The following talk was delivered to
MUFON, Rhode Island members
on October 20, 2000.
An on-line report by Hebrew scholar
Zecharia Sitchin (www.sitchin.com) describes a meeting between
Sitchin and High Vatican official Monsignor Corrado
Balducci. As this story relays, Balducci and Sitchin
met in Bellaria, Italy in March of this year (2000) at a
conference entitled "The Mystery of Human Existence."
Monsignor Balducci holds the
following impressive credentials:
-
he is a member of the Curia
of the
Roman Catholic Church
-
he is the Prelate of the
Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and the
Propagation of the Faith
-
he is the leading exorcist
of the Archdiocese of Rome
-
he is a member of the
Vatican’s Beatification Committee
-
he is an expert on Demonology
-
he was reportedly appointed by
the Vatican to study the matter of UFO’s
and extraterrestrials
At this conference in Italy, Sitchin
presented his compelling research into the Sumerian texts,
which is now known as the "genetic engineering hypothesis."
For those of you familiar with von Daniken’s "ancient
astronaut" theories, we can essentially describe
Sitchin’s work as an extension of these earlier theories, except
that Sitchin has worked out the details of this genesis
story by his ability to translate ancient Sumerian documents.
According to Sitchin, ancient Earthling notetakers
wrote on every possible piece of material they could find - clay,
stone, parchment - telling us not only that Earth had
been visited by spacefaring humanoid beings, but that Earth
humans and cultures are a direct result of periodic visits by these
advanced genetic scientists.
Sitchin’s translation of these ancient texts - described in
detail in six books of the
Earth Chronicles series -
describes a pre-history very different from the one taught to us in
our pre-history, science and anthropology courses. When uttered
outside of rented rooms like this one, these ideas make people very
uncomfortable. His translations tell us that earth humans are not
alone, even in our own solar system.
At this conference in Italy, Sitchin reiterated the
ancient Sumerian story of Nibiru, also known as Marduk
to the Babylonians, and to our own scientists as
Planet X. According to Sumerian accounts,
Nibiru is a huge planet which is part of our solar system,
but which travels in a vastly elliptical orbit, nearing Earth
about every 3,600 years. According to Sitchin’s translations,
this tenth planet is the home of space travelers called
the Anunnaki, which he
translates as "Those Who From Heaven to Earth Came."
You might be interested to know, the Hubble telescope
has recently discovered numerous planets and moons in other solar
systems with highly elliptical plunging orbits and
clockwise orbits, suggesting that such an eccentric orbit
may actually be the norm in other solar systems. If Sitchin
is right, it may also, unbeknownst to us, be occurring in our own
solar system.
At this conference in Italy, Sitchin reiterated his theory
that the Anunnaki began visiting our planet about
450,000 years ago. Sitchin suggests that about 300,000
years ago, these space travelers engaged in genetic engineering
which "upgraded" then-existing hominids to the status of
Homo sapiens: a being capable of accepting cultural
indoctrination. In his presentation, Sitchin made sure he
stated that in this act of creation, "the Anunnaki
were acting as Emissaries for the Universal Creator - God."
Following his presentation, Sitchin was given an opportunity
to meet with Monsignor Balducci. As Sitchin reports,
Balducci’s position on UFO’s was that "there
must be something in it." Balducci felt that "the hundreds
and thousands of eyewitness reports leave no room for denying that
there is a measure of truth in them...". Balducci stated,
"Witnessing is one way of
transmitting truth, and in the case of the Christian religion,
we are talking about a Divine Revelation in which
witnessing is crucial to the credibility of our faith."
Regarding life on other planets,
Balducci admitted to Sitchin:
That life may exist on other planets
is certainly possible... The Bible does not rule out that
possibility. On the basis of scripture and on the basis of our
knowledge of God’s omnipotence, His wisdom being
limitless, we must affirm that life on other planets is
possible... credible and even probable.
Cardinal Nicolo Cusano
(1401-1464) wrote that there is not a single star in the sky about
which we can rule out the existence of life, even if different from
ours.
On the subject of intelligent extraterrestrials, Balducci
stated:
"When I talk about
extraterrestrials, we must think of beings who are like us;
more probably beings more advanced than us, in that their nature
is an association of a material part and a spiritual part, a
body and a soul, although in different proportions than human
beings on Earth."
