THE VATICAN AND ETs
Fr. Jose Gabriel Funes, in May of 2008, a Roman Catholic Jesuit Priest, started to speak and write about contact with extraterrestrials. Funes served as the Director of the Vatican Observatory and as a Senior Vatican Theologian. Christians, he argued, should prepare themselves for embracing and loving our alien sisters and brothers.
Pope Benedict XVI convened a world colloquium in 2009 to explore the theological repercussions of contact with ETs. The Vatican welcomed thirty theologians and scientists for private discussion and debate. Man cannot establish limits for God’s creative limits, Funes argued, and therefore there is no serious conflict between Faith and astrobiology. Aliens, he concluded if they exist, they must also be God's creations.
Considering that 400 years ago, the Church burned people at stake for stating that other intelligent species might exist, this turn-around by the Vatican is quite dramatic—and puzzling.
Do they know something we don’t, that contact might be shared with the public soon?
We must also recall that on May 9, 2001, a variety of respectable and sincere witnesses assembled at the National Press Club in DC to share their experiences and knowledge about ETs.
Some violated nondisclosure agreements; some had themselves and/or their families threatened with harm. Some major media players attended but refused to report it.
A member of the Vatican Curia, Monsignor Corrado Balducci, assured the public that ETs are not the demons many believed them to be but are real and should be taken seriously. The Bible includes descriptions of intelligent non-humans: not demons, not angels. He added they should not even be called “alien” because any creature made and loved by the same God who created and loved humans should be welcomed as a brother or sister.
The Vatican’s public revelations of both the aliens' likely presence as one of God's creations support the Sumerian and Babylonian teachings, including the plurality of the Elohim.
ALIENS, PAUL WALLIS, AND GENESIS
Current Christian theologists turn to Genesis to tell the Faithful that a single all-powerful God created the universe, including all of the planets, every single atom, proton, and electron, and all life.
Paul Wallis, an experienced clergyman, took a close look at the book of Genesis when he was laid flat on his back from an injury and could not preach for a while.
He came across such anomalies and contradictions that he concluded that he did not benefit from the original versions of the stories deemed necessary.
His first task. Find the original narratives and clarify their suggestions about where we came from, who we came from, and who we are.
More ancient stories of human origins were nearly eliminated in the 6th century BC, from the Hebrew Scriptures, and blocked from Christian writing in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD?
As we take the same red pills that Neo took in the Matrix or join Alice in going down the rabbit hole, we find ourselves roaming through ancient Greece, Africa, India, Mesoamerica, and above all, Sumeria, not in a search for a traditional monotheistic figurehead, but, according to the myths, for evidence of heavenly councils of extraterrestrials. As Neo found himself forced to do, we will have to discard the illusions and delusions from the past to embrace new realities.
Playing explorer, researcher, and detective, Paul Wallis in Escaping from Eden undercovers mindboggling secrets about Biblical texts. Their implications demand a rethinking of the Abrahamic religions and a new openness to alien contact. His conclusions will be as controversial as they are informative and as broad-scoped, and they are earth-shattering. With such a book by Wallis, the entire universe and the origins of Humans come into better scientific and spiritual focus.
DNA: GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BY ANCIENT ALIENS?
Wallis shares the work of two scientists, which peaked in 2013 with a publication about the alien origin of DNA. Vladamir shCherbak and Maxim Makulov from the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute and the Kazakh National University. They studied the Human Genome Project for over thirteen years and showed their mathematical evidence that our DNA arose from the intelligent design from alien genetic engineers. Our DNA bears symbolic language and arithmetic patterns. It is also over 4 billion years old. This implies that the genetic engineers had to be from even earlier.
They published in Icarus and, according to Wallis, suggested that the "junk" coding in our DNA, up to 75% by weight, is actually genetic code from extraterrestrials. ( I could not find a study on this suggestion and did not see it in their abstract)
Some scientists from the University of Michigan think that one function it serves is to hold the genome together.[1]
Recall that Francis Crick and Leslie Orgel published a paper in 1981 claiming similar conclusions but did not have the genomic and mathematical evidence.
Mikulov and shCerbak claim that DNA, as our genetic code, contains prime numbers, which rarely occur in the rest of Nature. Amazingly, nine multiples of the number 37 occur throughout our code at a probability of one in ten trillion. DNA coding, if anything, did not arise from randomness, according to Mikulov, or natural selection, according to Francis Crick. DNA has an extraterrestrial origin. Mikulov and ShCerbak think DNA arrived via comets; Crick thinks unmanned spaceships.
The seeded hypothesis, also known as Directed Panspermia, inspired Carl Sagan’s novel Contact, writings by Erich Von Daniken, and movies Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Prometheus from Ridley Scott. DNA spores could travel by comet, meteors, asteroids, or spaceships.
The scientific community found itself so convinced of the possibility of tiny DNA-filled cosmonauts that they penetrated a comet with a probe named Rosetta in search of DNA. Discover glycine and phosphorous, both integral to DNA, cell membranes, and protein.
Wallis begs the next logical question. If DNA arrived via aliens, might they follow up and tweak life on Earth towards higher intelligence some billions of years later?
ALIENS AND RELIGION, IN GENERAL
An idea is a thought that could lead to action.
A belief suggests the nature of truth.
An ideology is a system of disseminated ideas and beliefs that influences behavior.
