And God said:
Let us make Man
in our image, after our likeness...
And God created the Adam in His image,
in the image of Elohim created He him.
And it came to pass,
when the Earthlings began to increase in
number upon the face of the Earth,
and daughters were born unto them,
that the sons of the Elohim
saw the daughters of the Eartlings,
that they were compatible.
And they took unto themselves
wives of whichever they chose.
The Nefilim were upon the Earth
in those days, and thereafter too,
when the sons of the Elohim
cohabited with the daughters of the Adam
and they bore children to them.

Zecharia Sitchin - A balanced critique by Alan Alford
There are two words that are particularly notable in this passage, but which due to
mistranslations of the original Sumerian texts from which they are based, have been
misinterpreted in the traditional Biblical book of Genesis. The first is Elohim.
This is a plural word meaning Gods. The other word is Nefilim. This comes from
the original Sumerian text meaning "Those who descended". The meaning closely parallels
the meaning of the Sumerian AN.UNNA.KI, "Those Who from Heaven to Earth Came".
The Nefilim were the people of the shem - the gods of the sky vehicles.
We have reason to believe that our planet has been visited by
extraterrestrials since the dawn of time. The evidence for extraterrestrial visitations
to Earth in the "early days" is not lacking. If you look into it you will discover that
this "evidence" comes from a very traditional and well known source indeed; the Bible.
Through study of the Bible and other ancient texts you will discover our "extraterrestrial
origin" in the shape of myths and legends about the "Gods" that came down to Earth from the
Heavens. They created man and shaped and founded the basis of our societys and religious
systems.
Yahweh, the ExtraTerrestrial God
When read as a book based on factual, historical events, as a
history book, the old testament of the Bible tells the story of an intellectual, powerful
being called Yahweh who had a presence on Earth.
What kind of being could have earned that kind of status? He must have held some features that
made him a superior being. This suggests that he was the representative of en advanced
extraterrestrial race (they are always superior, aren't they?) that was human in appearance.
Now, on the other hand, if Yahweh was not a physical being, but Moses in fact channeled the
Universal Mind, the story would take on a whole different scenario. This, however, does
not coincide with/accunt for/corelate with the descriptions of the events taking place.
Isn't it interesting then, with this in mind, that in all the Biblical movies, God is always
presented as a voice and never actually given a physical appearance.
I believe that in order to understand the consept of the word God, it is neccessary to
distinguish between God in a spiritual sense and "God" in a physical sense. From a spiritual
point of view, God can be understood as the Source of all things, All that is, Love.
The universe is God and God is the Universe. Everything that is IS GOD. To define the term God
that way, however, can also be confusing. From a Biblical point of view it is appearant that
we are also talking about a physical being.
"The question is wheather Yahweh, the God of the Bible, was a channeled entity or a physical being."
The Hebrews believed in Elohim,
a plural term which should be literally translated as "the gods". The single being many today
think of as God was the ruler of planet Earth during that time - a being called Yahweh by the
people of Israel and Enlil by the people of Mesopotamia. Enlil is also a central figure in the
research by Zecharia Sitchin. Enlil was one of
the Anunnaki, the Nephilim; "those who came from Heaven down to Earth".
The following question comes to mind: Is it common knowledge that the God never had a physical
presence on Earth? Exodus suggests that there was indeed physical encounters between Moses and
God. The following is an excerpt from Exodus describing how Moses was approached by God on
Mount Sinai. Did God literally "hand over" the stonetablet containing the 10 Commandments;
rules on how to behave and act morally in God's land? This suggests a very physical, personal,
humanoid "God" indeed.
"And the morning of the 3rd day there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the
mountain...and a very loud trumpet blast so that all who were in the camp trembled. Then Moses
brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.
Mount Sinai was wrapped in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire and the smoke of it
went up like the smoke of a kiln and the whole mountain greatly quaked. As the sound of the
trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him in thunder. Yea, the Lord came
down upon Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up to meet him. And the Lord
said to Moses, 'Go down and warn the people lest they break through to the Lord to gaze and many
of them perish'."
Exodus, 19:16-21
If we put this into "modern day" context, there could very well be a physical presence of a
spaceship in the above text. "thunders and lightnings", "trumpet blast" suggests an engine.
"the Lord descended upon it"; The spaceship came down from the sky and landed on mount Sinai.
They were then warned by this being not to come closer to the ship. Could this be because of
radiation from the ship?
The most common argument against extraterrestrial visitation on this planet has always been the
lack of physical evidence. The idea that the God of the old testament, Jehovah, Yahweh, was the
representative of a superior extraterresrtial race is intruiging and fascinating because it would
stand as an early example of such visitation. This idea is not new, as we discover when reading
the works of Däniken, Sitchin, and recently Alan Alford, but I'm still somewhat surprised that
the idea hasn't been stronger implied into our cultural consciousness. The suggestion that the
Biblical God was an ET may not be easily accepted among fundamentalists, but it is indeed an
interesting concept which would not only explain the line "God created Man in his image, after
his likeness", but would change the way we look at ourselves, the world, the universe, God and
religion in general.
