The Alien Delusion: Why People Aren’t Using Their Brains

So the aliens came from a thousand light-years away to Earth and they’re still trying to hide from us. That’s kind of curious. They had to travel a thousand light-years to Earth, and then they had to travel a thousand light-years back to where they came from. And they’re still trying to hide from us. That’s really laughable.

So the biggest thing I see with this alien thing is that aliens have come here and are trying to hide it from us. The government is trying to hide from us the fact that aliens have come here. People are not using their brains. And that’s the biggest problem we’ve had with mankind since Adam and Eve. They did not use their brains.

And let me put some real numbers on that “thousand light-years” claim, because it’ll show you just how laughable it is. The closest known potentially habitable exoplanet to Earth is Proxima Centauri b — and it’s only 4.2 light-years away, not a thousand. Voyager 1, the fastest spacecraft humans have ever built, has covered about 1/390th of a single light-year in 46 years. At its current speed — roughly 1/17,600th the speed of light — it would take Voyager about 75,000 years just to get to that closest neighbor. Not a thousand. The next closest. And we’re supposed to believe aliens routinely zip back and forth across distances 250 times greater? Then play hide-and-seek when they get here?

Power Thought: Never get into a shell game on the streets of New York. You are going to lose. It is rigged for you to lose your shirt. Keep walking. Similarly, when someone claims aliens have visited or are visiting Earth — keep walking.

Deception Is Most Effective When We Don’t Use Simple Reasoning

So God said you can eat of every tree of the garden except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because if you do — if you touch it — you will surely die, right? So they decided to do exactly the only thing that they could not do. Practically speaking, they decided to break the one rule that God told them they could not do. I mean come on, that’s not using your brain.

So we’re fearfully and wonderfully made and they decided not to use their brains. They say that Adam named all of the animals; Adam was a genius, okay? So they had the life and they completely destroyed their life. Adam had a Fortune 500 job; all he had to do was take care of the garden. That was his job; that was his career. I mean really, that was his inheritance. God created it and said, “Adam, my son, go ahead and take care of it for me with your wife.” In so many words.

But when he sinned, guess what he had to do. He had to work by the sweat of his brow. It’s kind of like inheriting a Fortune 500 business from your father, messing it up by doing something really stupid because you didn’t use your brain, and now you’re a janitor at that same place. You could have been calling the shots there, but now you’re a janitor, taking a big pay cut. Instead of running things, you’re working in the very offices you should have been managing.

Power Thought: Whenever there are government grants and funding — and separately, Hollywood movies and organizations that monetize the alien topic — we need to look for false flags, motives, and grifts concerning the existence and activities of aliens.

And the money is real. The Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) requested $11 million in fiscal year 2024 alone. New Jersey lawmakers advanced legislation in late 2025 to create the nation’s first state-funded UAP research center with $2.5 million in proposed university grants. On the entertainment side, Hollywood has built billion-dollar franchises on this — Alien, Independence Day, Arrival, E.T., Men in Black, Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe — pulling in tens of billions of dollars combined. When something this big has this much money flowing through it, you’d better believe somebody has motive to keep the story alive.

The Alien Delusion

That’s practically what happened to Adam and Eve, and with that came a higher level of deception. So Adam and Eve allowed Satan to deceive them out of their blessings. He got them to see what God said as totally wrong; he messed up their perspective of God. The serpent, Satan, made Adam and Eve think that God was a liar and not him. They believed the serpent instead of believing God. So that’s exactly what’s happening with the UFO sightings. The Devil is just messing with your head, and people are believing that there are actually aliens out there.

When the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that aliens do not exist — yet you’ve never seen one but are sure they exist because someone is trying to hide them from you — you have to ask yourself what’s actually going on.

And here’s the kicker: the government’s own official report says there’s nothing there. In March 2024, AARO released its Historical Record Report Volume 1, which reviewed every official U.S. government UAP investigation from 1945 to the present and found “no empirical evidence” of alien technology. The report also rejected the claims of insiders pushing the “Kona Blue” reverse-engineering program as “without merit.” Of the cases AARO reviewed in fiscal year 2024, every single one of the 49 resolved cases turned out to be balloons, birds, drones, satellites, or aircraft — including a lot of Starlink launches. The other 444 cases went into the archive because there wasn’t enough data to even analyze them. Not aliens. Just stuff.

