5.0 out of 5 stars Well founded arguments, June 29, 1998

By A Customer

The chapters against alien abductions, crop circles, etc, are well founded and factual. Many die hard alien lovers are having a hard time giving up their beliefs in the face of books like this that set the facts straight. Wilkenson also shows "life out there" doesn't contradict biblical teachings and how Jesus definently wasn't a space alien.
