Im fairly new to all these ideas. Ive been going through your content and Billy Carson's content. I also read a Master thesis by Luuk Odekerken from Leiden University that focuses heavily on Sitchin. I cant really explain why, but for some reason I cant help but feel these concepts to be true.

I have always felt religious, but had a desire to find a way to connect ideas from all around the world... Because how could so many be completely wrong? It seems to me that someone is more likely to believe if they feel spiritual but open to an alternative interpretation to the writings of the Bible. I think the connections to many cultures and that when you consider the Book of Enoch actually further strengthens my faith. I have two questions...

1) What is the most straightforward justification that these thoughts are not blasphemy when discussing them with family and friends? Without being prepared to provide hours and hours of discussion I want to be able to at least state why this isnt straight blasphemy, and with your background I think you are the best suited to help me with answer.

2) I recently found the author Brian Godawa. He seems to heavily focus on telling the stories of the bible how he imagines it when considering things such as the Book of Enoch. If your familiar I was curious how his thoughts align with your beliefs?

So sorry to have missed this message.

How have you gone in progressing those conversations. When I am dealing with the kind of people who might reach for the word "blasphemy" I always try and focus on returning to the Biblical texts and asking "What is the Bible telling us here?" "What is the most fundamental translation of these words?" The story of palaeocontact is there in the Bible, so my agenda is to show what the Bible is presenting. It's not an attack on God or the Bible.

Bible vs tradition is a well worn dichotomy that might be worth repeating for believers in the reformed / protestant half of the church.

I hope that's a helpful, albeit rather late answer!

How have you got on in sharing some of these ideas in 2025?

Wishing you and yours Health and Peace, Paul
