It would make more sense for them to simply build habitats than to try to terraform a planet

As summer blockbuster season kicks into high gear, big-budget action movies like The Avengers, Battleship, and Prometheus remind us that there's one thing that unites Americans: Our shared fear of an alien attack. They also remind us that when the invading space fleet arrives, humanity is not going to surrender without a fight to our intergalactic invaders. Instead, we will band together to fight off their incredibly advanced weaponry with our ... well, with what, exactly? Are we really ready to battle our would-be alien overlords?
Luckily, the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA, as well as some of the world's largest weapons manufacturers, are dreaming up the weapons of the future today. With the help of everything from lasers on jets to hypersonic planes to invisibility cloaks, we just might be able to make the battle for Earth a fair fight. You may think we're joking, but why else would NASA be uploading The Avengers to the International Space Station if not as a training manual? Here's a look at some of the most space-worthy inventions being cooked up now.

Paul Harvey: If I were the Devil

Just replace “the Devil” with “a hostile extraterrestrial alien force”
and Bingo!
Alien to you, I’m sure.
You’re always in a fog, huh?
Daniel 8;
23 “In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise. 24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people. 25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
Joel 3;
9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weakling say, “I am strong!”
11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side, and assemble there. Bring down your warriors, Lord!
12 “Let the nations be roused; let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit to judge all the nations on every side.
13 Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full and the vats overflow— so great is their wickedness!”
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine.
16 The Lord will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the heavens will tremble. But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.Revelation 16;
13 Then I saw three impure spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.15 “Look, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”
16 Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. 19 The great city split into three parts, and the cities of the nations collapsed. God remembered Babylon the Great and gave her the cup filled with the wine of the fury of his wrath. 20 Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. 21 From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds,[a] fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.
Revelation 19:
19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army.
20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
As crazy as it sounds, with all the alien invasion movies and books, we are being set up to fight against God's army. It is not in our best interest. I will not do it.
With some of the stuff you write, heck yeah.
??? means I don’t know what you were talking about.
Its all pretty basic stuff, and I don’t have a short bus to take you for a ride to ‘special’ enlightenment.

Weapons to fend off aliens? If aliens wanted to terminate the human race and God would let them do it, there are sufficient astroids in our solr system to end human dominance in one day. Presume that aliens advanced enough to travel here from another star system can move space rocks around at will, and no weaponry we can develop int he next thirty years is going to match the hail of rocks the aliens can send our way. And as a hint: mutually assured destruction isn’t a credible threat we could make in the next hundred years, probably. we haven’t even found a non-terrestrial life source yet!
Sobering
Sobering ... and the greatest strategic victory so far is that he has so many scoffing at the notion that so much evil is due to his inveigling our cutlures. In fact, we hear democrats tell US almost daily that there is no such thing as evil an an entity, that evil acts are merely sickness causing behavior, and the soul that is sick is not an imprtal thing, just a behavior mechanism generated by a cellular mass, which can be made perfect someday, if enough chamicals are tested and approved.

Does anybody see the irony in that?
If extraterrestrials cross over the Rio Grand, there is no stopping them. It's elite political doctrine.
