Forgot to mention, the heavier than iron elements build up
and over time, build up enough to go unstable... a part of
the firmament RING undergoes a FISSION explosion, and the
entire RING then goes off as well... a FISSION RING explosion
that splits the star. The ONLY confirmation I could find, was what God had already
said in the scriptures. The source of creation, God, his words
confirmed the theory, not science. God had already said it
thousands of years ago, we're all way behind, vastly behind
and trying to catch up with what the creator had already said

Most people assume that Noah built the Ark. But the Book of Noah clearly suggests that the angels were its builders. Perhaps the angels mentioned therein were extra- terrestrial aliens. The record suggests that human's fear and distrust surround their efforts. Either that (or deception by their leaders) was why only eight choose to board the Ark while the rest waited in ignorance of the impending catastrophe. The Ark was large enough to carry many to safety. Selected verses from the Book of Noah (found within the Book of Enoch) are listed below. Comments possibly related to aliens are italicized.
- 65.1 And in those days, Noah saw the earth had tilted, and that its destruction was near. The position of the Earth relative to the path of the threatening comet.
- 65.6 . . . For they have learnt all the secrets of the Angels . . . and all their secret power, and all the power of those who practice magic arts, and the power of enchantments, and the power of those who cast molten images for all the earth. Molten images imply molten metals.
- 66.1 And after this, he showed me the Angels of Punishment, who were ready to come and release all the forces of the water, which is under the earth, in order to bring judgment, and destruction, on all those who reside and dwell upon the dry ground. The "power of enchantments" may be the ability to show "movies or holograms".
- 67.1 And in those days, the word of the Lord came to me, and he said to me: "Noah, behold; your lot has come up before me, a lot without reproach, a lot of love and uprightness. Telepathic alien communication with Noah?
- 67.2 And now the Angels are making a wooden structure, and when the Angels come out from that task, I will put my hand on it, and keep it safe. And a change shall take place, so that the dry ground may not remain empty. Perhaps Noah's Ark was the wooden structure made by the extra-terrestrial aliens
- 67.4 And they will shut up those Angels who showed iniquity, in that burning valley . . . in the west, near the mountains of gold and silver and iron and soft metal (aluminum?) and tin.
- 67.5 And I saw that valley, in which there was a great disturbance, and a heaving of the waters.
- 67.6 And when all this happened, from the fiery molten metal, and the disturbance, which disturbed the waters in that place, a smell of sulfur (smelting?) was produced, and it was associated with those waters. And that valley of the Angels, who led men astray, burns under the ground (humans' distrust or fear of the Angels (aliens)?).
- 67.7 And through the valleys of that same area, flow out rivers of fire, where those Angels will be punished, who led astray those on the dry ground perhaps the aliens came from under the water.
In a passage from the book of Noah, there's an explicit reference to the angels who "infringed the word of the Lord, the law of the sky". This tale, just before the Flood, is confirmed by the Dead Sea srolls. The story describes the fall of 200 angels, called Vigilants, who came down on Mount Hermon (north of Palestine). A Vigilant called Azazel taught men how to build weapons & armor and how to manipulate metals. Other Vigilants taught magical arts like clouds, meteorology, signs of Earth and astronomy. Peneum, another Vigilant, taught the use of spices in the food and also ink and paper. The Vigilants specifically are cited as those who introduced (cuneiform) writing.
The Nommos aliens from the Sirius star system, reportedly visited Earth at the time of Noah's Flood. Thus, they may have been the angels who built the Ark. Sirius is in the proper galactic region to support sentient life. The U.S. Naval Observatory claims that planetary orbits in thezone are unstable. An Earth-type planet could contain liquid water about from 300 million years old Sirius A. But simulations suggest stable orbits exist at circumstellar distances around both stars up to more than half the binary's closest separation (8.1 AU).

Was Adam's "fall" part of God's plan?
by dorayakii inthe watchtower society and many other fundamentalist christian faiths believe that god is omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenevolent.
in other words he is almighty /all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good.
his omnibenelovence though, clashes with his omnipotence in that if he is powerful enough to change the human condition, and he is willing to do it, why does he permit suffering?...

