John Glenn and the Extraterrestrials

Amid the pop stars and icons of last year, a true American hero died. John Glenn died at the ripe old age of 95, having lived a full and adventurous life. He got his first taste of flying when he was only eight. He flew a total of 149 combat missions during World War II…

Christians Will Colonize the Cosmos!

Fellow Christian author E. Stephen Burnet has written a thought provoking post over at SpeculativeFaith.com, entitled Will Christians Colonize the Cosmos?  He correctly notes that Christian objections to the idea that we will colonize space center on our eschatology. Basically, our End Times theology has resulted in a geocentric futurology: we don’t think we’ll get far…

Why the Search for Exoplanets Should Be Encouraged

The news of several Earth-sized planets orbiting a small, dim star called TRAPPIST-1 fell like a bombshell this past few days. The announcement was well orchestrated, complete with a 360 image of an exoplanet’s surface,  a more mundane image of the same, a little video, and even a travel poster. It was admittedly overkill, but…

Why Isaiah 45:18 Says Nothing About Aliens

It’s one of the most cited verses amongst those touting anti-alien dogma. Just a couple days ago during an Answers News segment with Ken Ham, Bodie Hodge quoted it to claim that aliens were impossible. So how does this verse allegedly make the possibility of extraterrestrial life impossible? Isaiah 45:18 reads: For thus saith the LORD that…

A Deconstruction of the Trailer for Gary Bates’ Forthcoming Alien Intrusion Film

With the film version of Gary Bates’ Amazon bestseller Alien Intrusion due to come out in December 2017, we thought we’d take a look at the trailer to see what we can expect in the finished product. I make no bones about the fact that I am not a fan of Alien Intrusion‘s message of fallen angels…

ET & the Evolution Connection?

In his Amazon bestseller Alien Intrusion: UFOs and the Evolution Connection, Gary Bates tries to make an intrinsic connection between a belief in extraterrestrial life and the theory of microbes-to-man evolution. The implication is that a belief in the possibility of alien life is the result of an evolutionary worldview rather than a Biblical worldview. Since…

Alien Delusion: Fearmongering Anti-Alien Movie from Gary Bates in Production

It has just come to my attention that a film adaptation of Dr. Gary Bates’ Amazon bestseller Alien Intrusion is in the works, due to be released Christmas 2017. This is NOT good news.  As I demonstrated in Strangers and Aliens, Gary Bates’ book is a bastion of anti-alien fear-mongering supported by bad Biblical arguments and logical fallacies. The fact…
