When Aliens Aren’t Aliens
Why Faith Still Stands When the Skies Surprise Us
By Joey Raines
I leaned back in my chair, watching the question hang in the air. Someone had just asked me what would happen if we ever found aliens.
“First off,” I said, “aliens don’t exist. Not the way movies or science fiction shows us. But UFOs? They’re real. They’ve always been real. What people don’t understand is that when something moves across the skies, disappearing and reappearing as if it’s coming from another world, it’s not creatures from another planet. It’s angels. It’s demons. It’s the Watchers. The Bible has spoken of these things long before anyone thought up flying saucers.”
I could see the doubt in their eyes, so I leaned forward. “Think about it. If tomorrow scientists told us they’d discovered what they believe are aliens, religion wouldn’t crumble. Faith wouldn’t disappear. Because what they call aliens are still part of God’s creation. Nothing outside of Him exists. All it would mean is that mankind finally gave another name to what God has already told us about.”
I paused, letting the sound of my words settle.
“So will religion still be around if we ‘find aliens’? Yes. Because the truth doesn’t change just because people change the label. God is still God. His word still stands. And every light in the sky will always answer to Him.”

A Basic Guide to Life in the Void Space
------------------------------------------- 1 ------------------------------------------------ Hello! If you are reading this, then you might be somewhere in the first level of the Void Space. This writing is a guide from the VSSG or the Void Space Survival Group for short. If you are someone new to the Void Space, then you probably have a lot of questions that you need to have answered since you ended up in this strange place from whenever you originally came from. If you are not someone new to this place, then you might want to look back at this guide for a little bit of a refresher if you feel like you need one. After all, there are people who spend a lot of time in this place, but ultimately perish or succumb to something simply because they forgot the basics. Anyway, enough with the introduction, here is some basic information on the Void Space and how you can - hopefully - survive long enough to reach us or any of the less hostile groups that have formed down here.