Ideologies can influence the infrastructure of civilizations and the distribution of all resources, including political and governmental power and large sums of money.
By influencing our minds and behaviors, ideologies affect the sexual and natural selection, hence genetic reproduction and expansion. The ecological principle referred to as Gauss's law states that competition is maximal between species with identical needs. We all employ similar, universal neural circuitry that includes wiring for thoughts and experiences regarding any robust belief system, including those of religion and spirituality.
That competition is maximal between those with similar needs is obvious when it comes to the "species" of world ideologies. Much like a variety of plants competing for a piece of soil to call their own, ideologies compete for the fertile soils of our minds to grow and reproduce themselves through a form of mental pollination.
Ideological doctrines serve our gene-driven expressions and are patterns that evolve in our minds, our media and are mirrored into our cultures. Ideologies tend to undermine or limit their competitors from doing the same. Ideologies constantly compete or cooperate to compete against others. Sometimes ideologies commit acts of meme war that can evolve into physical war.
Constrained by their knowledge systems, they tend to refute other belief systems to protect and maximize their membership. Leaders and their followers in most ideologies believe their ideology offers the best story, meaning, and way of life.
Actively recruiting more members, or taxing or eliminating non-members, are top priorities. In the modern world, some ancient ideologies appear bigoted and narrow-minded to shield themselves from their competitors.
Justin Barrett in Why Would Anyone Believe in God? (Cognitive Science of Religion) reasserts E.O. Wilson's point that our brains are wired for god concepts and use them for survival. Children tend to invent gods even if not indoctrinated. We owe much of our brain development to imagination to predict immediate futures and assign agency to cause. In addition to the brain wired for spiritual or mystical experience, we seem to have instinctual needs for beliefs in a god or supernatural beings. In the past, we've needed these beliefs for survival and reproduction rather than truth.
Originating as localized cultural adaptations, the worlds' major religions and spiritual practices became generalized to encompass larger geographical areas, often through territorial expansion and governance, trade, and gene pool mixing. Christianity grew to dominate many westernized countries; Buddhism, much of Asia; Islam today's middle east, north Africa, nearly all of Indonesia, and Pakistan; and Hinduism, India.
NONDISCLOSURE
Given our current political process, the lobbying power of big businesses, including churches and the military-industrial complex, has advocated for, and quite successfully, policies of nondisclosure regarding UFOs or UAP. The government does what big business wants through a Deep State.
The disclosure of advanced aliens would threaten those in power in several ways.
01 Underline and highlight the weaknesses, totalitarian nature, inefficiency, profit motives, and secrecy of current governments.
02 Catalyze an avalanche of new religions, which would compete for resources including real estate holdings, lobbying power, and income streams. Current faiths would have to adapt or die.
03 Challenge all governments and religions to account for alien existence and determine the best strategy to deal with their presence.
Given that DNA might have been genetically engineered by advanced aliens (see the book summarizing Francis Crick) and that the book of Genesis may be telling a story about a heavenly council composed of aliens (see Paul Wallis book) rather than a monotheistic god, we could anticipate a significant disruption in current religious belief systems if we see evidence that aliens visit earth, and probably have for a very long, long time. The Second Coming might be construed as one from an alien presence.
We can understand much of the nondisclosure and coverup to be based on issues of national security. (See the summary and update book on The Day After Roswell)
Why the shift to partial disclosure now? What is coming?
We can see the competing ideologies concerning UFOs. On social media posts, some people claim that aliens must be interdimensional demons or fallen angels, like Satan. They are protecting their religion by accusing the aliens of evil.
Rather than restrict its worldview with self-serving myth, more optimal ideologies would want to expand their worldviews continuously. Let's first learn about the aliens before we judge them.
A more optimal ideology would want to account for all its competitors and their methods, compete and cooperate with them, and offer a prime directive of integrating and applying all obtainable knowledge to benefit all life in the universe. Optimal religions, given that beliefs, satisfy numerous personal, familial, and community needs, would support the advancement of knowledge rather than its constraint.
THE DAY AFTER ROSWELL--THE SAME DAY THE COVERUP STARTED
Exclusively adapted from Summary and Update: The Day After Roswell by Philip Corso by Scott Campbell.
General Trudeau used the opportunity of the Cuban Missile Crisis, as he retired, to make an even stronger case for some space defense force and claimed he had viable plans for weapons to shoot down missiles in mid-air.
But it wouldn't be until the 1980s that Trudeau and Corso would have their most cherished wishes not only come true but, as we have already discussed, their fruition would lead to the end of the Cold War.
The interactions between Reagan and the CIA and Gorbachev and the KGB regarding the common alien threat led to the fantastic result. The Cold War had been forced to play second fiddle to the risk of a Star War. Reagan promised to protect Russia from the aliens, and Russia pledged not to fire missiles at the United States. The Strategic Defense Initiative squashed the massive buildup of nuclear arms. In a way, the alien presence may very well have prevented a nuclear war between the United States and Russia. General Trudeau finally passed away in 1991 at the age of 89, but not before seeing the activation of the Star Wars defense and the end of the Cold War. Corso passed away in 1998, in July, just after the forty-first anniversary of the crash at Roswell. Both men were humble American and global heroes, part of a handful of intelligence operatives who made the right calls after that dark and spooky lightning-filled night in Roswell in 1947, changing life on Earth forever.
