Am I alone in thinking this way?

Question

Ok, so maybe I am when it comes to Yahoo answers. But has anyone else ever thought that maybe the Aliens are who started the majority of religions we know today? Here is just one video for reference that I have seen on Youtube.

Answer 1

Yeah, it has crossed my mind......but...nah!
I enjoyed the video, though.

Answer 2

No it was not Aliens that started us. but when you look at pictures like the video at the youtube you need to understand that the writing you see there are the way in which they depected there race, try drawing on a rock sometime and then you may have a better understanding of why these picture and drawing look the way they do. Too many of the head dress you see is just that, it is all the feather's that they wore and more......

A Biblical Perspective on Mankind, the Universe, and the Gospel
Do aliens fit in there?

A. The Bible teaches that Mankind and the Earth are unique

1) Implied Uniqueness: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" [Genesis 1:1]. It does NOT say, "In the beginning God created the heavens including the earth." In fact, the Bible separates the earth as not part of "the heavens", because it is unique in God's creative and redemptive plan. Here in the creation account, the Bible sets the earth apart as special versus all of the rest of creation.
2) Stated Uniqueness of intelligent life on earth:

a) "The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth he has given to man." [Psalm 115:16]
b) "[God] created the heavens...he fashioned and made the earth, He founded it [the earth] He did not create it [the earth] to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited" [Isaiah 45:18]
c) Eve is the mother of all the living [Genesis 3:20]

B. The purpose of the stars, sun, and moon, and other planets [click here for more details]

"The Bible says that the stars, sun, moon, and planets were created for us---they have a purpose---they did not randomly evolve"

1) To serve as signs to mark the seasons, days, and years [Genesis 1:14] for life here on earth
2) To give light upon the earth [Genesis 1:15, 17]
3) To "govern" the day and the night [Genesis 1:18]--to provide consistent markers, giving order to creation
4) To separate light from darkness [Genesis 1:18]--to show visually here on earth, the distinction between the two
5) To declare the glory of God [Psalm 19:1-6]
6) To cause us to praise Him [Psalm 136:3-9]
7) To reveal His attributes to mankind, and to draw mankind to call upon Him [Romans 1:20; 10:18]

Answer 3

Well i dont know about religion but yeah its possible that the "Alien" race has started most of the culture we know about. Its very unlikely that in the entire universe we are the only life form out there. There have been theroies about some poeple living today who are to be of alien decent. Who knows for sure tho.

Answer 4

Yes, actually I do:

Answer 5

yes, i believe outside forces corrupted certain features of our earth. not aliens, though. Nephilim. they are in the book of Genesis in the Bible, yet they get no recognition. fallen angels who corrupted humans and caused them to create all sorts of reliegions and cults.

Answer 6

we might be the insane asylum for the universe as this planet may be where all the deviants are sent and this is where we get the idea of the garden of Eden from

Answer 7

There are many ideas as to our origins. But I am sure that it is in our genetic code to need to believe someone higher or bigger than us is in charge.

To believe we are the only intelligent being in existence is being presumptuous.

Answer 8

yes i sometimes wonder to... as im not majorely religious im not quite sure what to believe in god and jesus or the other gods we here of like athena or believe there are none
