Descent into Madness And look into the madness, As it burns its tempered black. Could I remember purity And dream I had it back. But when I write of it, The ink burns to the page, Blots out the virgin white, disguises disgust and rage, Tempers all this living, the art that keeps me sane. We burned in hell to turn this black, To sing this verse and want it back To wonder at the piper’s song That called to us from night’s fall. The innocence has gone to be, To sleep the page and not with me; But with the page the purest white, Until with ink, contempt I write; And cover in the darkest black, All that’s been to Hell and back.

Advanced beings from somewhere in our galaxy descending on mountaintops, appeared to men in burning bushes. Angels, known as cherubim with four wings and wheels, flew with the sound of thunder. Beings, who ate, drank, and communicated with ancient biblical people, were Earth's first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization. We, the humans of today, refer to these beings as the God of the Bible. In this book, L. Sheldon Oldford compares the knowledge we have of science and technology to the characteristics of the biblical God as the unseen, ever-present, and all-knowing deity only to find that this being is more like a flesh-and-blood ancient astronaut. This astronaut arrived on Earth thousands of years ago and made contact with biblical figures, such as Adam, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Ezekiel, Elijah, and Elisha, which brought about the establishment of moral and religious laws that set humanity on a course of needing a savior. Could it be that Jesus Christ was an actual descendant of a flesh-and-blood father named Yahweh, a real-life ancient astronaut? Can a Christian believe in evolution and still be a Christian? Could it be that the ancient alien theory is closer to the truth than any of Earth's religions? Are we truly the product of an extraterrestrial race of giants, created in the image and likeness of them?
