Greetings,
There is a lot of wild opinion out there about
UFO's and related concepts and theories.
My question is what is the proper theology regarding
alleged extra-terrestrial things.
If such things are ever verified will it over throw
the faith of some?
============================
As I remember it back in the day we said there was
no such thing as intelligent life other than our
current civilization (that has only been to the moon)
and that is approx 6000 years old
and any apparent evidence to the contrary was demonic
manifestations to deceive the scientists.
=============================
A couple examples
Here are a couple of paintings made in the middle ages
wherein the artists painted UFO's similar to the modern
concepts of UFO's
on this web page
http://www.crystalinks.com/ufohistory.html
is some religious art from 1350 AD
this art has two UFOs in it
the painting:

on the same web page is the following painting from the 1300's AD
It contains a glowing "ship" flying in the sky.

----------
So we would have said that whatever the artists saw
was a demonic manifestation of material flying in the sky
or else it was a demonic false dream or vision.
-----------
My questions are
- Do I remember correctly our theology from 30 years ago?
- Is there any other theology available to us that remains true to the Bible?
- If modern science ever reveals to us ruins or artifacts on planets or asteroids
out in space are we going to say it is demons falsifying the camera pictures?
- If modern science reveals evidence of other civilizations are we ready to
accept this info without it shaking our faith?
