Rebelliously Curious with Chrissy Newton: UFOs, Science, Culture and Futurism

For part two of this series, UAP and Theology, Chrissy Newton delves into the intriguing intersections of demonology, exorcisms, and science, discussing how ancient theological concepts—especially concerning spiritual warfare—might overlap with modern scientific exploration and what this means for our understanding of both the spiritual and the extraterrestrial.

In this episode, Chrissy is joined by Paul Thigpen, PhD, a renowned author and theologian with a PhD in Historical Theology from Emory University. Paul is the author of Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith, where he explores the profound questions raised by the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth.

Evidence for UFOs is mounting, and with every new revelation, more questions arise. However, for some, these unidentified phenomena evoke deeper concerns—they believe UFOs might be demonic. How do we discern the truth amidst mystery and speculation? Today, Chrissys Newton is joined by Dr. Matthew Halsted, a professor at Eternity Bible College in California, to explore this complex intersection of faith, theology, and the unexplained. Are we on the verge of a spiritual revolution, or is there a deception at play?

We'll explore religious identities, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and its implications for traditional beliefs. We'll also unpack claims about the Vatican's involvement in UFO retrievals and explore the idea that religious assumptions by an alleged group called the Collins Elite may be influencing government discussions on Non-Human Intelligence.

Phenomenology is a philosophical approach that explores the structures of experience and consciousness, focusing on how things appear to us through our subjective perception. This area of study offers a unique lens through which to view the UAP topic. What does it mean to consider humans as sensors? How do we make sense of our everyday lived experiences and the detailed information that technology provides? And more importantly, how does this apply to the mysterious and often controversial topic of UFOs?

Kimberly Engels, an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Molloy University, joins Chrissy Newton on this episode to discuss a fascinating and often overlooked aspect of how we perceive the world around us and humans as sensors.

As our society increasingly relies on technology to define and measure reality, we risk losing touch with the fundamental questions of human life and meaning. As we question the reliability of our senses and the ways in which science and culture intersect, are humans losing the ability to trust themselves and what they see?

We often hear the term "counterintelligence" in discussions about UAPs, but what exactly does it entail? What does counterintelligence consist of, and why does it encompass so many areas of focus, such as the FBI's Counterintelligence Program, homeland security, and more?

In an exclusive interview, Joshua Pierson, a seasoned US Army Chief Warrant Officer Four with 24 years of experience in intelligence, delves into the fundamentals of counterintelligence, the importance of structured analytic techniques in understanding UAPs, and the implications for national security.

Julia Mossbridge, PhD, is a renowned cognitive neuroscientist who has spent years unravelling the complexities of human perception and cognition, particularly in contexts considered taboo and fear. Julia discussed working with taboo and fear: What does cognitive neuroscience teach us? We explore the UAP subject through the lenses of gender and neurodiversity, examining how our gender and brain function influence our learning, perception, and communication of information.

Why do some people doubt others when they share experiences of something bad or traumatic happening to them?

Here are a few reasons: cognitive dissonance, bias and prejudice, fear of consequences, social conditioning, and the influence of authority figures.

Providing a safe space, listening, and believing someone when they say they have been hurt or experienced something science can't explain can be transformative for the person trying to wrap their mind around a traumatic experience.

Alien abductions or exceptional experiences consist of people living with this every day—not being believed.

I sat down with John Priestland, Founder and Chairman of uNHIdden, along with Dr. Daniel Stubbings, Clinical Psychologist and part of the uNHIdden Medical Advisory Board, to dive deep into the experiencer phenomenon from a clinical perspective and how organizations like Unhidden can create pathways for government officials and society to understand better that the human experience is not one-dimensional but complex, through the eyes of the experiencer.
