Before I say anything, I must explain something about myself. When I talk to people about trivial things, I tend to talk with the same attitude background as they do. For example, when I talk to jar, I will assume that the universe and the Earth are billions of years old. When I talk to a christian, I will assume that god created everything. When I talk to a christian creationist, I will assume that god created everything 6 thousand years ago.
With that said, the bible never really mentioned anything extraterrestrial other than angels and demons. If there are indeed UFO's or technologically advance alien races out there, we have to assume that they were not at the center of creation and that they are either angels or demons. Anything we can learn about them will have to be done through actual contact and communication.

I noticed how no one has really entertained the idea of UFO's and read and experienced the links I have provided. This is classical evolutionary thought: If it sounds impossible, it is. Give no credence to that which is supernatural, etc.
Let me be frank. The reason most of us do not persue the so-called UFO phenomenon is because it's a dead-end road to take, just like ID. Here is why, and I'll explain it in a couple sentences or so.
So, let us assume that these flying saucers (aka UFO's) are indeed alien crafts and the fact that these aliens have not simply landed somewhere with a lot of people and say "I come in peace" or some other greetings should tell us that they are sufficiently advance enough to avoid detection by our current technology. Now what?
Assuming that these are alien crafts (when I say alien, I mean extraterrestrial intelligence), how does it help us to advance our knowledge by assuming it without anything else to go on beside blurry images and incredible abduction and anal probing stories?
The scientific approach to this phenomenon, like any other phenomenon, is to scrutinize it and see if it stands up against proper scrutiny.
Please leave your religion at the door on this topic and focus on the implications of the parameters set forth.
Ok, if you insist that we leave our "religion" at the door, perhaps you should do the same? How do you know these "beings" are angelic and perfect in nature?

Guys, my troll-meter is and has been for sometime now pointing at the red area. Please stop feeding the troll.
