Ah, Terry Bisson the Master of science fiction and fantasy quill. Funny Amos!

Nicole- I also thought your explaination of self insemination was very interesting. I suppose that could have been something that happened. Worth the consideration.

Daylia- I believe life on earth started way before the people of the Bible started writing their stories. We do have scientific proof of that. I also think we were visited long before the people of the bible.
They weren't Gods, only percieved as Gods. When I said messing with people, well what's this all about-burning meat so they can smell the aroma (the sacrifices),killing a man (I can't remember who that was right now) because he spilled his semen on the ground, hanging out in the mountains and giving Moses the commandments that people are to follow, saving some people and letting many die, being a jealous God and who were they jealous of? Anyway the list goes on with my interpretation of this book.

We have talked about another religion that deals with this on another thread. It is called Urantia and they don't hesitate to explain about aliens in this religion. As a matter of fact aliens are the basis of this religion. It is actually an interesting read. In it - there are claims that earth is an experimental planet.
One can judge for themselves-Urantia, the book

Spaw I get a good laugh every time I come here!

Peace. Rustic
P.S. Yes Daylia, I am a woman.
