And these ancient children of the Clear Being await his return." Science-fiction Horror w/Biblical elements. This book seems to be the Atheist test: everyone that starts it gets angry for some reason, even when they claim that they are open-minded atheists. This book is a story of a possibility of the origins of the bible stories, where divine intervention is really ancient extraterrestrial intervention. This simple story carries the reader so convincingly for such a long time, then when you realize you are being re-told the bible stories of exodus, then I think people feel tricked. But if its so real and convincing, then maybe its time for this story. I think most people have been so deeply indoctrinated with God-created origins of life and the sacredness of the bible, that even seriously espoused atheists have trouble being open-minded about it. The Bible is a beautiful ancient work of poetry and story telling. I'm open to it being true history, then how are the miracles explained? By other than beings more experienced and more powerful than us, and we think them Gods; then we believe it's one God. How is God any different than an Alien? God's less real! People say they don't believe in aliens because they've never seen one; but I've never seen this God guy or Jesus, anymore than just in my mind's eye, and 3 billion people on this planet believe in Him. Which is what this book is: a new journey thru possibilities in your mind's eye. See if you can keep your mind open enough to read it all. You can skip the gory parts about aliens eating other aliens if you want; that's in there just for fun. So that is it: it's too similar the comparison: God and Extraterrestrials. Atheists want to try to believe that we are alone in this universe. Utterly alone. Except that science has told us the with the proliferation of planets in the millions of galaxies in this universe, the chances of other life forms is almost certain. Which is probably why some people are so adamant. Aliens might be scarier than God because see now that they might actually be real, flesh and blood kind of real. it is as good an argument as the god-created life explanation. Its almost the same argument in fact: superior beings intervened. . And that's why Christians and non-Christians become so upset when they read this book. They feel they're being tricked into a goofy fiction, just like the other one, and they feel they are being made fun of. And that's why its called fiction; because it probably all is. Aliens and God. The universe that we perceive is what I call "the amazing complexity of life we will never fully understand, and half of it is illusion anyway," just to keep it short, at least not until that last 'ah-hah' moment right before we burn up in the black hole that will then explode and become the new universe-reality starting with all new information. Maybe this time we can do without the gossipers? We have lived with this myth of god for so long without him actually showing up, that we have become inured from the fear of it, uh, Him. But then science has told us of the probability of other life, intelligent life, and then modern entertainment has brought aliens to life. And the fear of them actually showing up may be becoming more real for people than a vengeful god. NM
