...so we're watching the history channel special entitled "An Alien History of Planet Earth" and Jordan is eating it up like it's the gospel. Of course, this is the kid who's favorite thing to do is draw aliens, and when asked to draw something God made in Sunday school draws a picture of a being with a huge head and big, round eyes. Marie comes home from work, and he says "It's true, it's true Mom, there really are aliens! It's on the history channel, and what is history? It's stuff that's true." Nuff said.

We were watching this ourselves the other night. Another favorite is the History Channel's take on "Aliens in the Bible" - which means Ezekiel 1 & any other interaction with an angel (or ET's as referred to in the show)

My kids & I love to watch it, then have great discussions about God intersecting humanities lives. What always comes is the reality that people are willing to attach themselves to any other supernatural explanation than one of an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God.

You guys don't live anywhere near a cornfield or a swamp. How is it that Jordan believes in aliens?

Here you go, Shawn. You and Jordan can have a nice father-son discussion with these scriptures.

Genesis 23:4
"I am an alien and a stranger among you.

Exodus 12:49
The same law applies to the native-born and to the alien living among you."

Leviticus 19:33
When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him.

Deut. 10:18
He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing.

Psalm 81:9
You shall have no foreign god among you; you shall not bow down to an alien god.

Jeremiah 3:13
Only acknowledge your iniquity,
That you have transgressed against the Lord your God,
And have scattered your charms
To alien deities under every green tree,
And you have not obeyed My voice,' says the Lord.


Who says the Bible does not talk about aliens?

in their defense, scoey, i would like to point out that by literal definition angels would be "aliens" and "extraterrestrial" - so there you go.

you guys all rock, thanks for the responses. Marie was a little upset about his adamant defense of ET's, but hey, it's pretty much the same as believing in Santa or any other creature at age 6, right? I especially like Louie's discussion idea with the kids. Besides, truth is stranger than fiction, even science-fiction. It does amaze me how much us humans love to believe a lie though. Someone once said that tradition is stronger than truth. Whether tradition or science-fiction, we're all suckers for a good con.

Yeah, how many album covers can you make with a guitar in the shape of a spaceship? I don't know. Ask Boston, and then ask those hacks in Petra who copied them.
