You once again saying what I believe as you apologize for saying what I believe. Just stop while you are ahead, I don’t think you know how to apologize for things you do wrong, even when you try to.
You are an odd little man.

I’ve never met someone so adamant about what they believe is truth, and yet so furtive and evasive about what it is they believe.

I think my post is spot on the point.

What is it you think I’m missing?

You are right. (Obviously not about the aliens).

Things beyond our understanding were given divine status. (Whether that be the planets or an erupting volcano). It was a way to give meaning and negate fear and hopelessness.

if you (and others here) would bother to read The Book of Enoch, you will see the truth and learn exactly about the aliens and even their ships !!

On what basis do you claim that The Book of Enoch contains "the truth"?

I’ve seen “The Book of Eli” and could tell it was complete fiction just by viewing it.