Obviously, god and his sons are aliens, earth is
a mere farming planet to them. They seem to have left.
Unfortunately, they took their magic trees with them.
However, fortunately, we will soon have the full
genetic makeup of man known to us, and we will be able
to find out what genes God meddled with to keep
us shortlived, and we will be able to find out what
engineered materials the magic trees of the gods gave
us to allow eternal life and vastly enhanced mental
abilities.
Obviously, we are still in the crippled mode, slave mode
of god and his sons, they did not want rivals, they
did not want long lived geniuses, they wanted stoop labor
sex slaves and little more.
Possibly then, to explain their failure, and thus
their absence, they themselves were not more than
formen, themselves limited by even more advanced aliens.
The failure of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam was the failure
to remeber these things or realize what these verses really obviously
men.
These religions, played games, my god is bigger than your god,
ever inflating what they believed was god, until god has
become a big phantom, impossible, we have paradoxes of the
problem of evil, the problem of ominscience vs free will, ect.
But the world is natural, physics rules, not phantoms,
and science was what god used to rule this planet, and us,
biochemistry to be exact.
There will come a time, where we will again, live forever,
either recreating the tree of life and its genetically engineered
fruit, or by creating yeast cells that give us the stuff of
life immortal, or more directly incorporating purpose built
artifical genes that will makes us gods again.
We will all be geniuses, we will all be able to learn
any subject with ease, like the savants that seem
to be on a first name basis with numbers, the effortless
artist, the musician who creates as easily as he or she breathes,
the talented engineer.
Here is the real religion of the Bible, only the Toh'marekah can rightfully claim to understand the Bible,
only the Toh'marekah can understand, immorality and the universe
are ours, the gods are not our friends, and that we have been
enslaved, crippled and abused long enough. -

whats reasonable to note on biblical aliens
by Franz inthere are many types (group) of aliens (and their ufos) , 4 at least .
they (2 types at least) live here (on earth) , by god's permission , long before we are here
1 (at least) type of alien is extra-terestrial by origin

- There are many types (group) of Aliens (and their UFOs) , 4 at least .
- They (2 types at least) live here (on earth) , by God's permission , long before we are here
- 1 (at least) type of Alien is extra-terestrial by origin
- 1 (at least) type of Alien tends to "cheat" us to gain control on mankind
- They tend to use Historical and Religious occasions to gain our confidance
- They have the ability to perform visibility / invisibility and (some types) to shape-shift
- They (2 types at least) are more likely "extra-dimensional" than "extra-terestrial"
- Bad "influenced" Aliens are not much of a threat to us , unless we are willing to be their "followers"
There are many other facts and limitations of UFO / ET / Alien not mentioned here , but all those are within GOD's rules . Explainable and understandable , for those who are willing to thin. A little bit complex to understand without knowing the whole basic concept of GOD and universe , again , scientifically .
Science without knowledge in God , will be dangerous . Religion (believe and faith in God) without knowledge and science , will be static (just like plants). Mankind are not made of "sophisticated" matters phisically (compare to Aliens). All those phenomenas are stated and explained in Islam , some are clearly stated and explained by God through The Holly Quran , evidance written in The Holly Bible , etc . The more we know about Aliens existance , the more we will understand the real truth on the universe and GOD . Our God (one and the only) is not just a definitive God , HA'Re'kesh-halah.