So then you have the second biggest psyop by Satan: getting people to actually kill their Messiah. It’s really impressive to actually convince people to kill the God that created them — who actually came to Earth to rescue them from the sin that Adam created in the garden.

So the devil actually got you and me to put Jesus Christ on the cross. He actually got the Jews to kill the Messiah who was prophesied to come to them for thousands of years going back to the Garden of Eden, when God said to the serpent Satan that the woman would bruise your heel.

And so the devil was able to get the Jewish people to crucify the Savior, the Messiah that God prophesied to them while they were in bondage to the Romans. They handed Him over. Now tell me how stupid this is: the Jews handed over their Messiah to the Pharisees and to the Romans who were abusing them, instead of serving their Messiah.

Mankind’s biggest problem is failing to use our brains, messing up what God has given us, and listening to the devil instead.

Our Personal, National, and World Problems Come from Lack of Brain Usage

I see it every day. I do it sometimes. You do it sometimes. And some people are really, really good at it. They’re really good at it. I thank God that I’m not that good at it, but you know — some people are really really good at that. They just don’t use their brain.

And unfortunately that’s what we’re doing here with this alien thing. Look at the problems of the world: drug trafficking, the national debt, wars and rumors of wars — World War I, World War II, World War III. Tens of millions of people have died because of stupidity and foolishness — just people not using their brains. (Quick context: WWI killed roughly 20 million; WWII somewhere between 70 and 85 million; the global death toll from preventable famine, drug overdoses, and conflict in just the past five years runs into the millions more.) And so now the devil has convinced people that there’s some kind of alien technology, some alien ship, some alien body lying somewhere in Area 51 that the government is hiding — some kind of alien discovery. “Oh, we’re sure the aliens came here.”

And people just won’t read the Bible and see that Satan is the prince of the power of the air.

Satan Is the Great Dragon and Sly Serpent: Alien Delusion

The Bible calls Satan the great dragon and the ancient serpent. This shows respect to Satan. We must understand that he has great abilities we must reckon with. (Revelation 12:9)

Satan is running around the earth trying to see whom he can destroy. His greatest power is deception: convincing you and me that something is happening that’s not really happening.

So this is a good chance for us to learn again about Satan. I mean, Lucifer is very convincing; he convinced one third of an innumerable host of angels in heaven to rebel against the Almighty, all-loving God. So he’s pretty convincing.

Satan the Most Cunning Beast: Alien Tricks

The first thing God says about Satan in Genesis chapter 3 is that the serpent is the most cunning beast in the field. So there’s no way that we can outsmart Satan. (Genesis 3:1)

He’s really smart, and since the Bible calls humans sheep, guess what? We’re not that smart. So that means we have to depend on the Shepherd, who is Jesus Christ. He is a good Shepherd; He defends us from the wolf that Jesus says comes in sheep’s clothing. The wolf will come and act as if he is one of us. That’s what happened to Eve; he made her think that he was on her side, and that if she listened to him he would help her against the bad old God that was trying to keep things from her.

[Wolf illustration talking to Eve, saliva dripping from his mouth — to Eve he looks like a sheep. Satan is an angel of light…]

Then the devil tried the same trick on Jesus. He tried to act like, “Hey Jesus, if you would just listen to me I can help you.” Jesus was like, “Man, go take a hike, because I don’t need you. I’m listening to my Father in heaven.”

Jesus used his understanding. Adam and Eve didn’t. Jesus understood who he was; Adam and Eve lost that understanding because they allowed the serpent to trick them out of it. And Jesus stood on the word of God.

And so that’s what we have to do. We have to stand on the Word of God. People don’t know the word of God; they aren’t standing on it. People aren’t hungry and thirsting after righteousness. This is the problem — the reason why people are being deceived and think that aliens are out there.

Itching ears — see 2 Timothy 4:3.

Alien Visitation to Earth Is Built on a Very Bad Scientific and Theological Premise

So the whole premise of aliens first involves this question: how can something that doesn’t exist accomplish something highly improbable and implausible — like traveling thousands of light-years from its home planet to Earth? Furthermore, even if aliens did exist, why would they want to come to Earth? These are huge questions people aren’t even considering. They have no idea even how it works. They just heard someone claim that aliens must exist.