As Balducci made clear, "Angels"
are beings who are purely spiritual, devoid of bodies, while humans
are made up of spirit and matter, but the spiritual part would be at
"at a low level". Balducci then made the following
provocative statement:
It is entirely credible that in the
enormous distance between Angels and humans, there
could be found some middle stage, that is beings with a body
like ours but more elevated spiritually... In spite of what some
people think, we would be in a position to reconcile their
existence with the Redemption that Christ has
brought us.
Regarding the Anunnaki and
the Creation of Man, Balducci explained that
Sitchin’s approach is based on physical evidence, and concerns
itself with matter, not with spirit. Balducci reiterated the
view of Father Marakoff, who is still alive and is greatly
respected by the Church. Marakoff has suggested that
when God created man and put the soul into him,
"perhaps what is meant is not that
Man was created from mud or lime, but from something
pre-existing, even from a sentient being capable of feeling and
perception."
So, Balducci suggested to
Sitchin in their meeting,
"the idea of taking a pre-man or
hominid and creating someone who is aware of himself is
something that Christianity is coming around to. The key
is the distinction between the material body and the soul
granted by God."
Sitchin explained that while he
does deal with physical evidence, in his first book The 12th
Planet, he raises the question "if the extraterrestrials
’created’ us, who created them on their planet?" However, when I
personally interviewed Sitchin in Washington DC in 1995, his
point-blank answer to the question of the genesis of the
Anunnaki on their planet was "evolution." In this
interview, Sitchin was adamant that the ancient Sumerian
texts state that these physical beings created mankind as a "Primitive
Worker," for the express purpose of extracting gold from the
mines of Africa.
Yet, with the writing of his last book in the Earth Chronicles
series, Sitchin’s thinking had slowly evolved from this idea
that the Anunnaki were products of evolution on their
planet. As he later began to explain it, the Anunnaki
were "emissaries" of God. By the time he met
Monsignor Balducci earlier this year, Sitchin had long
made room for the possibility that the Anunnaki were
carrying out "the Almighty God’s wishes and plans," and did
not merely "come here for selfish reasons and to fashion us because
they needed workers." We must wonder what has caused Sitchin’s
change of heart.
As Balducci has argued,
"If such extraterrestrials
were so involved, even by your own interpretation they had to do
with Man’s physics, body and rationality; but God alone
had to do with the Soul!"
Sitchin’s second book, which
deals with "Man’s aspiration to ascend the heavens," is titled
The
Stairway to Heaven. Sitchin ended his conversation
with Msgr. Balducci by saying,
"it seems to me that we are
ascending the same stairway to heaven, though from different
steps."
Let me make it clear that I respect
Mr. Sitchin’s work, but I’m a little wary of this suggestion.
Call me paranoid, but are Sitchin and Balducci really
climbing the same ascending path, or has this path been
theologically "tweaked" in order to force its convergence? As
Sitchin explains, his approach is based on physical evidence,
and Balducci’s seeks the spiritual or divine aspects. Yet,
Sitchin claims, "our conclusions converged."
But it seems to me the problem
Balducci is having with the genetic engineering scenario
has still not been solved. As Balducci argues, "God
alone has to do with the Soul."
Now, where would traveling biochemists from another planet pick up
souls? What is a soul? Do these presumably humanoid beings have
permission to act as little ’gods’? This appeared to be on
Sitchin’s mind when I interviewed him in 1995, yet at the time I
couldn’t get him to drop the idea that Darwinian evolution does
not fit into this scenario. When I pressed the issue, he ended
the interview. In 1997, when I sent him the chapter from my book
questioning all this, he sent it back to me with the written remark,
"I don’t read unpublished manuscripts." I respect Mr. Sitchin’s
work, but I will continue to respectfully call attention to problems
I find with it. Let me outline those problems right now.
"Seeds": DNA or Creative Potential?
In my book Space Travelers and the Genesis of the Human
Form, I have noted the ’evolution’ of Sitchin’s
genetic engineering hypothesis, which essentially comprises a change
in heart regarding where the concept of God fits into the
picture. According to Sitchin’s translations published in
Wars of Gods and Men, Sumerian texts describe the
process whereby the semen of a chosen male Anunnaki
was combined with the egg of a female Earth hominid. The fertilized
eggs were then implanted into the wombs of female Anunnaki
"Birth Goddesses." In this way, the Anunnaki
began a slow process of genetically engineering a "Mixed Worker"
by binding upon the less evolved beings the "mold of the gods."
There was "considerable trial and error to achieve the desired
’perfect model’ of the Primitive Worker." It was truly a slow
process, for the hybrids were unable to reproduce and the
wombs of fourteen Birth Goddesses had to continually serve as
the containers. Eventually, the workers were put to work in the gold
mines of Africa.