Ezekiel 1:4 (NIV)
I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north--an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal
Blumrich summary:
The spacecraft begins at some distance from the prophet in its initial descent. Vapour cloud is from cooling preliminary to firing of rocket engine. Rocket engine is then fired.Ezekiel 1:5 (NIV)
and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man
Blumrich summary:
Looking upward, the prophet sees four shapes surrounded by fire and vapour that look alive. These are helicopter-like bodies deployed before landing.Ezekiel 1:6 (NIV)
but each of them had four faces and four wings.Blumrich summary:
The prophet is now able to see more detail because the craft is at low altitude. He sees the four blades of the rotors and the fairing housings above the rotors that give the appearance of faces.Ezekiel 1:7 (NIV)
Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.Blumrich summary:
This is a description of the landing legs. The legs have shock absorbers and round footpads.Ezekiel 1:8 (NIV)
Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings,Blumrich summary:
This refers to remote-controlled mechanical arms hanging along side the cylindrical helicopter bodies.Ezekiel 1:9 (NIV)
and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.Blumrich summary:
A reference to the helicopter blades protruding outward is made.Ezekiel 1:10 (NIV)
Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.Blumrich summary:
The fairing surfaces, which protect the gears and other control devices above the rotors, look to the prophet like faces. The fairings are irregular in shape with some raised and some cut out areas, all of which lends itself to an awe-struck interpretation on the prophet's part. By way of example, Blumrich shows photos of Gemini and Apollo capsules that at certain angles look like monsters. Because like faces face in like directions, we see that the rotors are synchronized at rest position.Ezekiel 1:11 (NIV)
Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.Blumrich summary:
The first part refers to the rotor blades being divided. The suggestion is that there is a kind of gap in the control mechanism or fairing. The last part of the verse refers to the rotor blades folded in an up and down position.Ezekiel 1:12 (NIV)
Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went.Blumrich summary:
This refers to the landing leg assembly and the retractable wheels as part of each leg assembly. Ezekiel doesn't see the wheels until they are actually deployed in verse fifteen. Verses nine, twelve and fifteen are interrelated.Ezekiel 1:13 (NIV)
The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.Blumrich summary:
Ezekiel is referring to the flowing reactor radiator and the bursts from the control rockets. The lightning effect comes from what would seem like leaping random fire but in fact is controlled bursts from the various control rockets for stabilization purposes.Ezekiel 1:14 (NIV)
The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.Blumrich summary:
The spacecraft hovers and moves in various directions until a suitable landing site is found.Ezekiel 1:15 (NIV)
As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature with its four faces.Blumrich summary:
The wheels are deployed. They appear at the very moment they become necessary.Ezekiel 1:16-21 (NIV)
This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not turn about as the creatures went. Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around. When the living creatures moved, the wheels beside them moved; and when the living creatures rose from the ground, the wheels also rose. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, and the wheels would rise along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When the creatures moved, they also moved; when the creatures stood still, they also stood still; and when the creatures rose from the ground, the wheels rose along with them, because the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.Blumrich summary:
The greenish-bluish color of the wheels suggests a protective film or coating. A further description of advanced reversible wheels is given. Ezekiel is confused - looks to him like a wheel within a wheel. These wheels look like they are obeying orders. He has had experience with wheels but these are puzzling. Thus he gives much time to their description. The craft rolls on the ground, probably in a maneuver to find the most suitable site.Ezekiel 1:22 (NIV)
Spread out above the heads of the living creatures was what looked like an expanse, sparkling like ice, and awesome.Blumrich summary:
Here is a description of the main body of the craft. We get its basic shape, spreading out like a "firmament." The surface of the main body is metallic, shining, bright.Ezekiel 1:23 (NIV)
Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body.Blumrich summary:
We are given additional information concerning the position of the helicopter-like appendages relative to the main body. Rotor blades are at rest.Ezekiel 1:24-25 (NIV)
When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings. Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings.Blumrich summary:
Blumrich feels these verses are out of order. They describe operating rotor blade motors and the resultant sound effects.Ezekiel 1:26 (NIV)
Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.Blumrich summary:
The prophet sees the command module shaped and colored like a cabachon-cut sapphire. Seated in the pilot's seat is a man.Ezekiel 1:27 (NIV)
I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him.Blumrich summary:
The prophet describes the light effects of the commander's flight suit which, in Blumrich's opinion, are reminiscent of the light effects caused by the reflecting surfaces of certain insulation materials used in the Apollo lunar module. (See Rev 1:12-15 and Dan 10:6) It might be enlightening here to mention the light effects, especially the golden glow effect, described by some present-day witnesses to UFO close encounters, people who have been in near proximity to UFO crew members. A classic example of such an effect would be the Fatima incident earlier in the century. An interesting explanation of this effect is offered by an extraterrestrial in Charles Silva's "Date With The Gods."Ezekiel 1:28 (NIV)
Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.Blumrich summary:
Here are the optical light effects of the translucent cabachon-shaped command module sitting atop the main body of the spacecraft. Sunlight hitting the translucent surface and reflecting off other surfaces inside the module causes a rainbow light effect. (See Enoch 14:9-22 and Rev 4:3) Blumrich emphasizes that the brightness was "round about him." It did not emanate from "him." Him, we should carefully note, refers to Ezekiel's initial mistake of identity - confusing the spacecraft with God himself. -

- "God's civilization protects the 'chosen nation' from Egyptians. Did aliens use antigravitation devices to create a safe passage in the sea ?
