There is a difrence between Demons and Aliens, my friend... You can summon demons, control them, force your will on them. They have been well know throughout the history, exorted by the bible. On the other hand Aliens are rather... how do i put it... unkown? They are present, yet unseen. We know little of them and we wait and hope that when they come, we will be able to control them...

My post obviously offends you if you want it off the alien boards so bad. Nowhere have I tried to convert anybody. Nowhere have I tried to force my beliefs on people. I'M ONLY PRESENTING EVIDENCE.

I think all we're really doing here is arguing over semantics... People explain their experiences and observations in the language of their times. Aliens and Demons can both be seen as interdimensional and malicious and their vehicles could be described as thrones, wheels within wheels or ufo's. We should really just call them entities or beings. The common thread is deception.

Good point. And I see no reason why there couldn't be both angels and demons, and both benevolent and malevolent aliens. For a person to say they believe in God, and then to say he/she/it didn't also possibly make other beings from other planets in this huge, spacious universe, then that's putting restrictions on God.
I think, if it shows up in a spaceship, then it's an alien.
One thing for sure is that we, as mere mortals, know nothing.
Gary has been speaking on the creation/evolution issue since 1990. For many years this was in a voluntary capacity as leader of the Western Australian Support Group of CMI-Aust. With a background in management and marketing, in 2002, he was invited to join the ministry full-time in Brisbane and eventually became its Head of Ministry. Much in demand for his popular lay talks on creation, in 2009, Gary and his family relocated to America to serve as CEO of CMI-US. He was also elected to the position of CEO of CMI-Worldwide, CMI's international Federation of ministries.

OP'er....it may have been pertinent to have pointed out that the presenter in the 1st video of your opening post, is a Gary Bates who is involved in some worldwide Ministry. This actually makes me even more suspicious as having some weakminded populace terrified about demons possibly hairing about in the skies above them may in fact, entice those very same people into the arms of his church.
For me, its the big sell scenario.

No,we don't know. None of us do. Not even you. Sure we can speculate, but that is about all we can do.
Now, no offense, but the bible is not exactly considered a legitimate source , by most.

There's nothing to debunk, you haven't provided any evidence that these things are demons. You've only posted opinions, and like you say, "an opinion could not buy you a pack of gum."