Let me put a number on the “highly improbable” part. According to engineering research, sending even a small probe to the nearest star would require at least 100 times the total annual energy output of the entire planet, according to Brice Cassenti at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Even at 1% the speed of light — a speed humanity is nowhere close to achieving — it would still take 436 years to reach Proxima Centauri b. The Parker Solar Probe, our fastest object, only briefly hits 0.06% of light speed during its sun flybys. So when somebody tells you aliens are casually flying here from a thousand light-years away, ask them: with what propulsion system? Powered by what? At what speed? They don’t have an answer. They’ve never thought about it.

But the thing is, first of all you have to explain to me how aliens were created, okay? If you don’t even know how you were created, how can you explain to me how aliens were created? People don’t even believe that God created them, and that’s the first problem. If you don’t believe that God created you, that’s why you’re talking about aliens — because you don’t believe the most important thing in your whole life: how did you get here? So you got that wrong.

So you believe in the Big Bang? That’s your problem. We have to start right there: you believe that you came from nowhere, that the universe came from nothing to something. That’s your big problem right there — the Big Bang is your big problem. You’re not using your brain.

And here’s where it gets really interesting. Even mainstream science is in crisis over this right now. Cosmologists are calling it the “Hubble tension” — and as of late 2025, it sits at a 5-sigma statistical discrepancy, which in science is the threshold for “this is a serious problem, not a rounding error.” Two completely different ways of measuring how fast the universe is expanding give two different answers that can’t be reconciled: one method says about 73 km/s/Mpc, the other says about 67.4 km/s/Mpc. The John Templeton Foundation has called it “the biggest crisis in astronomy.” That’s not a Christian apologist talking — that’s the astrophysics establishment.

Then the James Webb Space Telescope (a $10 billion dollar instrument) launches in 2021, points at the early universe, and starts finding galaxies that — by the standard model’s own rules — shouldn’t exist. Massive, fully-formed galaxies sitting there only 300 to 700 million years after the supposed Big Bang. Scientists at Penn State literally called them “universe breakers.” Joel Leja said it “calls the whole picture of early galaxy formation into question.” A 2023 paper in the journal Nature called it the “impossibly early galaxy” problem. So the very theory people are leaning on to justify their belief in aliens is, by mainstream science’s own admission, falling apart.

[Insert: Big Bang, Rock Soup, Monkeys, Human Evolution, Aliens… Meme]

The second problem is that after the Big Bang, they believe it took billions and billions of years. Then, once those billions of years passed, the Earth and the Sun were created. After that, human beings evolved on Earth from “rock soup,” eventually turning from monkeys into human beings.

So you believe in cosmic evolution and then human evolution. If you believe that, you aren’t using your brain. That’s the biggest problem human beings have: we aren’t using our brains. You are listening to what somebody else told you, which is very flawed. Does that make any sense?

And on the “rock soup turning into life” part — that’s called abiogenesis, and even secular scientists admit they’re stuck. There is currently a $10 million Origin of Life Prize sitting unclaimed for anyone who can give a plausible naturalistic explanation for how life began. Scientific American itself, back in 2011, conceded that scientists “don’t have a clue how life began.” A 2025 mathematical study by Robert G. Endres at Imperial College London concluded that the chances of life spontaneously arising on early Earth are “astronomically small.” Even Francis Crick — co-discoverer of DNA — was so frustrated with the math that he proposed aliens seeded life on Earth (which, of course, just kicks the question one planet down the road and proves my point).

So now you’re extrapolating cosmic and human evolution and thinking that if we evolved from rock, then surely alien civilizations also evolved across the universe. Therefore they are out there somewhere with advanced technology and have visited us.

Let me tell you — I love science fiction. I’m there. Star Trek, Star Wars — count me in. But it’s just science fiction. It’s not actually real. No one has ever seen an alien before. This is just something we made up. Okay? We must understand that these things are a figment of our imagination, and we should just have fun with it.

We enter dangerous territory when we think that other beings from other planets are visiting Earth. The devil can use this — just as he has used evolution to harm us, he can also use this alien psyop against us.

The Pentagon has investigated this for nearly 80 years now, going back to Project SAUCER (1946–1947), Project SIGN, Project GRUDGE, Project BLUE BOOK (1947–1969, which logged 12,618 sightings), the UAP Task Force, and now AARO. After almost a century of looking, the official conclusion remains: no empirical evidence of alien technology.

Use your brain. Read the Word. Don’t get played.
