Stanton is very biased at this point, and is not given to lying. His perspective is very noticeable however:
"A small group of religious fundamentalists (Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson come to mind) have already loudly proclaimed that UFOs are the work of the devil and there is no other intelligent life outside Earth. What an insult to the notion of an all powerful GOD!"

Stan goes not 'get it' regarding the non-intervention of God, perhaps because it seems God has at times intervened in the affairs of humankind yet 'allows' certain hideous things to happen without stopping them.

Stan believes in God, but his depth of study is very limited, thus he has yet to realize that the adversary wants to goad God into reaction and thus have a degree of control over God. ... The aliens visiting this planet may be inferiror to humans in one very crucial category: they may have a soul of life yet lack a spirit. After all, before God breathed His breath of Life into Adaqm, Adam was without an alive spirit. I happen to believe humans are the ONLY life form on planet Earth that have a spirit. If the visitors lack that parameter, it would make humankind a very interesting study indeed! ... And very dangerous to the aliens despite their superior technology.

We have to understand the possibility that the visitors may be very carefully chosen, limiting the aliens who are allowed to come see us and study us. Inter-stellar travel is a complexity which may be very carefully controlled by a ruling elite.

I'l stop there. No need to give the usual naysayers any more grist for their ridicule mills.
