"In a way, a belief in extraterrestrial life has become a secular replacement for God." (Dr. Jason Lisle - see here)
Is that not an astonishing fact? I have written on this before. See my posting - "Ancient Astronaut Theory" Is Neo Paganism.
Angels in the bible are not aliens from another planet! There are indeed fallen angels and their evil offspring, the Nephilim, afflicted the race terribly in the antediluvian world. These did inspire mankind in many of the sciences, as the Book of Enoch details. This helps to account for the advanced state of the old world's technological and scientific knowledge during that time. Consider also the fact that the men from Adam to Noah were very intelligent and advanced in their knowledge of the physical world, apart from any angelic influence. The Egyptian pyramids and other megalithic buildings attest to this fact. So, there is no need to attribute the ancient superiority in learning and knowledge to aliens from other planets.
