What does the bible say about UFOs?

This is a great lecture by Chuck Missler (RIP) that discusses UFOs from a biblical perspective:

And here is a documentary format that covers UFOs, demons, etc by Face Like the Sun productions (linked in an earlier post):

For the conspiracy theorists

I really REALLY like this ending monologue by Chris White (mentioned in an earlier post) in the film "Age of Deceit" by Face Like the Sun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjmFm8PIz8M&t=8761 (already linked to the right time)

To be fair, the entire film/documentary is a good watch.

Conspiracies do exist. You're not a crackpot if you think that evil people do evil things in secret. And it's a lot easier than most people think to keep something secret.

I do not have the gift to be a pastor. Much of what I say comes from a handful of my favorite teachers on this subject. Here are some links:


  • Chuck Missler, God rest his soul: http://khouse.org/ Chuck Missler is truly incomparable. He has an analytic mind and teaches the bible in a way that is helpful for scientifically literate people. Many of his lectures can be found on http://youtube.com or purchased at http://khouse.org
  • Chris White: Chris White is an extremely clear thinker and speaker. He has an amazing gift of articulating concepts in a concise and well thought manner. I could listen to him speak for hours. He recently came out of retirement with a new movie project https://prewrathmovie.com/ and podcast https://bibleprophecytalk.com/ He also has an old youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/VerseByVerseBT/videos with lots of great content that, among other things, answers the common arguments against Christianity. I HIGHLY recommend you scroll through the video titles and watch anything that strikes your curiosity
  • Trey Smith: https://godinanutshell.com/ Trey Smith is somewhat eccentric and moves his hands funny when he talks :) He is clearly influenced by the late great Chuck Missler, but tends to address more controversial topics, such as fallen angels, demonology, and young earth creationism. He also has a youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/treysmithnutshell/videos where he posts some of his content for free. His latest video, Preflood, is a great introduction to his content.

These are just a few of my favorites. 

A little bit about myself

I have plans to make this an ongoing blog, so I might as well start with a little bit about myself.

In my mid 30s, a friend and coworker started talking to me about Christ. He had good answers for all of my gotcha questions. He was patient and spoke to me with love in his heart.

I realized that my ardent atheism was just as foolish as I felt belief in God was. I didn't have any proof or evidence that God wasn't real. In fact, it was much worse than that. After contemplating this for several sleepless nights, I came to the realization that I never even bothered to look sincerely at the evidence for God. I truly was ignorant and foolish. This embarrassed me and without telling anyone, I spent every opportunity over the next several months asking questions and seeking out the answers.

About 7 years ago, I became a born again Christian. What's more, I became a young earth creationist. 

Aside from getting to know me a little, if there's anything else I want to convey with this first post, it's that Christians are not necessarily dumb, foolish, ignorant yokels. When you meet someone who believes something different than you believe, you must accept that their belief is just as strong as yours.
