UFOlogy: The World’s Fastest-Growing ‘Scientific’ Religion?
PatriotandLiberty Blog ^ | Mar 2023 | Gary Bates and Lita Sanders

Posted on 03/27/2023 2:12:57 AM PDT by spirited irish

Many people wonder why we write about the UFO phenomenon. Isn’t it just a ‘side issue’? But in fact, it’s so important to oppose this particular belief, because ET belief is quickly becoming the world’s most scientifically acceptable false religion and a major stumbling block to Christianity. And although some of its adherents are serious followers, the reality is, that polls show that belief in UFOs is mainstream and held by the average ‘Joe’ in the street.

“OFOlogy” won’t exist as a science until we can get one of those green aliens into a laboratory and poke some sticks at it.

There is justifiable resistance from scientists to study an area known only from anecdotal accounts, but the UFO "field" now has plenty of sensor and other evidence.

Prof. Garry Nolan of Stanford Medical is probably leading the field which has now become dominated by scientists.

That said, it isn't about "extraterrestrials." Frankly, I don't think anyone knows what the hell it is. It appears to be interdimensional...and it seems that the UFOs themselves may be only a very small part of the issue. Some say the UFOs may be a feint or facade.

As someone peering in through an outside window, my take lately is that this whole phenomenon has a very paranormal aspect. Too paranormal for my liking. Hence the subject of this thread re: it becoming a kind of religion.

One point I would add is that I am very distrustful of people from the religious community regarding this issue of "UFOs." Not that they aren't well-meaning and sincere, but they have biases that cloud their judgment.

I'm not saying that the UFO issue doesn't fit within the Biblical narrative--I believe it does. But different denominations each have very fixed ideas about what the Bible says and their minds are often slammed shut tightly to differing interpretations and POVs.

Just as politics and science don't mix. Religion with a strong bias and science don't mix.

As we all know, the empirical and clinical analysis of ANYTHING is derailed by any kind of preconceived bias on the part of those people performing such analysis.

I hear all kinds of theories and speculation, and any one of them is contradictory to some other. There may be observational evidence, but none that is subject to repeatable testing. Hense the “field” is full of fakers and crackpots making the whole field unreliable. It wanders frequently into the paranormal, or even the supernatural. They are any number of things from demons, interdimensional aliens, interstellar aliens, evolved humans from the future, secret government projects, etc. The funny thing is that while people claim to see them all the time, they also choose to remain hidden and secretive, as though they can’t make up their minds. Unless they don’t exist at all. I’ve seen one myself, however, so I can’t be sure of anything.

I totally disagree... Climatology is the fastest growing ‘scientific’ religion... And both UFOlogy and Climatology are closely related to astrology... Another phony science.

Phony science is full of cultist and nutjobs.

Commandment #1

Thou shalt not present any clear image of any UFO/AAP in the heavens or on the earth.

Here's an example of where religious people go wrong with regard to their biases (You can see the bias in this quote from the subject article.):
Our view that God did not create life on other planets has even made us relatively unpopular among Christian friends. However, as this issue affects the veracity of God’s Word, and is indeed, a salvation issue, we have been careful; drawing a strong, exegetical and historical picture from the Bible.

There is considerable disagreement about whether or not the Bible leaves room for the existence of beings from other physical locations in our universe. But this author starts from the position that "our view is that..." and then quickly moves to a position that not accepting his "view" is at odds with the "veracity" of the Bible.

Many (if not most) religious authorities (of all denominations) will tell you that this or that is not possible and then point to their own personal "interpretation" of the Bible as support for their conclusion.

Many religious authorities have no training whatsoever in anything and certainly not in the application of logic. They apparently don't even see that their approach is pre-loaded with bias.

It is safe to say that the fastest growing religion is "New Age Religion" which includes climate (GAIA/Gaianism), UFOs, the occult, LGBTQ, Marxism, transhumanism, Satanism, and soon probably even AI."

Actually it isn't new. It is just Paganism.

