Author of Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible and frequent guest of History Channel’s Ancient Aliens series, Reverend Michael Carter, takes ancient astronaut theory to its next developmental step in his latest work, A New World If You Can Take It: God, Extraterrestrials, and the Evolution of Human Consciousness. Drawing on the works of such giants as Erich von Däniken and Zecharia Sitchin, it is well established that many in the UFO community believe that our ancient ancestors mistook extraterrestrial visitors for all powerful deities. Reverend Carter builds on this outlook by reexamining religious and spiritual philosophies and demonstrating how off-world intelligence s shaped early religious teachings.
