Erich von Daniken's fantasies about extraterrestrial visitors all revolve around this format: Some feature exists in an ancient human civilization which (according to von Daniken) cannot be explained as a normal technological development, so presto! It becomes proof of extraterrestrial visitors, embellished with a hearty portion of von Daniken's imagination. The author, Clifford Wilson, shows how many of the things cited by von Daniken are either outright fantasy, or can be readily explained by then-current technology and without extraterrestrial visitors. It is a shame that so many people are unaware of the technical achievements of ancient "pre-scientific" peoples.

This book's focus is on the 'teaching/doctrine' of these so-called 'aliens.' It catalogs not only a point by point refutation of Von Daniken's theories, but exposes an alien philosophy that is clearly anti-Christ. Wilson is warning Christians to not be fooled by beings that bring another gospel (of peace and love), while denying the Biblical truth of original sin, judgment and need for a sinless Savior/Messiah to forgive them.

This book is not worth 1 cent of your money. In this book, Clifford Wilson tries to write off von Daniken as wrong and reveal to the world how von Daniken's theories were illogical. The fact is this:his arguments revolved around the idea that Christians knew better than to believe that "God" was nothing more than an alien, which were even weaker than von Daniken's illogical jumps!

The fact is this:there is no way around von Daniken. Despite the fact that most of his arguments were illogical, he presented lots of interesting points, and most of his illogical arguments were fixed in his sequels.

So don't waste your money on this.
