Ancient Aliens: Your Thoughts?

[Kuuuuush]

most ancient civilizations credit beings from the sky for the knowledge they where given....this is a fact.

but do we have to take this literally? To mean that extra-terrestrial beings travelled to Earth and physically built structures for different civilizations at different times around the ancient world. IMO the sky is more of a symbol for the spirits and universal knowledge that some of the civilizations before us were more in tune with than we are today. They looked to the sky like we still do, but had a different way of expressing and explaining it.

That could be so, but that's just as much of a theory as the alien intervention theory. We can sit here and make conclusions all day, but until we get that proof that aliens have visited us, it will forever remain a conspiracy.

I think it's much more of a stretch that aliens travelled thousands of light years, built structures for various cultures, and then bounced, to believe that we underestimate the engineering and intellectual capacity of these peoples.

It's kind of insulting. Basically a bunch of cacs telling us that nikkas and indians couldn't have possibly built the pyramids

People have free will to obey God or disobey God.

as well as free will not to believe in westernized fairy tales and myths

Aramaic semantics?
watchers/fallen angels confused with their offspring?

from what i understand, the Nephilim were the offspring of the fallen ones and the women of earth.

And George W. Bush had personal conversations with Jesus.

Nephelim is an Aramaic word that means 'giants', not a Hebrew word meaning 'fallen ones' or, 'those who fell from the sky'.

Mike Heiser earned an M.A. (1998) and Ph.D. (2004) in Hebrew Bible and Ancient Semitic Languages from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His dissertation was entitled, "The Divine Council in Late Canonical and Non-Canonical Second Temple Jewish Literature" (English translation: the dissertation dealt with the presence of a pantheon in the Hebrew Bible and the binitarian nature of ancient Israelite religion and Judaism, a backdrop for the the belief in the deity of Christ in the New Testament). Before going to the UW-Madison, Mike also earned an M.A. in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania (1992; major fields, Ancient Syria-Palestine and Egyptology). Mike can do translation work in roughly a dozen ancient languages, among them Biblical Hebrew, Biblical Greek, Aramaic, Syriac, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Phoenician, Moabite, and Ugaritic cuneiform. He has also studied Akkadian and Sumerian independently.

i agree with you on the bolded.
the thing i'm still not sure about is if the ones who fell from the sky where spiritual entities that took physical form or extraterrestrials....either way, the outcome were the Nephilim.
