UFO over Knoxville

I was taking a sunset photo tonight - captured a UFO that looks like a Star Trek shuttle over Knoxville, Tennessee.

It begs a question: if life exists in other planets in the universe, what does that do to the uniqueness of Christianity?

Did you see it with the naked eye and was it moving?

I only discovered it Jodie on the photograph when I was downloading it from my camera. It really surprised me.

If you examine it closely you will notice that its edges are out of focus compared to the clouds and the trees.

That means most likely the object was much closer than the trees. The shutter speed was quite fast given the light conditions (point and shoot camera on auto?)

It was probably a small gnat floating very close to the camera (it appears to have a wing sticking out one side), or maybe even a blemish on the lens.

Or an interplanetary vehicle moving in and out of phase too fast to get a fix on it. Keeps it out of view from radar and most other sensors - except the occasional lucky point and shoot camera.

Very perceptive, Jodie.

Now, what about the theological question: how does life on other planets affect our faith?

Jodie said...

I don't think it affects our faith at all, except all those Wycliffe bush pilots will have to learn how to fly spaceships and eat Gagh. I suppose >that< could challenge your faith.

I always thought that the OT words chokmah (wisdom) and hesedh (loving kindness) were Klingon words anyway.