The Sumerian Creation of Man story describes a second wave of
genetic manipulations which would enable the beings to procreate on
their own, since the initial hybrids were not able to do so. The
Biblical story of the creation tells that man and woman were not
created at the same time but, rather, the female was created (or as
Sitchin translates, "cloned") from the male. During
this operation, as the Bible tells us, a "rib" was
removed from The Adam - the first man. According to
Sitchin’s research, something was extracted from the "rib"
in order to "construct" the female. However, it is not clear
what this means. Sitchin points out that cloning
requires the least differentiated cells, so the stomach cells are
used. So, he surmises that being near the stomach, the rib had
something to do with a process of cloning.
Sitchin explains, since it is apparent that female workers
already existed, something was required from the male in order for
the female to become compatible for mating purposes. The clue to
what the rib supplied, Sitchin writes in Genesis
Revisited, lies in the translation of the meanings of the
Sumerian words for life, belly and clay.
Although the original Sumerian texts describing this process have
not yet been found, Sitchin surmises that it had something to
do with the genetic compatibility of the sperm and the egg. This
physical translation for a potentially esoteric event is typical of
Sitchin’s books.
As Balducci has noted, Sitchin’s approach is based on
physical evidence and is concerned with matter, not with spirit.
I have also noted that Sitchin’s translations are overly
based on physical interpretations. One of the most important
potential mistranslations I have noted is that Sitchin
assumes the Sumerian word for seed to mean "DNA."
This mistranslation may essentially be, in Balducci’s words,
"the key [to] the distinction between the material body and the soul
granted by God." This "key" may be discovered in the
writings of Vedic scholar, Richard Thompson, in his
book Alien Identities. Thompson indicates that the
word for a special type of ’seed’ in Vedic texts is called
bijas.
According to the ancient Vedic scripts, the Universe is under
intelligent control. High-level controllers - the Devas
- arrange for the "transmigration" of souls from one material body
to the next, in a process of movement toward higher consciousness.
The bodies of Brahma and the Devas,
which emanate from the Supreme Being, are made of "subtle
forms of energy," and do not contain DNA. But, they do
carry genetic information in the form of bijas,
or seeds, that are also made of subtle energy. For
humans to descend from the Devas, something else is
needed; a "transformation" must take place in order to
convert subtle energy into material substance. This sounds
strangely like Sitchin’s process.
It is evident here that there may be a problem with Sitchin’s
translation of seed as "DNA," and the
concept of bijas may be the missing ’substance’
which Sitchin’s analysis seeks - the soul which
can only be provided by the sacred or divine. This seed
(the bijas) is not to be confused with DNA.
These types of beings are able to generate any form of living being
by a combined process of mating and transformation of subtle
to gross energy - the infusion of divine soul into matter. The
conversion of genetic information from subtle form to gross form
involves the storage of different types of vibratory energy. The "seeds"
are this storage container.
The genetic engineering hypothesis may be a mistaken
translation of a more subtle process or transformational principle.
As Thompson maintains, the Vedic version of the origin of
humankind on Earth is not that they were "genetically engineered"
by crossing the DNA of the Devas with
the DNA of the primitive "ape-man," but that it
involved mating between Devas that generated human offspring
through the transformation of genetic and vibratory information. The
Indian Vedas teach that different humanoid races on
separate worlds were produced in this manner and, thus, have a
common ancestry. The Vedas state that the human
form is common in the Universe.
The Devas can be thought of as "archetypes," or as
giving birth to the archetypes for all living creatures on the
Earth. The Devas, along with other beings on that level or
higher, contain the capacity on the creative level to produce
offspring that are not of their own bodily type. As a matter of
fact, I was reading a magazine in a doctor’s office one day; I wish
I had it to show you. One of the artifacts that had been discovered
at an ancient Near East site portrayed a Birth Goddess
giving birth to a tiger or some similar beast. The beast was
coming right out through her legs! The archeologists were completely
puzzled by it. But it’s not puzzling at all if we read the
ancient Vedic creation documents.
The "seeds" of life may refer to a vibratory transference of
subtle energy to material energy, rather than to the physical
DNA structure. This would essentially be considered an act
of special creation. Indeed, if Sitchin has mistranslated
this transformational process to be equivalent to a physical
cloning process, his ’genetic engineering hypothesis’ is
actually a ’creation hypothesis.’ Sitchin doesn’t have
to ’make room’ for God. As a creative guiding intelligent
force, field, entity or MIND alive in all aspects of Universal
Creation, the life force from the Supreme Deity emanates down the
hierarchy of creative entities who transfer this energy to the
material plane.
