The Bible, whatever religion you are is an old book.
There are, i believe, around 2000 incidents within it stating lights from the sky coming down, vehicles from heaven landing, the occupents getting out, the list goes on and on, not to mention Jesus ascending into the sky in a beam of light.
What are your opinions ?
Open minded ? or prefer dogma ? What do you think ?

To the answerers >
I call a 30 year old idea relatively new in respect of a 3000 year old book (Genesis for one).
To the pastor's neice i get my evidence from the Bible. You are free to check, but try to read for yourself not at the time of reading thinking what other people have told you it says.
A few more examples....
The wise men being led to the stable by a light in the sky after each of them had a vision ( from memory they had a vision).
Moses going up the mountain into the clouds where a huge bright light was, then he spoke to a being and was given laws by which men were to live by ( Commandments)
Saul / Paul seeing a blinding light which spoke to him on the road to Damascus.
More tomorow.

I'm in total agreement with you. And it doesn't begin or end with the Bible, either....All through various religious texts are these references to beings from the sky...The oldest known creation story, the ENUMA ELISH (Sumerian) reads like Star Wars if you look at it the Right way...No, man, you're 100% on the money...What's more is that I feel our government has known about our "unseen visitors" for a lot of years and just refuses to come clean about it (check out "the Brookings Report"-esp the last 2-3 pages!!! You won't believe what you find!!).

Well first of all it is not a new idea,it is absolute fact.Also it is not only the Bible every ancient text written has Gods coming from the sky.the most talked about book today the Koran, with the
white horse with woman's face that took Muhammad to heaven was also a U.F.O.

1) the Idea is over thirty yrs old, thus it is not new.
2) the bible is not the only ancient text to record such encounters.
3) consider this, that to a stone aged tribe encountering a modern man with a radio, laptop, camera, flashlight, and/or lighter, in their minds that modern man is a god or god like creature.
I'm not saying that our creator is an alien, but that aliens have been here since before any written language, so it is no surprise that alien encounters would be in the bible.

It think visitors explains a lot of it very well...
You know the part where they mentioned that the "angels" cam down from heaven and started taking human females as wives and then had violent , giants for children? Then god said that this was wrong and the "angels" took their half breed children and left.
It also explains how may got pregnant without sex.

I believe there is a god, but I don't accept the bible.
I believe there are other races alive in the universe, but I don't believe they are visiting us.
Now having said that, I must say this. Ezekiel's description of the lights in the sky definitely sounds like a classic UFO sighting.

Heck yes! Why can't we believe in it? Does it really say somewhere in the Bible you can't? Deep down I do believe Jesus is an alien, that's why he converted so many of us in to zombies! lol. Not saying all Christians I know are zombies, just some of the really gunho ones that will rip out your flesh and eat it if you don't agree with them. Anyways, yay, aliens! I just hope never to encounter a disgruntled, proby, wormy parasite kind.

The bible is a great novel.
How factual it is, is questionable.
There are to many things written that can be confusing, such as the lights, dinosaurs not mentioned, and so on.
Good luck.
