For many centuries, science and religion have remained staunchly independent. Whenever issues have developed that simultaneously touched on both areas, debate often ensued-for example, when scientists first proposed that the earth revolved around the sun, or when the theory of evolution was proposed. There has always been a cultural disconnect between science and religion that has caused dissention and distrust. Research conducted by author Fred R. David, however, reveals that the missing link between science and religion may be UFOs or, more specifically, the beings inside those crafts. The UFO-Christianity Connection: Fact or Fiction ¿ reveals that UFOs played a significant role in how ancient civilizations built megalithic structures and predicted celestial events perfectly; ¿ brings to life the close association that ancient civilizations had with ancient astronauts-whom they called gods or sky people; ¿ reveals that many events described in ancient writings, including the Bible, involved UFO encounters; ¿ gives readers a unique perspective to engage others in discussing angels, God, UFOs, Bigfoot, Satan, giants, the underworld, the flood, Atlantis, and Jesus. The scientific information presented here is vital for people of all faiths on all continents. Explore the missing link that bridges the gap between science and religion.

Chapter One

Are UFOS Real?

The possibility and nature of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) intrigues nearly everyone. Literally thousands of people over many centuries have seen these craft. You may even have a friend or friends who have seen a UFO. Many airplane pilots, ship captains, police officers, military personnel, and regular citizens worldwide have seen and photographed UFOs. Air traffic control radar towers on numerous occasions have confirmed pilots' visual description of a UFO in range and tracked the craft's speed and direction. Many books document UFO sightings by reliable persons over many centuries.

There are thousands of documented UFO sightings but two recent examples are described below. The first incident occurred on Wednesday night, July 7, 2010 when a UFO flew into the airspace of the Xiaoshan Airport near Hangzhou, the capital of east China's Zhejiang Province. The airport closed all flights in and out from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM as the UFO was tracked on radar. Around 1:00 AM that evening just after the airport had reopened, Hangzhou residents reported seeing a large, brightly lit, elongated UFO in the sky. A year earlier in July 2009, during the viewing of a solar eclipse in China, scientists at the Purple Mountain Astronomical Observatory in Nanjing filmed forty minutes of a UFO reportedly near the sun. No definitive explanation of either event from the Chinese government has been given. A YouTube video of this recent sighting is provided on the next page:

The second incident occurred on June 7, 2008, near Cardiff in Wales, Great Britain. A police helicopter hovering at five hundred feet and, waiting for clearance to land, was forced to take evasive action to avoid a UFO. The helicopter was returning to the Ministry of Defence base at St. Athan when the pilot spotted the UFO coming rapidly towards them. According to the South Wales Police, the helicopter crew crossed the Bristol Channel in pursuit of the UFO, but lost sight of it and was forced to return to base due to low fuel. Since the pilot did not have a camera, a journalist's rendition of what the Wales UFO looked like is provided below:

The June 7, 2008 UFO Seen Near Cardiff in Wales, Great Britain

Some well documented UFO incidents and statements over the last one hundred fifty years are provided below as examples:

* 1879 The U.S.S. Vulture crew operating in the Persian Gulf witnessed two luminous rotating wheels, about one hundred thirty feet across. They hovered above the ship and then plunged into the water.

* 1880 The British steamer Patna and its crew witnessed two glowing, spinning wheels estimated to be five hundred to six hundred meters in diameter appear underwater on each side of the ship.

* 1897 A cigar-shaped UFO crashed in Aurora, Texas on April 19. A four-foot tall alien was buried in a small north Aurora cemetery.

* 1945 In the Bering Sea off Alaska, the U.S. Army Transport vessel Delarof was hauling munitions and supplies to Alaska. The crew saw a large object emerge from the sea. They were able to see the darkness of the craft against the setting sun. The craft climbed almost straight up, leveled off and began to circle the ship. The crew estimated the UFO to be about two hundred feet in diameter. The UFO circled the ship three times, making no sound, and after a few minutes, took off towards the south followed by three flashes of light as the craft disappeared.

* 1947 In Roswell, New Mexico, a UFO crashed. The USA military retrieved several aliens and secretly conducted autopsies on them.

* 1952 From July 13 to July 29, in and around Washington, DC, numerous pilots, traffic controllers, and officials witnessed more than a dozen UFOs.

* 1955 General Douglas MacArthur stated, "The nations of the earth must some day make a common front against attack by people from other planets. MacArthur established the IPU (Interplanetary Phenomenon Unit) to investigate crashed and retrieved UFOs.

* 1960 Dr. Herman Oberth, the father of modern rocketry, said, "It is my thesis that UFOs are real. They are spaceships from another solar system. We cannot take credit for our record advancement in certain scientific fields alone. We have been helped." When asked who has helped mankind, Oberth replied; "The people of other worlds." Oberth said, "UFOs are conceived and directed by intelligent beings of a very high order. UFOs are propelled by distorting the gravitational field - converting gravity into useable energy. There is no doubt in my mind that these objects are interplanetary craft of some sort."

* 1962 Astronaut Scott Carpenter said, "At no time when we were in space were we alone; there was a constant surveillance by UFOs." Carpenter photographed a UFO while in orbit on May 24, 1962. NASA still has not released the photograph.

* 1968 When asked about UFOs, Robert F. Kennedy said, "As you may know, I am a card-carrying member of the Amalgamated Flying Saucers Association."

* 1968 Astronaut James Lovell, commander of the Apollo 13 mission that orbited the moon, made the following transmission after coming around the far (dark) side of the moon, "Mission Control, please be informed, there is a Santa Claus." (The NASA codeword for a UFO was Santa Claus).

* 1968 On the morning of May 20, three UFOs were reported to rise up out of Moore Lake in Littleton, New Hampshire.

* 1971 Captain Edgar Mitchell, Astronaut on the Apollo 14 moon mission and the sixth man on the moon, said, "The evidence points to the fact that Roswell was a real incident and that...
