Would Aliens Disprove the Bible?
Aliens, UFOs, UAPs, secret pastor meetings, and the Bible. Would the discovery of extraterrestrial life cause Christians to reject Scripture? Pastor Cole Phillips and Pastor Bobby Fraumann talk about recent UAP disclosures, why Christians should avoid panic and conspiracy-driven theology, how the Bible speaks about creation and spiritual beings, and why Jesus remains supreme over all creation.
Christian faith isn't fragile. Unidentified does not automatically mean alien. And no discovery can dethrone Christ.
