Extraterrestrials in the Bible: are we the aliens?
The answer to whether extraterrestrials are here depends on who you ask. One school of biblical interpretation says yes, and that we see them every day when we look in the mirror. The basis is Genesis: the "sons of God" who took human women fathered the Nephilim, giants of antiquity. But far from ships and saucers, it speaks of spiritual races —Giborim, Anakim, Refaim, Amalekim and Nephilim— which, according to this reading, would still be among us today as souls incarnated in human bodies. No big-eared greys or burly reptilians.
The theological debate: spiritual entities or flesh-and-blood aliens?
The discussion pits two views against each other. One, supported by Jewish tradition (Midrash Shemot Rabba), claims that the biblical passages about the "sons of God" refer to non-incarnated spiritual entities, whose descendants —human in body but not in soul— were wiped out in the Flood. The other, more popular in ufology, identifies those beings with physical extraterrestrials who would have manipulated human genetics. The conflict boils down to one sentence: "Not that anyone knows of. Every reference to the Torah refers to descendants of energies."
The more down-to-earth position reminds us that humanity is already a mixture: impure souls of Cain and "extraterrestrial" energies according to the story, and that the flood was a failed attempt to cleanse that genetics contaminated by the serpent. In the end, the idea that the extraterrestrials are ourselves —with our duality between good and evil— has an uncomfortable undertone: if we look in the mirror, what exactly do we see?