- "The Judgment Day is coming. Are the aliens to intervene ?"
When you talk about God and all the miracles in the Bible nobody questions it. Millions of people, including top government officials and known scientists are taking the bible as the absolute Truth, even if there is absolutely no proof to present their thesis. One can even say the whole western civilization is based on values from the Bible.
If one starts talking about aliens, UFO, abductions and points to the Bible as the first written contact with alien civilization (called GOD), most people would think he/she must me totally crazy. There are thousands of UFO encounters in the world today, there are written testimonies. Thousands of people claim to be abducted by aliens, still most of the society today think those people are just crazy.
The interpretation of the Bible as the written contact with the alien civilization would make most of the people think it is a total absurd. Even if it explains logically all the supernatural forces in the bible as just an advanced technology. Why people who claim to be the smartest people on Earth tend to believe in unexplained (Christian religion) and would defend those believes without having any proof whatsoever, but turn their back against the logical explanation of Bible facts ?
The reason is simple, the Christian religion and Catholic Church changed our way of thinking by hundreds of years of brainwashing. We can not think independently anymore. I do not have to remain you that if I would write those words few hundreds years ago I would be burn publicly by the Church and nobody would be allowed to mention my name again. This is why we think through the image in our mind and can not accept the inquiry.
There is a striking similarity between the Bible language and a possible alien encounter. Thousands years ago human did not know about spaceships, computers and aliens. The did not even know there are other planets in our solar system or that our planet is a sphere. Those primitive barbarians would certainly have no way to describe a possible alien encounter other way than that they see some kind of God. Their language did not have all those modern terms. Hover we should be aware of the fact that in the English King James translation of the Bible heaven means really "sky". So if we read "The God came from the heaven" we should translate "The God's civilization came from the sky".
I suspect that our governments including Vatican, they are aware of those alien entities. There would be few reasons why they would not want to reveal this to the public opinion:
1) It would destroy the system beliefs of many religions. The whole base of our civilization would collapse. Who can predict the effects of such a revelation?
2) It would create chaos in the world, people would do riots and behave antisocially.
3) Each particular government wants to obtain alien technology from aliens in secrecy in order to dominate militarily other nations.
Obviously to keep the secrecy the government would try to discredit anybody who presents the evidence of those alien beings or even a theory.
Bible code
R ecently the book has been published "The Bible code 2 - the Final Countdown". In this book the author Michael Drosin investigates code in the bible, discovered by a brilliant mathematician Dr. Eliyahu Rips., one of the world's leading experts in group theory, which underlines quantum physics. Based on Dr. Rips research it appears there is a hidden code in the bible. He even published an article in a major science journal, which has been met with a criticism, however no fault in his logic has been found. The code reveals all the Past, Present and the Future of all human kind. All major events has been coded, including World War I, II and III; Oklahoma City Bombing, World Trade Center Bombing; Watergate; Sept. 11 attack and more. Who put it there and for what purpose ? I believe the aliens did, the God civilization.
It points out how advanced this civilization is that they are able to see though time. It appears that the bible code was some kind of time lock, similar to the one in the movie Space Odyssey 2001 by Arthur Clark. It was only possible to to open it when the human kind reaches the computer age. In his book "Are We Alone ?" the Australian physicist Paul Davies imagines an artifact left by aliens - "programmed to manifest itself only when civilization on Earth crossed a certain threshold of advancement. Such a device - in effect, an extraterrestrial time capsule - could store vast amounts of important information for us." Is the bible code such a device ? the code appears to us like a very sophisticated multi dimensional computer program written on the stone blocks ! What kind of race is capable of inventing such a thing ? Are their our creator ? According to the bible, yes.
