Exotheology expert and author of The Bible and Flying Saucers Reverend Barry Downing, PhD beams in to talk about the influence of extraterrestrials on Christianity — and his appearance on History’s Ancient Aliens — on episode 104 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.
If you’ve been wondering about whether some of the stories told in the Bible have their roots in ancient extraterrestrial contact, this is the show for you. Faust and Dr. Barry dive right into the question of how souls arrive on Earth, and how it relates to UFOs in the story of Genesis. The two discuss several Biblical legends that may in fact trace back to ET experiences.
Listen in to Reverend Barry’s deep store of Biblical knowledge, and hear his personal tale of what it’s been like to be a church pastor and an ET believer at the same time. Stick around till then end, when Dr. Barry shares his bit of coded wisdom for humanity.
Barry H. Downing is Pastor Emeritus of Northminster Presbyterian Church, Endwell, NY.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from Hartwick College, a divinity degree from Princeton Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. degree in science and religion from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.
He published The Bible and Flying Saucers in 1968, which was reprinted several times in Europe and the United States (and updated in both 1997 and 2019). He has argued that events like the parting of the Red Sea and the resurrection of Jesus are UFO related events.
His new book, Biblical UFO Revelations, expands on these issues, both in terms of the response of religious groups to these issues, and the way a scientific world view reflects on the evidence.
Downing is listed in Who’s Who in Theology and Science,has been a consultant in theology to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) since 1972, and has appeared in several of the History Channel series “Ancient Aliens.”
