How do you think the two ideas differ - besides what they are called God/s-Aliens?
> 
> I think the biggest difference is not in the creatures themselves, or the stories, but rather in our interpretation of them. When most people think "Alien" they think of creatures from light years away, and perhaps unbelievable strange, but they are almost always solid, physical creatures based on physical realities and working with advanced technology. 
> 
> This is different in kind than the concept of spirit creatures, which live on a different plane of existence entirely, one that either borders, or overlaps to some extent, our own. These spirit creatures were not shown as being technologically advanced so much as they were as having a more direct connection with the fundamental forces of physics/nature. Angels, and even god to an extent, are generally presented as being both extremely primal in an elemental sense and extremely sophisticated in an intellectual sense at the same time, as if they have no need for technology as such because their advancement was internal whereas ours has been external.

> On the topic of out of place artifacts (OOP's), I think that the simplest explanation is that previous earth cultures were more advanced. The irony of ironies is that most people do not see the same type of progression within our own culture and say that there would be evidence. Yet, in our own society, we have made a push to make everything bio-degradebale and reduce/eliminate our impact on the environment. So if humanity were to disappear, it would not take more than a couple of centuries to eradicate all traces of us. Ancient civilizations started using technologies like rammed earth construction, which we forego and are now coming back to as natural resources and economic meltdowns become more clearly imminent. Basically, I think there is a cyclical pattern to human development, and that we are reaching the same critical mass that our ancestors were before they were cut off.-Tony,-I just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten your reply and truly appreciate the level of integrity at which you replied to my thoughts on these things. I've been ruminating a lot on your info above and have some questions forming which I hope to be able to take time soon to articulate and write down along these lines. -Taking care of my parents (88 & 81) in these last months has my mind sometimes feeling it's turning to mush so that full sentences that make sense doesn't seem readily available.
