JESUS is an ALIEN
This article is not intended to make fun of religion nor be disrespectful to others beliefs but to give a possible scientific explanation to the non-scientific answers we interpret from the New Testament.
Though not partially understood till recently although the use of astronomy happens to be one of the oldest sciences, anthropologists and astronomers alike have concluded that it could be possible that the "Star of Bethlehem" which the Three Wise Men also known as the Magi had followed from the east could be interpreted as a U.F.O. (Unidentified Flying Object).
The often misunderstood term "U.F.O." doesn't imply to an alien spaceship like most misinformed people have been led to believe but the term was first coined by the United States Air Force in 1952 simply referring to any aerial phenomenon which cannot be immediately identified.
In the case of the "Star" that the Magi followed, scientists now believe that the star was not only an unidentified flying object but also an alien spaceship which explains how it was able to hover over the birthplace of the Christ making it possible for the Three Kings to locate Baby Jesus.
Actual stars are massive luminous balls of plasma held together by gravity. Stars shine due to thermonuclear fusion at it's core which radiates into outer space. In order for a star, even a minimal sized star such as our sun to pinpoint an exact location on earth it would fry our entire planet as well as throw the cycle and balance of our solar system into oblivion.
During the era of Christ humans were one of several types of pre-Homo Sapiens known to exist which included Cro-Magnon. This belief comes regardless of what opinions other anthropologists have on the development of human intelligence among the various races spread throughout multiple environments at different intervals within the last 30,000 year period.
The belief that Jesus Christ was born in a U.F.O. conceived from a superior alien race as man had been created earlier stemming from a theory that humans evolved from the mixture of Alien and Ape within the last 100,000. For those of you who do not know of the possibilities and are so inclined to lean more towards William Jennings Bryan during the Scopes Trail, man is a Primate like no other, like it or not in more ways than one, directly related to the Gorilla, Bonobo, Orangutan, and the Chimpanzee. The Man-Ape Connection shares about 97.5-99% of the same Deoxyribonucleic Acid (D.N.A.). D.N.A. is the nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms as well as the blueprint or code for the instructions to construct other cells and carries the genetic information called genes. In the end you can say we are all a bunch of monkeys. One way or another.
The idea and beliefs about spaceships or aliens were considered too ridiculous and insulting to the Church which places man as a god-like creature described on the Sixth Day in The Creation "And God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness...' And God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him...." (Genesis 1:26-28)
Created that such an explanation was unheard of. 30,000 to 100,000 years beforehand our ancestor's primitive brain did not begin to develop effectively till he remained safely within the confines of his cave as opposed to spending most of his time chased by lions and bears from the Serengeti to the frozen tundra. This cave like atmosphere gave man the time necessary to build upon intelligence, getting him to think, to sway away from instinct, in further developing the mind which eventually led him to create weapons compatible or even better to that of the natural weapons of claws or teeth and the speed, strength, swimming, flying abilities of the beasts surrounding him. It just goes to show the mind is a terrible thing.
The belief that Jesus Christ was born in a U.F.O. from an advanced race is why some believe he was so smart and the mystery of how mother Mary became impregnated by the holy spirit can now be scientifically proven by today's methods of artificial insemination. This further explains why Mary the mother of Jesus was said in the bible to have not had relations with Joseph the Carpenter when he was called upon to become the surrogate father of Baby Jesus.
MATT. 1:18-2:12
When Mary was engaged to marry Joseph and before they lived together, she was impregnated with a child from the Holy Spirit. Joseph, being a righteous man, planned to dismiss her quietly, but an angel came to Joseph and told him not to be afraid because the child was conceived by the Holy Spirit.
Yes Jesus Christ could have been born in a U.F.O. during the era known as the Axis Age which describes the period from 800 B.C. to 200 B.C. when the foundation of individual thinkers within a framework of changing social environments came into existence. During this magnificent era the birth of many paradigmatic personalities came to be such as Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha), Homer, Socrates, Confucius, Zoroaster etc.. A Second Axis Age would not occur for another two thousand years later during the Age of Enlightenment with such thinkers as Renee Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, Nicolaus Copernicus, Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, etc.. and that religion today needs to return to the transformative axial insights, in contrast, to this modern era which has been suggested as the new axis age, whereas it is actually retrograding as traditional relationships between religion, secularity, and traditional thought are changing for the worst. Man in time advances because of a few special individuals in the sciences but then peaks afterwards becoming a victim to his own vanity and greed, lusting for power in a field he did not earn but inherit.
In Christian Doctrine when one reads Romans 56-57 in the New Testament it tells of Christ dying and rising on the third day. Then in the Ascension it holds that Jesus' body ascended to heaven in the presence of his apostles. Could it be possible that Jesus was taken away by a U.F.O. such as an Alien spacecraft. I don't know. I wasn't around. All I can do is listen to what the priests have to say and interpret the bible which I hardly read. The U.F.O. is about as close as an explanation there is in solving one of the many mysteries of Christianity unless you willing to believe that the bible was also written by William Shakespeare. At least the King James version of it. The use of applying science to religion sounds too far fetch to me. I just can't find a way for religion or science to coexist.
Tomorrow April 12, 2009 is Easter Sunday. Celebrate it as you wish.
"It is difficult to discuss the beginning of the universe without mentioning the concept of God. My work on the origin of the universe is on the borderline between science and religion, but I try to stay on the scientific side of the border. It is quite possible that God acts in ways that cannot be described by scientific laws, but in that case, one would just have to go by personal belief." Stephen Hawking
