When people believed in multiple gods, gods visited.
When people started believing in angels and demons, angels and demons interacted with humanity.
Now we are an "enlightened" technological society. We believe there is life Out There in the vastness of space. So now, it is aliens which do their thing with us humans.

People create what they want to see.
But some people can be mistaken in what they see simply because they create what they want to see as oppose to taking whatever they're seeing as what it actually is.
I think this mistake of mis-seeing, so to speak, has happened greatly throughout the ages and has probably played significant part in the cause of some of the problems the world is experiencing in this age.

Aliens with wings? I'd don't know...sounds too Sci-fi for me.
Who knows..
What Aliens don't or can't have wings? How do you know?
What if there are other worlds where Aliens exist, there are flying creatures like the birds we have here, that maybe smarter or less intelligent than what we have here.
Those creatures are Alien after all and the should have some type of wing or two depending on the planets gravity of if they levitate by some unknown force.
Point is, who knows.
What if god isn't this grand thing but we are splits of the creativeness of it...Like a split of it....Then god wouldn't be in control, we would be to some extent, just like we are now in what we create, though not always conscience of it all. We think of god as a single, but what if god were like a collected of thought, of spiritual essence distributed. And along with that we have unknown type powers that were talked about in ancient times that have been thrown out today. Though Quantum sciences are finding these old secrets to be true. And we have been duped by religions to think otherwise.

Then you would be talking about God in a way similar to how I talk about God.
Originally posted by FistOfThe NorthI guess, but neither have ever been viewed here or proven to exist at all. But I understand what you mean. Like my thread, Government is God.
I'm talking about organic Alien life forms from another planet or galaxy.I'm mean, if they do exist, Angels were extraterrestrials (E.T.), since they didn't come from Earth...
...right?
errr i think u must be referring to "the gods must be crazy"{or "are" crazy or sumthin} it was this movie when an empty glass coke bottle is thrown out of an airplane over the territory of the pygmies and since theyve never even seen a rock in their life and their enviornment only has wood and sand in it, they think its from god seeing the strength of the glass and the transparency. itsa pretty old movie{that is IF were talkin about the same one}
