Scientizing Ufology

Last updated on: December 27, 2024 at 5:05 pm   By Ted Peters

Credentialed scientists are now engaging in UAP studies. Hooray! Even so, some dimenstions to the UFO phenomenon -- paranormal and abduction narratives -- do not fit within scientific parameters. How should ufologists proceed? Read more

Last updated on: August 21, 2025 at 5:23 pm   By Ted Peters

If you can find an actual American Christian Nationalist to interrogate, you'll hear something like this: the Christian church should take control of the government and rule society according to biblical laws.
