacobs of Temple University. He is as reliable an authority on this subject as anyone, in fact he has been studying the phenomenon since the 1960’s.

I really like George Takei. Ok, so he married a guy, oh well. Maybe it’s the Trekkie geek inside of me speaking (hey, who else is going to Dragon Con!!!), but he always seemed like such a nice guy.

That's 10% per star/solar system of having the given factor, not a 10% TOTAL (universal) chance of the factor. Once you get all the 10%'s multiplied together, then you can multiply that by the number of stars in the galaxy, etc.
