Gods Come from Space

The reader is offered a version of the origin of religions and myths. The authors of the article present a viewpoint they believe is supported by “many facts,” suggesting that religion arises from an attempt to explain patterns of technology in an era when scientific development did not even allow such interpretations to be imagined.

But the authors try to convince the reader that the details of religious stories and mythical tales are nothing more than a retelling of contact with alien civilizations. Brothers in reason intervened in history’s development—and then for some reason distanced themselves. Where is the truth? Is it possible to explain the origin of religion as people’s misconceptions about the actions of representatives of a non-human civilization?
