Um, I know you quoted me (probably for good reason), but I really don't buy into the Ancient Spaceman idea at all.

Good without God means more..! It means we're independent beings and with an understanding of our social impact. Empathy. Good for God could just mean fear rather than inspiration on some people's part.

Neither do I. The archeological records have disproven such things many times over but the cranks keep bring it back up.
Its too big a thing to have been washed away with time. I think the reason why the sky has always been important to religeon and why theres always an ascension is down to our history worshiping the sun, moon and stars. Not what came from it in a spacecraft
Well if God exists, who, or what. created him?

I sometimes thought about Dawkins "What if your wrong?", but then I discovered his quite reasonable reply to the question.

That's just it. It's as if some people are so focussed on looking for an extraordinary explanation that they just don't see the ordinary one.
There was a website linked to a few posts back showing "UFOs" in paintings. Most of these have misleading descriptions, or are even in some cases cropped to remove sections which would explain the unusual part. Its the picking and choosing of these pictures which irritates me. The belief that if it is painted, then it is a literal representation of what happened.
In which case the world was a screwed up place. Kings sitting on giant wheels, walking skeletons, and people holding concerts in eggs.
But of course, these are symbolic, which is not the same thing at all...

I do hope that's not meant to be a serious answer.

I've read the Bible. I've also read the Koran. Neither have answered the question. If he/she/it says "I've always been here" surely even a God would be curious as to why and how and would have the imputus and nature to find out?
Having said that I accept you want to beleive so wont worry that you dont have the answer. Its your choice.