The astronomer Carl Sagan stated that if there is other intelligent life in the universe, some of it would develop much earlier then we did. I would have thousands of years more to develop the advanced technology we just beginning to explore. Sagan wrote: "What is for us technologically difficult or impossible, what might seem to us like a magic, might for them be trivially easy". Is he referring to the God civilization described in the bible ?
Most of us is familiar with work of Dr Erick Danicken, a remarkable scientist researching the past involvement of alien civilizations with the development of our civilization.
It is worth mentioning that Isaak Newten, the founder of modern physics, spent most of his live searching for the hidden code in the bible. Obviously there were no computers at the time he lived in, so his search was doomed to be unsuccessful.
DNA
I n his book Drosin suggests that according to the newest research the bible code is very similar to the DNA code. Is it possible that DNA come from cosmos and our planet has been seeded by life ? Did God civilization do it ? In 1973 Francis Crick, famous molecular biologist who discovered structure of DNA, releases a theory called Pansperia. In this theory Crick stated that our DNA was intentionally sent to Earth in a "spaceship" and that "all life on Earth represents a clone derided from A single extraterrestrial organism". His thesis are based on the pure scientific research. It states:
"The spaceship would carry large samples of a number of microorganisms, each having different but simple nutritional requirements, for example, blue-green algae, which could grow on CO2 and water in "sunlight". A payload of 1,000 kg might be made up of 10 samples each containing 1016 microorganisms, or 100 samples of 1015 microorganisms. "
and
"...Several orthodox explanations of the universality of the code can be suggested, but none is generally accepted to be completely convincing. It is a little surprising that organisms with somewhat different codes do not coexist. The universality of the code follows naturally from an "infective" theory of the origin of life. Life on Earth would represent a clone derived from a single set of organisms... ".
As evidence, Crick suggested two things:
1) "The genetic code is identical in all living things"
2) "The earliest organisms appear suddenly, without any sign of more simple precursors here on Earth."
Actually it states very clearly in the plain text of the bible, in Genesis, where civilization of God tells (telepathically ?) Abraham:
"I will bless thee greatly, and I will greatly multiply thy seed as the stars of Heaven, and the sand that is upon the seashore; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the world be blessed"
Apparently "seed" refers to DNA code. Drosnin found that the above text contains hidden code: "DNA was brought in a vehicle", "Your seed" and "In a vehicle your seed" are all encoded there.
Ather keywords are encoded together: "DNA spiral", "From a code" and "in Adam the model, template". That is not all, "Genetic code", "His gene you will inherit" and "To Advance man" are all encoded there as well.
In the Bible it says that the God civilization created a man in his image. Are we the descendents of some ancient alien race ?
What about Jesus Christ ? Was he a hybrid between alien and a human ? Since his mother Maria was a virgin, the only logical explanation can be that she was abducted by aliens, The holy spirit came to her as light, and she was taken aboard an alien vessel. She has been injected with an alien sperm in order to create a great human being - Jesus Christ, half man, half alien. That would also explain his extraordinary spiritual development and his supernatural powers. We all may have those, it just needs to be unlocked. What if the aliens (God) purposely blocked it, so we can not harm each other.
Today many alien abductees claim that they were taken aboard the vehicle by the light and some sort of medical experiments were performed on them. It is a striking similarity here. Many of those people claim that some sort of breeding has been done in order to create a human-alien hybrid. Is this a new experiment done in order to create a new coming "Messiah" ?
One may ask, if those aliens are still here, why they do not reveal themselves. It states in the Bible that God civilization gave human a free will. They do not want to dictate their will upon us. Maybe they just want us to develop our self on our own, so we can choose our own path ? That would make a lot of sense, this way we would be able to develop technologies the God civilization would benefit from. Maybe this old civilization needs somebody like us, with a "fresh" look. Maybe their advancement is some kind of obstacle not allowing them to see things the way we do. Maybe they need our "stupidity" for some reason.