As Balducci has offered,
"It is entirely credible that in the
enormous distance between Angels and humans, there
could be found some middle stage, that is beings with a body
like ours but more elevated spiritually."
Are there intermediaries who have
implicit ’permission’ to act as little ’gods’? This
notion of a "hierarchy" of seraphim and cherubim
appears to be at the bottom of the Balducci/Sitchin discourse.
Out of Africa
What kind of physical evidence does Sitchin actually deal
with in his books? He simply states,
"Evolution cannot account for the
appearance of Homo sapiens, which happened virtually
overnight in terms of the millions of years evolution requires,
and with no evidence of earlier stages that would indicate a
gradual change from Homo erectus."
Yet, this simple statement is
misleading. As I have noted in Space Travelers, the timeline
of Sitchin’s hypothesis is fairly consistent with the "Out
of Africa" evolutionary model put forward by mainstream
evolutionary theorists, including Richard Leakey in The
Origin of Humankind. If this model is accepted, mankind’s
lineage can be traced to 100,000 to 300,000 years before present,
which meshes with Sitchin’s dates. However, if we consider
alternative theories of the age of mankind based on marginalized
worldwide fossil evidence, the theory of the emergence of mankind
out of Africa during this crucial and set time period
is demolished, and Sitchin’s theory is ’dust in the wind.’
If Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson are correct,
mankind’s age is considerably older than either of these theories
might suggest, and, further, mankind’s emergence cannot be plotted
solely on a course winding out of Africa. In their book, Hidden
History of the Human Race, Cremo and Thompson
discuss various skeletal remains of anatomically modern humans, as
well as various human artifacts, which have been dated in the range
of 2 million all the way up to 55 million years B.P. (before
present). This furthest range would put human beings in the
early Pliocene era right along with the
emergence of the first mammals. Yet, such dates are considered "anomalous"
within the context of the currently accepted paradigm of human
evolution.
Why are these dates considered "anomalous"? Because they are
marginal in terms of the currently-accepted evolutionary paradigm.
This is due to the fact that the assumption of the progressive
evolution of humans from the great ape family guides the acceptance
and rejection of the evidence for evolution itself. In the study of
logic, this is known as a tautology. You start with a theory, and
only facts which support this theory are considered. So everything
inside of this neat little box is TRUE because no contradictory
facts are allowed to enter the box.
As I explain in great detail in my book, this is essentially what we
have with the prevailing theory of human genesis. Darwinian
evolution is a classic tautology. It is scientism, not
science. Scientism masquerades as true science and never
recognizes itself as a belief system based on an emotional
attachment to Western materialist philosophy. This is why
evolution stands at the top of the list along with politics
as a subject to avoid in the public arena. Yet, let me be so
bold as to bring a few questions to fore regarding this taboo topic,
and if I see a few red faces in the audience, I will perhaps regret
my mistake.
Recent discoveries have forced anthropologists to reconsider
the commonly-held paradigm that humankind evolved and dispersed in
the warmer climate of Africa. Some anthropologists now
believe a recently discovered Siberian site called
Diring to be one of the oldest Paleolithic sites in the
world, dating from between 1.8 to 3.7 million years B.P.
(before present). This Siberian site has produced more than
4,000 artifacts, with some 500 of them identified as stone tools.
The finding that Stone Age people lived this far north as
long as 3 million years ago upsets the prevailing Out of Africa
model in several ways. While some archeologists are not
convinced that the site is 3 million years old, all are convinced
that the site is at least 500,000 years old. What are humans doing
in Siberia even this long ago?
As Cremo and Thompson write, in the past, "anomalous"
evidence was often the center of serious controversy in
anthropology. Now, anomalous findings are rejected outright. Let’s
also consider the following evidence hidden in humanity’s closet:
-
Simple eolithic implements have been
discovered on the American continent in Pliocene strata dated at
2-4 million years
-
Primitive bone implements, as well
as shark teeth with holes for use as jewelry and carving
implements, have been found in Suffolk, England, in formations
dated at 2-55 million years
-
Simple chopping tools have been
discovered in Pakistan in formations dated at 2 million years.
Tools of the same age have also been found in Siberia and India.
(The authors point out that modern tribal people continue to
manufacture very primitive types of stone tools.)
