I want to start off this topic by saying this: God is not an alien. I do not think God is an alien. I don't think that many others think He is an alien. The purpose of the title and the story/ discussion below is to mimic the absurdity felt by globe-believers towards The Flat Earth Theory.
One of the theories about the Flat Earth is that it is flat because someone decided to make it that way. Wheather that someone is an alien or divinity should not divide us.
This particular theory of A Higher Power does not gain a lot of support due to the conflicts with both extra-terrestrial life and religion. But there is POWER in NUMBERS. Rather than fight amongst ourselves about which higher power made the Earth, we should be thinking of them as one in the same.
Someone is up in the sky watching us, guiding us, and occasionally answers our calls. Over 6 billion people in this world believe in a God that does exactly this and there are wars fought over what we call Him. There are also people who beilve that the person in the sky (God) is of another species.
So what if God is an alien? Would that really be so different? He would still be an all knowing, all seeing, caring figure that began life as we know it.
If a God created this world, then he is not from this world. So is it wrong to say he is an alien?
One of the reasons that the Flat Earth theory is not accepeted by the mainstream media is the distiction between our planet and others. Mars may be round, Venus may be round, but our Earth was not designed to be a barren lifeless rock, circling around in space. Our planet is different, we have LIFE.
If the world was constructed by a higher being, with the skill to bioengineer a planet, would they construct it to be a globe? Surely a flat surface is easier to monitor, to control.
We know about gravity, relativly speaking, but there are an unlimited number of unknowns in this existance. The effects of negative mass, stabilized spacetime membranes, higher-dimensional bracing, or some kind of quantum vacuum tension could be what scientifically keeps the Earth where it is.
