For many years, science fiction and space fantasy themes have been around. They have greatly increased on the scene and silver screen over the years and have become very profitable. Comic book mutant stories can be considered science fiction, but there is an abundance of space alien stories. In the book Alien Intrusion — UFOs and the evolution connection , Gary Bates delves into the history of UFOs (now called UAPs) as well as science fiction.

It's all in the numbers, right? via GIPHY Centuries ago (I'm feeling old today), I fully believed in space aliens. Did I have evidence? Not hardly! In fact, nobody has any actual hard evidence . Like evolution, there are assumptions leading to conclusions, circular reasoning, wishful thinking, and more. Interesting that many atheists believe in extraterr...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Since the movie project Alien Intrusion: Unmasking a Deception was first announced by Creation Ministries International , I've been chomping at the bit to see it. Unfortunately, I was unable to see the movie in the cinema. Trusting past experience, reviews from various people, having read the book, and so on, I did something that I've never done before: pre-ordered five copies of the DVD. Now that I've seen it, I can tell you that I'm glad I did. (I think my brother just guessed what he's getting for Christmas.) This isn't strictly a review, since I have a few things of my own to add. Image courtesy of Creation Ministries International As with the book by Gary Bates, the video of Alien Intrusion required a huge amount of research. There is video footage from past documentaries and interviews, as well as quotes from various books and such. There were some excellent CGI moments as well. The video was equal to, and often surpassed,...
