[Sons to Glory!]

This is certainly not an "article of the faith" topic by any means. However, I seem to be seeing a trend in things, and I wondered if there are others on here who are thinking in a similar way. (I'm not the first by any means - one can certainly find other Christians who have written books, or have websites, that are thinking like this too.)

Two areas I'm considering:

1) Many view science and technology as being the ultimate savior of mankind. The explosion of technology is astounding. And we are getting into some pretty far out things such as advanced artificial intelligence, biogenics and the manipulation thereof, and even paring the two together.

2) At the same time humans have an extreme fascination with space and the possibility of extra-terrestrials. This is fueled all the more with the reports of unexplained phenomena such as UFOs, alien abduction, crop circles, etc.

I am beginning to have the thought that the way many will be deceived will be a combining of the two above things. It will very hard to resist if someone shows up who can demonstrate an absolute superior mastery of technology (apparently producing life itself?), and appears to come from light years away, who lays claim and responsibility for mankind being here . . .

Thoughts? Has this been discussed before here?
