Over the years, I’ve encountered many responses from readers who attempt to explain extraterrestrial phenomena through the lens of “fallen angels.” This explanation, while rooted in familiar scriptural narratives, deserves closer examination—one that is free from the confines of doctrinal thinking that has been ingrained across millennia.

The grip of religious dogma on humanity’s collective psyche runs so deep that when confronted with truths that challenge their worldview, many retreat into denial or cling to cognitive dissonance. Rather than venturing beyond the limits of their scriptures to explore the profound mysteries of the cosmos, they reframe these phenomena to fit their inherited narratives, often twisting ancient texts to explain away hard, verifiable realities that contradict their beliefs.

A prime example of this is the tendency to label all extraterrestrial intelligences as “fallen angels.” This label, steeped in scriptural tradition and negative connotation, reveals both a fear of the unknown and an astonishing presumption: that God’s infinite universe, teeming with untold life forms, can be reduced to a simplistic binary of "good" and "evil." While good and evil undeniably exist among human groups, it is entirely likely—even probable—that alien species, too, encompass a spectrum of moral tendencies. To presume that all non-human intelligences are either malevolent or angelic is to impose our limited and Earth-centric notions of morality onto beings whose existence and motivations may far surpass our comprehension.

This perspective not only stifles inquiry but is also woefully inadequate in addressing the complexities of the cosmos. To suggest that every extraterrestrial intelligence is a "fallen angel" reflects a profound limitation in our thinking—a refusal to consider that ancient human texts, written during an era when the Earth was thought to be the center of the universe, might not possess a comprehensive understanding of the Creator's vast and diverse creation.

What if these beings are neither “angels” nor “demons,” but instead explorers, scientists, or seekers like ourselves—albeit far more advanced? What if their motivations, technologies, and moral frameworks exist beyond the grasp of human comprehension, and have nothing to do with the constructs of human religion? To project our fears and insecurities onto these beings, branding them as malevolent, is to imprison ourselves in the limitations of our own imagination.

It is time we climb out of the narrow silos of our Earth-bound paradigms and embrace the boundless wonder of the cosmos. God's creation is not confined to the narratives we’ve perpetuated for thousands of years. Instead, it encompasses a diversity of life and intelligence that surpasses anything we can currently conceive.

Not everything unfamiliar is malevolent. Some of what we encounter may hold the keys to our next great leap in understanding—truths that will shatter our paradigms and expand the boundaries of human evolution. Whether we like it or not, we are on the cusp of a profound awakening, one that may arrive sooner than we anticipate.

Let us prepare ourselves to step into this unfolding reality with courage, curiosity, and an open heart. For only by shedding fear and embracing the infinite possibilities of God’s creation can we take our rightful place in the vast tapestry of existence.

I’ll conclude by sharing an excerpt from the closing of my forthcoming book, Beyond the Gods:
