UFOs and Christianity
1-What does Christianity say UFOs are? (Remember, they're depicted in historic art dating back centuries)
2-If they're proved to be real--that is, something from another species other than human--how, if at all, would it change Christianity?

1- Any unidentified flying object.
2- Wouldn't change it for me at all. If God wants to have people/aliens elsewhere, why should I care? |

I don't mean to twist the topic of the thread all around, but it occurred to me that maybe (just maybe) UFOs--if they do indeed exist--are not dependent upon Christianity. Might anyone be willing to grant that possibility?

Strap yourself in before somebody replies. You must be prepared for the answers.  |

I don't recall saying that, did someone else?  Can't Christians have an opinion on the topic? |

It would be interesting to hear what a theologian has to say on the subject. |
