Our last topic within possible future events related to spiritual advancement is genetic advancement. Is there a “God gene”, or genes which determine or influence spiritual 151 In the non moral realm, the formation of individual subatomic particles seems to be random, but also having a predictable pattern on a macro scale. God controls all this, and even if we knew God’s thoughts in the matter, he would always be one step ahead of our observations and predictions.

tendencies and insight, compassion, brotherhood, and should these be enhanced?
Regardless of any Vatican ruling on genetic enhancement,
it will be done in this world, sooner or later, and the results will be studied by all religious organizations. It may be as simple as a general intelligence upgrade: a man has much more spiritual understanding than a dog, and this may mostly be due to his higher reasoning. Of course there have been many intelligent atheists and villains.
We now broach a possible and unusual source for such genetic modification. At this point, all we can say is that it is within the realm of possibility. Alien visitation to earth, and
their abduction of thousands of men and women for
collection of reproductive DNA, and laboratory breeding of
hybrid alien-human persons could be a source of genetic
spiritual advancement.
The Vatican seems to admit to the possibility of other
intelligent life in the universe, and few bishops if any, would claim that extraterrestrial aliens are an impossibility…because they might just show up. In fact the Christian Church and
Judaism currently recognize nine extraterrestrial species:
seraphim,
cherubim,
thrones,
dominions,
powers,
principalities, virtues, archangels, angels, (all are reported in
the bible). All these extraterrestrial beings are tasked by God
with carrying out and maintaining creation.
In 2009 the Vatican hosted a conference on astrobiology,
investigating the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and has hosted other similar study groups. It would seem that the Vatican at least takes seriously the possibility of extraterrestrial beings.
If additional alien species exist beyond the currently recognized nine species, then we must ask: are they visiting 201
earth, and for what reason? If they are visiting earth and genetically advancing humanity, is their action in line with God’s plan, or is such genetic advancement hostile to God’s plan for humanity? Is such possible genetic advancement simply allowed by God…as is every action in creation?
Here is the theory: the thousands of men and women who
claim to have been abducted by aliens, are unanimous in saying the purpose is the alteration and hybridization of male sperm and female ova, with the aliens own DNA. Laboratory breeding then occurs to create a hybrid alien-human race who will inhabit earth. The alien-human hybrid embryo is placed into the womb of a female human. After a few months of development the fetus is removed for full development, birth and raising aboard the alien space craft for immediate or future return to earth. All this according to thousands of sane humans who claim to have been abducted by extraterrestrial aliens.
According to this theory, there will be few pure aliens or humans on earth in the year 2150, most will be alien-human hybrids, with no desire for war, greed, or pride, and having a greater understanding of God. The few statements the Vatican has released on the possibility of extraterrestrial life are positive.
Some reports have aliens somehow involved in “creating”
Jesus Christ, Buddha and others, this was a factor in the government’s decision for concealment, to prevent social despair and revolt. We observe here that Jesus Christ has both a created human nature, and a divine or non-created nature, (both within his single person). God may, and does, delegate the specific tasks of creation and maintenance, even of his own created nature, to anyone he wishes, including those we call aliens. In fact the extraterrestrial alien, who we call the angel Gabriel had a role in the conception of Jesus Christ, at a 202
minimum he obtained Mary’s consent. It is possible that he was also tasked with a role in creating the human embryo of Jesus within Mary. God does have a history of delegating tasks to the nine (known) extraterrestrial orders of Heaven.
We now briefly consider the question of additional
incarnations of the Trinitarian Son of God, beyond the single known incarnation of Jesus Christ. Just as few bishops are willing to deny at least the possibility of extraterrestrial aliens…because one day they just may show up; so too we may one day become aware of additional incarnations of the Son of God. Certainly, additional, alien incarnations of the Trinitarian Son of God are well within the abilities of God. Here the reader may review a brief theology of the Trinity in the appendix of this book.
We recall that the only Son of God is the Trinitarian Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This second person of the Trinity of God, is called Christ. Jesus Christ is simply a human extension of the Trinitarian Son of God. With the birth of Jesus Christ, there are not two Son’s of God, and there will not be three Son’s of God if the Trinitarian Son of God were to extend himself as an alien, that is a non earth being. We would expect that any alien incarnation of the Son of God, would have his purpose in making divine union with the alien species. We observe that there have existed billions of additional species of Christ on earth…these are the Eucharistic breads and wine.
Simply by weight of numbers and averages, if an alien incarnation of the Son of God does exist, he likely existed even before Jesus Christ, and offered union with himself to his particular species, thousands of years before our own last supper/first communion. This would place Christianity (union 203
of Christ and creation), thousands of years before the human Jesus Christ.152
____________________________________
We have introduced the idea of an advanced alien species,
enhancing human genetics, thereby producing a humanity that is more aware of God, and more proficient in spiritual advancement toward God. If we remove the unproven alien influence,
we
still
have
ongoing
natural
genetic
evolution…which will eventually produce a more spiritually aware human being.
We return to our example of the pet dog. The dog has no
awareness of God, or his own purpose in life. This same pet dog is now undergoing natural genetic evolution and advancement. Whether extraterrestrial beings exist or not,
human and animal evolution will continue. It will continue, (assuming we survive our own violence), to the point of our spiritual awareness of God, to a degree higher than presently had.153
152 A second, known instance of this idea of Christianity occurring before Jesus Christ, is the known union of angels (and the other Heavenly orders), with Trinitarian Christ. Christ’s communion with the angels makes Christianity as old as this first communion. The date for Christianity is pushed back thousands of years prior to Jesus. We recall that Christianity at its core is communion into Christ, which is exactly what occurred with the good angels. We are certain that the angels were judged, with some not making their intended union with the divine Christ. This judgment was actually their intended communion into Christ. Just like humans, angels were intended for divine communion from the beginning, (CCC 398). This divine inclusion of the angels into Christ dates the formation of Christianity to a time earlier than the last supper, with the first communicants being the angels, rather than the apostles. Was St.
Michael the archangel the first Pope of Christianity?
153 The principle of evolution is a fact, but its full extent is unknown.
Because organisms do evolve for increased survival in their ecosphere, does not prove that man evolved from proto ape. Consider the possibility that God brought Adam into existence via evolution, while bringing Eve 204
