Avoiding Truth
There is a principle
which is a bar against all information,
which is proof against all argument,
and which cannot fail to keep man
in everlasting ignorance.
That principle is condemnation before
investigation.

The Path to Folly
He that answereth a matter before
he heareth it, it is folly and shame
unto him.
Proverbs 18:13
Genesis 6:1-2
1And
it came to pass, when
men began to multiply on the
face of the earth, and
daughters were born unto
them, 2That the sons of God
saw the daughters of men that
they were fair; and they took
them wives of all which they
chose.
Genesis 6
The first few
verses of this
chapter contain
some information
that is among the
most mysterious
and troubling in
all the OT.
Jesus’ Confidential Briefing
4 Disciples inquire of His Return
• Jesus details precedent events
• Recorded in 3 Gospels
- Matthew 24, 25
- Mark 13
- Luke 21, 22
Olivet Discourse
3And
as he sat upon the mount of
Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall
these things be? and what shall be the
sign of thy coming, and of the end of
the world? 4And Jesus answered and
said unto them, Take heed that no
man deceive you.
Matthew 24:3-4
Olivet Discourse
37But
as the days of Noe were, so
shall also the coming of the Son of
man be. 38For as in the days that
were before the flood they were
eating and drinking, marrying and
giving in marriage, until the day
that Noe entered into the ark,
39And knew not until the flood
came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of
man be.
Matthew 24:37-39
But as the days of Noe were:
The Nephilim were on the earth in
those days—and also afterward—
when the sons of God went to the
daughters of men and had
children by them. They were the
heroes of old, men of renown.

Jude 1:6-7
6And
the angels which kept not their
first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved in
everlasting chains under darkness
unto the judgment of the great day.
7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and
the cities about them in like manner,
giving themselves over to fornication,
and going after strange flesh, are set
forth for an example, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire.

4For
if God spared not the angels
that sinned, but cast them down
to hell, and delivered them into
chains of darkness, to be reserved
unto judgment; 5And spared not
the old world, but saved Noah the
eighth person, a preacher of
righteousness, bringing in the
flood upon the world of the
ungodly;

Pawnee Account
While we were in the sandhills scouting the
Niobrara country, the Pawnee Indians brought
into camp some very large bones, one of which
the surgeon of the expedition pounced to be the
thigh bone of a human being. The Indians said
the bones were those of a race of people who long
ago had lived in that country. They said these
people were three times the size of a man of the
present day, that they were so swift and strong
that they could run by the side of a buffalo, and
taking the animal in one arm could tear off a leg
and eat it as they ran.

Genesis 6:3
And the LORD said, My
spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he also is
flesh: yet his days shall be an
hundred and twenty years.
Genesis 6:4
There were giants in the
earth in those days; and also
after that, when the sons of
God came in unto the
daughters of men, and they
bare children to them, the
same became mighty men
which were of old, men of
renown.
KJV: giants = NIV: Nephilim
Nephilim = offspring of the “sons of God” and the
“daughters of Men”
Usually translated as “Giants”
Comes from Greek “gigante”
which means fallen, die, castdown or earthborn
A race of tryants, mutants, evil

iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall
be partly strong, and partly broken. 43And

clay, they shall mingle themselves with the
seed of men: but they shall not cleave one
to another, even as iron is not mixed with
clay.

Genesis 6
Book of Enoch
6.2 And the Angels, the sons of Heaven, saw them and
desired them. And they said to one another: “Come, let
us choose for ourselves wives, from the children of men,
and let us beget, for ourselves, children.”
7.1 And they took wives for themselves and everyone
chose for himself one each. And they began to go into
them and were promiscuous with them. And they taught
them charms and spells, and they showed them the
cutting of roots and trees. 7.2 And they became pregnant
and bore large giants. And their height was three
thousand cubits.
Genesis 6:5
And God saw that the
wickedness of man was great
in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts
of his heart was only evil
continually.
Genesis 6:6-7
6And
it repented the LORD
that he had made man on the
earth, and it grieved him at his
heart. 7And the LORD said, I
will destroy man whom I have
created from the face of the
earth; both man, and beast,
and the creeping thing, and the
fowls of the air; for it repenteth
me that I have made them.
Genesis 6:8-10

Noah found grace in the
eyes of the LORD. 9These are

walked with God. 10And Noah

and Japheth.

flesh had corrupted his way
upon the earth.

violence through them; and,
behold, I will destroy them with
the earth.

