2001-07-08 God is one of a team of space travellers who visited the earth when man was still a stone age or pre-stone age creature. Not knowing how to interpret the vast knowledge these travellers possessed, the humans fantasised that these beings were all powerful, and all knowing. Since this/these god(s) were also considered all present, shows they may have possessed the ability to travel through hyperspace or just their ability to travel extremely fast in comparison to the way humans traveled. If these beings possessed a means to scramble matter and reassemble it completely somewhere else, or if they had the ability to appear as holograms before mankind, this would explain their ability to be spiritual. There is a natural explanation for every ability these gods possessed. Mankind may even be a product of their creation. Somehow manipulating the genes of Neanderthal or something similar might have produced us. The biblical account of man being created in god's image may be based on these attempts. The book of genesis chapter 6 verse 1-4 reports that "sons of heaven" (aliens) had intercourse with the daughters of men (human women) and produced Nephilim (giants). In other words, mutants, as the genes were not completely compatible. It was soon after these Nephilim appeared that the sons of heaven were forbidden to have intercourse with the daughters of men. Maybe until the incompatibility problem could be solved, or until a future time when the human genetic structure naturally evolved to that which was closer to the aliens. Who knows, Jesus Christ himself might be a result of further experimentation. The father being an alien and the mother being the human Mary. After so many years on earth, Jesus is said to have ascended into heaven (returned to his alien homeworld) with the promise to return. I would never expect and "scientist" who spent a lifetime studying and accepting the "common" beliefs on the origins of man or our history to suddenly accept an alternate view. We as humans can never appear to be wrong. So, we stick to what we want to believe, whether it is true or not. As for religion, it is nothing more than a social club. People say they go to church to pray to their gods, but they really go to socialise with their friends and feel they are something special because they are part of a large, popular and known group. This is just my belief. I'm not trying to convert anyone to it, nor do I claim its structure is complete or true, just a theory. John Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt frei zu sein. There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they are free!
