Ancient Aliens and the Mystifying Histories of Mankind...

Totally off topic from my final year research...

I've always been madly intrigued by the history of mankind and the idea of God, religion, and our origins as humans. Though I'm amidst my Final Year Project, I still can't contain my constant interest in the existence of aliens, the idea and possibility of extra terrestrials being mistaken as gods and angels during ancient times, an explanation for all the impressive man-made structures made years "Before Christ" and the explanation for humans to develop vocal chords to create language in both written and spoken form. Everything is so mind boggling. So many "what if"s and schools of thought.

An article by The Washington Post, dated 9th March 2012, explains the possibility of Atheism outnumbering Christianity in a mere twenty years time. My immediate response, "Why not?"

I made a bizzare discovery during the holidays, reading up casually on "The Ideas That Made the Modern World"; During the Renaissance period, it was considered a terrible sin to be an atheist and not have a religious belief, it was so sinful that an atheist was thought to be equivalent to a Rapist and a Murderer for not having a belief in God. The reason so, a man without fear for God is a man who is capable of sins unimaginable to man.

It's a policy which I could understand, after all. Man needed an explanation for all things uncomprehendable, and the easiest way to do so is to define them as godly, and the miracles of god. God, back then, was the central figure to keep societies and communities in check. God was the fearful figure who punished the bad, and rewarded the good. The actions of man to do good and avoid evil doings was overseen by God. A God, or Gods, that could have been misinterpreted by ancient man who could not explain the miracles these technologically advanced extra-terrestrials have introduced to them and their communities.

I've always wondered if the invention of language, development of cities, introduction of time, strange ancient structures that depicted our position in the solar system was created not by man but by highly intelligent extra terrestrial beings...

Simply love these sort of mind boggling stuff.