Let’s say “they” show up. Listen to the religion they preach and I bet it will be Satan’s universal, vague religion. The Lord Jesus Christ will be either parodied or omitted entirely. The multitude are sitting ducks for such an appearing, as they have already rejected the “truth that is in Jesus” (Eph. 4:21).

Good points but pure stupidity seems to be be even higher on the religious side because a majority of people are possessed.

Right. In the massive number of accounts of alien abductees, I have heard of many communications about the nature of existence and origin of humans...and even MANY prophecies. But I have never heard of a single--not one--mention of Jesus as the Son of God.

BTW, Whitley Strieber (of "Communion" fame) has written a new book entitled "Jesus, A New Vision" which he claims was revealed to him by the "beings" now deeply involved in his life. In this new book, he speaks of the wonderful and powerful influence of Jesus on the world...and then points out that Jesus was just a man and in no way divine.

That is reasonable. It's difficult to take anybody seriously when they proclaim UFOs and "aliens" are definitely this, or that. If a person is nuts, how does that person discern that they are in fact nuts and not just seeing things? And if there truly is/are beings of superior intellect and abilities, determining their origins and motives is going to be nearly impossible if they don't want you to know.

Full disclosure, I have seen two flying objects which appeared solid, one a broad daylight disc at less than 2,000 ft. (basing on low level, fair weather cumulus cloud that it disappeared into and never emerged from) and another night time oval with structures (est. 20 ft in diameter) rise up out of the hollow below and fly overhead. Neither one displayed the characteristics of an aircraft or balloon.

What were they? No idea.

Pure stupidity is just as high on the scientific side. Always has been.

Human beings are stupid because they quickly jump to the conclusion that they know what is going on...and then they close their minds.

A perfect example of this is Lord Kelvin back in the 1800's. Brilliant mathematician/physicist, past president of the Royal Society of London, winner of the Copley Medal (arguably the highest British award for scientific achievement).

Here are a couple of his outstanding quotes:

There is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains is more and more precise measurement.

Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.

Ufology is not, or at least, doesn’t have to be a religion. Our God created the Universe and all that’s in it. It is a duality Universe, which means good and evil exists throughout. I suppose some may think ufology is a religion simply because it remains shouded in ‘mystery,’ as just another secret our government keeps from us. However, individuals’ searching for the truth are not then turned into ufology religious worshippers. We are not so nieve as to fail to understand why the government keeps aliens under wraps - they want us to think they, the government, is our God, all powerful and in control of everything. However, this illusion, which they MUST perpetuate, would be shattered if aliens would arrive on the scene. Our belief in a Supreme Creator would not suddenly evaporate simply because aliens presented themselves. It’s the same now where we know our salvation doesn’t hinge on government, rulers and principalities. The faithful who believe in the One Triune God know otherwise. We are not about to fall on our knees and worship sick pscho politicians, aliens, idols or anything else for that matter, other than the one true God Almighty.

The biblical “war in heaven” after which Lucifer/Satan was cast down to/into the earth, the earth where Lucifer/Satan continues to make war with G-d for humanity’s souls, makes for no case for or against sentient Life on other worlds. That the bible does not speak about that case neither confirms nor denies it. It’s just left out.

Maybe Einstein was wrong.
Meaning that you can travel faster than the speed of light/time.

I just watched a Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Spotify over the weekend from about two weeks ago with Eric Weinstein:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vn7Hmq8pqs

The above is just a clip. The whole podcast is on Spotify.
Weinstein points out that the concepts of physics ceased when Einstein came up with his theories. It became settle science, which is wrong.
That the objects we call UFOs or UFPs now move beyond our concepts of physics that we do not understand. That somehow these objects defy gravity in ways that we do not understand.

I remember fifty years ago when book stores had an “Occult” isle of books.

A few years later it was labeled as “New Age”

Now they are listed as “personal-Imporvement” or something similar.

But they still have the same old books on occultism and witchcraft.
