Are Aliens Real — or Are We Missing the Point?
In this episode of A Lot of Words, Pastor Matt Smith and Brett take a clear-eyed, biblical look at one of the most common questions Christians are asking today: Are aliens real—and if they are, what does that mean for our faith?
From Genesis 6 and the Nephilim to angels, demons, and the unseen spiritual realm, this conversation challenges the modern obsession with UFOs and asks whether “aliens” are even the right category to begin with. Instead of chasing speculation or conspiracy theories, the discussion brings everything back to Scripture—and to a God who is far more powerful, terrifying, and awe-inspiring than anything science fiction can imagine.
