For the past couple of weeks, the History Channel has been running a series on "ancient astronauts". I just watched a bit of one, I had seen most of it before, but just caught the beginning. What really intrigued me was their discussion of a man named Zacharia Sitchin. He wrote a series of books entitled The Earth Chronicles, which apparently are translations of ancient Sumerian texts found in Iraq. In them he states that the Sumerians left records of a
race of gods who, in his assessment, created the first homo sapiens to work as slaves in gold mines. According to Sitchin, these slaves were called "Adamu", very similar to Adam of Genesis.
What crap. Why is it soooo difficult to believe in an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God, who is beyond our comprehension? Why? Because people will do ANYTHING to shirk their
responsibility to God. If we were created by a race of aliens, then there'd be no accountability. We could do as we please, with no thought to eternal retribution. This is why evolution is such a popular belief system. The Truth is so simple, yet so powerful. We humans are rebellious by our nature; this is called sin. That sinful nature is what seperates us from God, but God is unwilling to let us go, so, He made a plan. That plan called for our redemption from that nature, but the only one who could fulfill the obligations called for was God Himself. That's where Jesus comes in. He is the God-man; God become flesh, to redeem a fallen world by the Sacrifice of Himself.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather be a being created by a good and holy God than by friggin ET.