-
A modern-type human jaw thoroughly
infiltrated with iron oxide was discovered in a quarry at
Foxhall, England, in a 16-foot level dated at 2.5 million years
-
Various finds in Argentina, along
with flint tools and intentional use of fire, indicate the
presence of humans in the Americas at least 3 million years ago
-
A modern human skull was discovered
in the Sierra Nevada mountains, under volcanic ash in a
gold-bearing gravel bed ranging in age from 9 to 55 million
years old. This is not an isolated discovery. The California
gold country has been a ’hotbed’ of human skeletal remains and
implements having this date range.
There is also strong evidence for the
presence of rounded stone bola makers in Argentina
approximately 3 million years ago. Stone bolas were used for hunting
by wrapping them in leather bags attached to a long cord, swinging
them overhead and letting go. Since this advanced technology
requires the presence of a leather working culture, bola stones
represent the presence of Homo sapiens during the late
Pliocene in South America. What are human beings doing in
the Americas 3 to 5 million years ago? This is very upsetting to
mainstream anthropologists, and they want to sweep it under the
rug. Louis B. Leakey and others have established that the
australopithecines of this age were not toolmakers, are not
considered to be part of the human lineage, and furthermore, they
were still confined to Africa. So who are these American
toolmakers? How does Sitchin deal with them? He doesn’t.
In addition, if we consider the view of the early catastrophists,
there is evidence that mankind has been created and destroyed on
the Earth many times over.
Immanuel Velikovsky stated this problem when he wrote
the following:
Even admitting that by Expulsion
from the Garden of Eden is allegorized a
catastrophe which quite destroyed mankind prior to the
great deluge, it is impossible to declare that it was the
first catastrophe. It depends on the memory of the peoples
which catastrophe they consider to be the first act of creation.
Human beings rising from some catastrophe, bereft of memory of
what had happened, regarded themselves as created from the dust
of the Earth. All knowledge of ancestors, who they were and in
what interstellar space they had lived, was wiped away from the
memory of the few survivors.
On this point, Velikovsky and
other early catastrophists had noted that the fossil record reflects
a series of creatures appearing all at once and fully formed,
and disappearing just as suddenly. To them, the facts seemed
to tell the story of a cycle of creation and destruction
of all life forms on the earth. The fossil record since Darwin’s
day continues to tell this story. It has never told anything but
this story. But "creation" is a dirty word in our scientific
culture.
In fact, there is evidence to suggest that fully modern Homo
sapiens appears to have existed in Africa,
Europe, India, America,
Australia, the British Isles, and now
Siberia at least two million years before present.
Taking into account only the more conventionally accepted evidence,
Cremo and Thompson have concluded:
"the total evidence, including
fossil bones and artifacts, is most consistent with the view
that anatomically modern humans have co-existed with other
primates for tens of millions of years."
Sitchin’s genetic engineering
hypothesis depends upon us not opening the closet door where
these anomalies in the human lineage are kept! Sitchin’s date
of 300,000 to 350,000 years B.P. for the genetic engineering of the
human race by the Anunnaki space travelers conflicts
with evidence of human beings scattered over the Earth long before
these dates.
As a matter of fact, Sitchin relays a curious account he
discovered in Sumerian texts. This story describes the humanoid
that lived on the Earth when the Anunnaki arrived. The
Anunnaki called them the "Black Headed Ones."
They are described by the Sumerians as being a friend to the
four-legged animals which the Anunnaki ate for dinner.
They were crafty and skillful enough to free their animal pals from
the Anunnaki traps. This is a description of a thoughtful
being; a being who is self-aware and capable of feeling; an alert
and crafty being with unusual manual dexterity, capable of planning,
scheming and conniving. Here we have a description of a naked
toolmaker and troublemaker: the human being! This isn’t simply a
description of a tool-maker; this is a tool un-maker. This is not an
"ape," capable of picking up a stick and using it to dig.
This, we are told, is what chimpanzees do.
This story suggests that human beings already existed on the
Earth prior to the Anunnaki settling of Sumeria. As a matter of
fact, there is worldwide evidence that space travelers
may have arrived from various places in the solar system in an
ongoing stream of settlements, settling in what we now call
Atlantis and
Mu,
long before the Great Deluge, and long before the arrival of
the Sumerian Anunnaki. These may be our American bola
sling makers... the ancestors of the Eskimos and the
American Indians. The problem we are presented with is this:
-
Can we actually say that any
Earth people are indigenous to this planet?
