ET, Go Home: The Physics of Interstellar Travel and Why the “Aliens” Are Actually Biblical (Part 3)

As we continue unpacking the so-called “alien” phenomenon, it’s worth turning our gaze to science and history, both of which throw significant shade on the idea of interstellar travelers dropping by for cattle mutilations and light shows. While science fiction makes it seem easy, the reality of interstellar travel is a physics nightmare. The distances are mind-boggling, the energy requirements are astronomical, and the time involved makes even watching paint dry feel quick-paced. If aliens are here, as some claim, they aren’t cruising around in hyper-speed spaceships—they’ve got to be something else entirely.

First, let’s tackle the physics. The nearest star system, Alpha Centauri, is over 4 light-years away—that’s roughly 24 trillion miles. To get there at the speed of NASA’s fastest spacecraft, it would take tens of thousands of years. Faster-than-light travel, like warp drives or wormholes, remains purely theoretical and riddled with issues like causality violations and infinite energy requirements. In short, aliens zipping across the galaxy to probe a few humans and spook some cows seems less plausible than your grandma becoming a TikTok influencer. The laws of physics just don’t favor interstellar road trips.

But what about ancient aliens? Maybe they came billions of years ago and “seeded” life on Earth. This idea, known as panspermia, suggests that life’s building blocks came from somewhere else in the universe. It’s an interesting theory, but it raises a big question: If life came from an extraterrestrial source, who created them? The chain of causation has to end somewhere, and for Christians, it ends with the God of the Bible. God isn’t an alien in the Hollywood sense—He’s the creator of the universe itself, outside time, space, and matter. If Earth was “seeded,” the “alien” who did it wasn’t some intergalactic tourist—it was God.

Interestingly, even modern religious leaders are wading into this conversation. Recently, Pope Francis entertained the hypothetical question of whether aliens could be baptized, suggesting that even extraterrestrial life would fall under God’s creation. While this might sound progressive, it also underscores a key theological point: Whatever “aliens” are, they are subordinate to God. Whether we’re talking about microbes on Mars or hypothetical intelligent life, all things are subject to the Creator. In this sense, the debate isn’t really about aliens versus God—it’s about understanding God’s dominion over all things, seen and unseen.

So, where does that leave us? If “aliens” exist, they are either impossible visitors defying the laws of physics or ancient entities created by God. Given the improbability of the former, it’s more reasonable to view the latter through a biblical lens. What’s being sold as extraterrestrial might just be a cosmic sleight of hand, designed to distract us from the truth. If anyone is trying to “seed” Earth today, it’s not aliens—it’s the same demonic forces that have been at work since Eden. And the next time someone asks if aliens can be baptized, the better question might be: Can humanity stop being deceived long enough to recognize the Creator standing right in front of us?
