Second, have you ever wondered why we always refere to God as being "up there somewhere"?
First being this, I was reviewing this site once (can't remember the site damnit) where it pointed out old French Frescos and other paintings from the the 1400's of the birth of Jesus. Hidden within the painting, in the background is that of a little boy, his dog, looking up at a UFO. I have also looked at other paintings of the same scenerio: Jesus and a UFO hidden in the background somewhere. Now here is the catch: back when those paintings were done there was no concious (social) understanding of UFO's! They simply didn't know they existed. So why is it the painter of those painting would produce such a crazy idea... unless of course the idea isn't really crazy at all.

There were alot of paintings in medievel Europe featuring strange objects in the skies. Just because someone painted it doesnt mean it was actually there. Just like the last supper painting. Do you really think they would all be sitting on one side of the table? All the paintings of Jesus were of him being white with blue eyes, brown hair and a beard. He was probably tan with brown eyes, maybe a beard. The painters probably saw these strange flying crafts and implanted them in the paintings because to them it was normal to see them. Just as to them being white was normal. Maybe some of the painters thought they were angles and so they figured that there were angles there and painted them.
And how would a painter know it was there 1400 years after it happend? There are no mentions of anything like it in the New Testiment.
There are paintings of mermaids and such but you dont see anyone saying theyre real or anything.

yeah but i think if you gonna put in the time to paint a *photographic* painting, which could take many years, i dont think your going to put a irrelivant craft in the sky just because you saw it a few weeks ago. I would assume it would have had a reason and relivance to the paintings subject matter.

Well if these strange sightings were a normal occurance then they would figure they were there also

going to the toliet is a normal occurance, people eating is a normal occurance... why aren't they in the painting also?

Wish i had a copy of that fresco i could post, i'll have to look at it.

Why not? If you saw a person like thing inside a flying thing wouldnt you think it was an angle or something else from you religion?
