Anyway, with that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight. The choice of libation is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Bible that will be a single shot and every time I say Aliens, that will be a double shot. Yeah, I’m sure that got you guys thinking hmmm and rightly so, and since the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… and the strange passages in the Bible that point to alien encounters. Of the many accounts in the Bible of strange happenings and otherworldly occurrences, the story of Ezekiel is one of the more fascinating, especially when looked at through the lens of modern technology. When biblical texts are interpreted through this perspective in general, an interesting picture emerges of the possibility that our ancient ancestors were actually visited by an advanced race, rather than gods. This idea, known as the ancient astronaut theory, sees Ezekiel’s “vision” of the Merkabah, or wheeled chariot, as more likely to be a spaceship or space shuttle used by an advanced species to reach out to humans. Erich von Däniken is one of the biggest proponents of this theory, providing a very compelling argument for an alternative interpretation of the Book of Ezekiel. So compelling is his theory it even reversed an entire thesis of a NASA scientist’s book aimed at disproving his claim.
