If you're a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, or a member of any number of God-fearing religions, I ask you to take a few minutes to think about the questions I'm going to ask you. The purpose is not to belittle you or your religion in any way, but to make you think about the things you believe in so fervently.

It's a matter of scriptural record that God created the messengers (otherwise known as "angels") before he created mankind. Why do you suppose he did that? Some of the things I have been told include serving mankind and delivering messages to mankind. If God is all seeing and all knowing, why would he need messengers? Could it be because they are his "eyes and ears"?

In the scriptures, mention is made of a "chariot of fire" that whisked Elijah to heaven. The book of Ezekiel mentions something that he could only describe as "four living beings" joined together with the ability to hover. These were simple people from simple times, obviously much simpler than our own. Is it possible they were describing, in the best way they knew how, what modern people would call aircraft or spacecraft?

If you consider the possibility that what I'm asking is true, could the "flying saucers" that people have seen be the craft that the "messengers" use to observe us? Could the sheer population on planet Earth require advanced methods like this to keep tabs on us?

Would any of this, in your eyes, make God any less a god? In my opinion, it shouldn't. Life had to have started somewhere, and it couldn't have started by itself.