What was Noah’s job before he became a boat builder?

the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
Genesis 6:17-18
17And,
behold, I, even I, do bring a
flood of waters upon the earth, to
destroy all flesh, wherein is the
breath of life, from under heaven;
and every thing that is in the
earth shall die. 18But with thee
will I establish my covenant; and
thou shalt come into the ark,
thou, and thy sons, and thy wife,
and thy sons’ wives with thee.
Genesis 6:19-20
19And
of every living thing of all
flesh, two of every sort shalt thou
bring into the ark, to keep them
alive with thee; they shall be male
and female. 20Of fowls after their
kind, and of cattle after their
kind, of every creeping thing of
the earth after his kind, two of
every sort shall come unto thee, to
keep them alive.
Genesis 6:21-22
21And
take thou unto thee of all
food that is eaten, and thou
shalt gather it to thee; and it
shall be for food for thee, and
for them. 22Thus did Noah;
according to all that God
commanded him, so did he.
UFO’s: Are they Real?
 There is much that is uncorroborated,
disinformation, and unreliable.
 There is too much to ignore that is substantiated,
involving multiple reliable witnesses.
 They have been plotted on multiple radars
simultaneously
Roswell Incident
July 4, 1947: Object landed near Roswell, New
Mexico.
Sheriff George Wilcox contacted Roswell Army
Air Field regarding a wreckage discovered on Mac
Brazel’s ranch.
Army sealed off area; confiscated all items
July 8, 1947, Col. William Blanchard, commander,
509th Bomb Group, issued an official press release
stating that the wreckage of a “crashed disk” had
been recovered.
Published in 30 newspapers that afternoon
Within hours a second press release, rescinding the first one
was issued from the office of Brigadier General Roger
Ramey, Commander, Eighth Air force, at Fort Worth Army
Air field in Texas (400 miles away).
- Claimed that Col. Blanchard and
the officers of the 509th Bomb Group
at Roswell had made an unbelievably
foolish mistake;
- Somehow incorrectly identified “a
weather balloon and its radar reflector”
as the wreckage of a “crashed disk.”
The absurdity of this hastily contrived cover story has
simply fueled 50 years of conjectures and numerous
anecdotal testimonies of those peripherally involved.
- Stories suggest 4 alien occupants, 3 dead,
and one still alive, etc.
Nine months after Roswell Al Gore was born

May, 1996: “We are being visited by aliens.”
James Lovell & Frank Borman
Gemini 7, December 1965:
2nd orbit of 14 day flight, saw a UFO.
Gemini control presumed it was the
final stage of their own Titan Booster.
They indicated that they had both the
booster and the UFO in sight.

“Santa Claus” to indicate UFO’s near the

Neil Armstrong &
Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin
Apollo 11, July 21, 1969: Both apparently saw lights in/on
crater and there were unconfirmed reports that there
were other spacecraft there.
“Two large objects watching them.”
Armstrong is quoted in some reports alluding to a CIA
cover-up.

Early History:

Widespread Belief
57% of Americans believe in UFO’s
15% believe they have seen a UFO
~3% claim an abduction experience
… over 5 million people?
Widespread Belief
There seems to be a growing concern within
the psychiatric community from the strange
(and far too frequent) reports from people
who claim to have been "abducted" by the
occupants of UFOs. These reports are too
bizarre to accept, and yet too frequent-and
consistent-to ignore. What is particularly
disturbing is the estimate from some national
polls that as much as 3% of the population
may be involved!
Paradoxical Behavior
•Multiple competent witnesses
•Plotted on radar
•Leave tangible traces on ground
•Photographed
•Excess of 6,000 mph w/o sonic booms
•Right angle turns @ 16,000 mph
•Materialize - dematerialize w/o traces
