Zerohedge: Spielberg's Alien Revelation: Faith Under Fire?

Summary

Steven Spielberg's new film, Disclosure Day, explores the profound impact undeniable evidence of alien life could have on global religious beliefs. Spielberg himself stated in a CBS News interview that he believes aliens "have been here, and they are here," citing "overwhelming" evidence accessible in the 21st century. He acknowledges that such a revelation could cause "ontological shock" and "social dislocation," potentially disrupting people's fundamental beliefs. Specifically, he suggests that proof of extraterrestrial intelligence might challenge the exclusive divine role of God for many believers. The film reportedly features a character who argues that people might view aliens as deities and "stop believing in God." However, some Christians argue that their faith, grounded in biblical accounts of non-human entities, would not be shaken by such a discovery, seeing it as a potential deception rather than a faith-shattering event.
