To begin with, I never thought that I would live to see the day when I am posting about UFO stuff. It isn’t that I’m shocked by it, it’s just that the UFO business isn’t really the kind of things I write about. In fact, I usually avoid the whole genre of strange, unusual or conspiratorial. Yet with that said, I might be more open to those subjects than one might guess. I nearly always strive to keep an open mind, but if you are asserting something like this, you had better be able to back it up with actual evidence, and not opinions that are based on opinions.

Since President Trump has caused a release of material about UFOs, the conversation has really picked up on the subject, and in some Christian circles, it takes a more serious tone that it might elsewhere. The other day, I even listened to a news report that government officials have been reaching out to Christian leaders advising them on what they should say on the subject, and that one has my attention. I don’t say this because I’m afraid that there might be truth in UFO claims, let’s be clear on that point. My concern is this: It might be a good idea for officials to give major religious leaders a heads up on what could be coming out; a factual and accurate heads up is a good thing… but that is as far as it goes. Beyond that, I highly doubt that government officials are qualified to conduct a theological analysis of the subject, in fact, I kind of doubt that most clerics are qualified for that, and that analysis is what the people will need help and guidance on.

Over recent decades there has been concern in government circles about the way that the general public might react if they suddenly learned that we are not alone in the universe; that is the reason that has often been given for secrecy about UFOs. Some have speculated that people of faith would totally freak if that came out because it would “prove” that their faith is false. I can’t help pointing out here, that such a thought must come from a non-Christian because a Christian should be fully aware that the Bible does not say that we are God’s only creation or that the earth is the only inhabited planet; those are the assumptions of people and groups, not statements or claims from Scripture.

I understand that more material will be released soon, and we’ll see what it contains; maybe there will be hard proof, maybe not. Either way, God is still in control of the universe, and we are still co-heirs with Christ to everything.

Who knows? Maybe we will learn that God’s Creation is even more amazing than we ever knew before.
