Are Aliens a threat to Christianity?

Would the confirmation of the existence of alien life on other worlds be the end of Christianity as we know it? What of messages purported to be from God sent via aliens? Does the Bible mention flying saucers or even refer to sex with aliens? What of UFOs, abduction and the likes? Was Jesus an Alien?

A film here (a bit creepy if you're not used to it, so probably best no minors around) gives the increasingly standard Christian response on the matter.

I present a different opinion in my honours thesis which I did for my theology degree, receiving an A grade and resulted in quite a few speaking invites and even attending a phone in on UCB Radio. You can read www.christianity-aliens-and-ufos.org.uk and have a skim through the issues involved.

We'll bat some of the issues around for stimulating discussion in mid May. So get thinking and ready to ask questions where none have asked before...

October 14th-16th: A significant alien event should be happening in the next few days according to some...

Has anyone seen this guy from Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends? He claims that aliens speak through him. Very funny.

You can see the whole documentary on YouTube in five parts - part one here. Louis travels to America to interview various people who are into UFOs. It's great, as all of his stuff is.