-
Are we all descendants of
human Visitors?
-
Is the human form actually
common in the Universe?
Another discrepancy with Sitchin’s
theory, that
the Anunnaki created humans
in their own image and after their own likeness, is the fact that
the Sumerians describe the Anunnaki as lizard-people;
as bipedal reptilian creatures with scaly skin who
preferred the water over the land. Sitchin avoids discussion
of how humankind could have been created by parents who were
lizards, when other sources have verified this odd fact. It has
also been suggested that the King James and other bibles have
removed these references out of their editions of the bible.
What we are looking at with Sitchin’s genetic engineering
hypothesis could be many things. Sitchin has chosen to
translate it his way, but there are other possible ways to
understand the Sumerian material. One possibility has to do with the
act of special creation. The Sumerian account may be a creation myth
which Sitchin is perhaps taking too literally, or shall we
say, too physically. Could this Sumerian account actually be
a religious text describing the special creation of man by the
Devas, hierarchical spirits who assist in the ongoing
creation and re-creation of all life forms after various cataclysms
on Earth? If Sitchin’s translation can be tweaked in this
way, perhaps he and Monsignor Balducci can ascend the same
Stairway to Heaven.
Acclimation Program
It is clear that this fabricated religious synthesis between a
Hebrew scholar and a Vatican official on the subject of
extraterrestrials heralds a momentous occasion approaching
what
Richard Boylan has called an
Acclimation Program. As Boylan reports, Balducci
has gone on Italian television repeatedly to declare that ET
visitations may be real. As the Church’s leading exorcist
and an expert on Demonology, he has announced that ETs
are "not of the devil," and are likely to be spiritually advanced.
Yet, the sexual and procreative nature of the abduction
phenomenon might indicate otherwise. According to the
Malleus Maleficarum, printed in 1486, the sexual activity
most often attributed to witches was sex with demons who assumed the
form of male or female (incubus or succubus) for the
purpose of having intercourse with humans. How can Balducci
be so sure this is not what is happening, especially if we
consider that the Anunnaki shapeshifters
were sometimes reptilian.
Is this not remarkable proof that the worldwide consciousness is
being "acclimated" to the existence of extraterrestrials?
Following the 1961 advice of a think tank called the Brookings
Institute, such an acclimation program might be designed to keep
religious doctrines intact. The discovery of extraterrestrial
life, the Brookings Report projected, would be
"electrifying" to the "illiterate and semiliterate" religious
masses.
Yet, strangely, of all groups which might be most affected by the
discovery of a superintelligence in the universe, the
Brookings Report seemed most concerned not about the so-called "illiterate
and semiliterate" religious masses, but about "
scientists
and engineers." The
Brookings Report stated,
"It has been speculated that, of all
groups, scientists and engineers might be the most
devastated by the discovery of relatively superior creatures,
since these professions are most clearly associated with the
mastery of nature."
The Brookings Institute warned
that meeting up with life forms who had such an advanced
understanding of nature might invalidate our own understanding of
nature. Of course, I’m happy to point out, the theory that would be
most invalidated by the discovery of advanced humanoid beings is
Darwinian evolution.
As this think tank warned in 1961, "it is very important to take
into account major religions." In keeping with this social control
scenario, Sitchin now presents his information a little
differently. In his presentation in Italy, with a high
Vatican official present, Sitchin made
sure he stated that in this act of creation, "the Anunnaki were
acting as Emissaries for the Universal Creator - God," and were
not merely acting selfishly to produce a mine worker. This can be
considered an act of special creation.
As Balducci told Sitchin, even if intelligent
spacefaring humanoids exist,
"in spite of what some people think,
we would be in a position to reconcile their existence with the
Redemption that Christ has brought us."
This statement alone, coming from
the
Vatican, is incredible. How would this
reconciliation be possible? According to Balducci’s
statements, it hinges on seeing these space travelers as some form
of angelic beings - rather than as demons.
-
Are we witnessing the
evolution of the Vatican’s modern genealogy of the angelic
kingdom?
-
A kinder, gentler Vatican
that believes there are no bad apples on the angelic family
tree?
-
Is this Vatican official
saying that the Biblical serafim and cherubim
travel in spaceships?
-
Is the Vatican coming
around to the ancient astronaut theory?
-
And what does this have to do
with Sitchin’s ’change of heart’?
-
Has Sitchin had a
Visitor experience - a visit by a high Vatican
official perhaps?
-
In this light, has Sitchin
been persuaded to alter his information for the good
of the planet?
