About this ebook

This novel interprets Biblical history through the lens of an alien species and their complex relationship with the human race.
These aliens have been involved in human history since Adam and Eve, and throughout Biblical history, humanity has responded to these aliens in many ways -- the most significant textual responses being scattered throughout Biblical texts.

And the Humans Wrote delves deeply into how humans have responded to alien involvement through the wonders of the written word.
After claiming a small island in what later became known as the Aegean Sea, one of the first laws the aliens enacted was the segregation law, meant to protect sacred alien genetics from lower quality human DNA. Thus, a law was enacted that no aliens may cross over to the holy lands, and no human may pass over to the aliens’ segregated island. And the humans wrote,

There is a great chasm fixed between us; no one from our side who wants to reach you can cross it, and none may pass from your side to us.
-Luke 16:26

Humanity has yet to see what the aliens have done to Christianity – now it's time for humanity to truly understand the origins and purposes of their culture through a reinterpretation of one of humanity’s oldest texts.

In the aliens’ own words: “This is not a story about faith. It is a document telling you why we came to this planet. It tells the story of how we were vain and arrogant enough to think that we could improve on your creation. We tell you what we did to your DNA and how it greatly influenced your holy writings. Our ancestors did not come to this planet to become your god. You made us your god.”

Now it is time to set things right again.

    Prologue

    This is not a story about faith. It is a document telling you why we came to this planet. It tells the story of how we were vain and arrogant enough to think that we could improve on your creation. We tell you what we did to your DNA and how it greatly influenced your holy writings.

    Our ancestors did not come to this planet to become your god. You made us your god.

    It is we, the ancestors of the aliens who came to you so long ago who now write to you.

    ***

    After claiming a small island in what later became known as the Aegean Sea, one of the first laws we enacted was the segregation law. Because of our similar genetic code, we knew that we could breed with you and create new species on this planet. The question being, why would we want to dilute our perfect genes with your barbaric strain? Our Royal Blood was the most revered. Thus, a law was enacted that none of us may cross over to the mainland and no human may pass over to our island. And the humans wrote,

    There is a great chasm fixed between us; no one from our side who wants to reach you can cross it, and none may pass from your side to us. (Luke 16:26)

    ***

    There came a time when we decided to enhance your flawed genetics and make you more like us. In an effort to eliminate your inherent killer gene, the mysterious DNA coding that made you killers and heathens, we took our perfect DNA and genetically adapted it to your barbaric codes. Understandably, humans at that time had no understanding of cloning or taking genes from us and giving you a genetic upgrade. They naturally related what we had done to you by means of their cultural comprehension of it. Instead of saying that we took our DNA and cloned it into yours, the humans wrote.

    And so the Lord put the man in a trance, and while he slept, he took one of his ribs and closed the flesh over the place. The Lord then built up the rib, which he had taken out of the man, into the woman. (Gen. 2: 21)

    ***

    After a few generations on this planet desperate adjustments were called for. It was time to amend the Royal Blood Law, time to allow many of our sons to leave our island, take human wives, and have children by them. And the humans wrote,

    The sons of gods saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; so they took for themselves such women as they chose. (Gen. 6:2)

    ***

    Many generations later we made it clear to Moses that all the Levites, the best of our experimental groups, belonged to us. None of this family shall be available for the draft. And the humans wrote,

    The Lord spoke to Moses and said, ‘I take the Levites for myself out of all the Israelites as a substitute for the eldest male child of every woman; the Levites shall be mine.(Num. 3:11)

    ***

    Our craft came for Ezekiel and the humans wrote,

    I saw a storm wind coming from the north, a vast cloud with flashes of fire and brilliant light about it; and within was radiance like brass, glowing in the heart of the flames. In the fire was the semblance of four living creatures in human form. (Ezek. 1:2)

    Chapter 1

    In Search of Our God

    It is we, the descendants of the aliens who came to you so long ago who now write to you. Our ancestors did not come to this planet to become your god. You made us your god. Ironically, our ancestors came here searching for the proof of God. When we discovered that this planet on the far side of the universe supported life we reasoned that if you possessed our divinely created genetic code it could only be because God too created you.

    We had scientifically proven that it was impossible for our seed or DNA to travel through the five dimensions and reach you by natural causes. That meant that if your genetics matched ours obviously the same divine hand created us both. If you were of the same code, it would be proof of God. How could it be any other way? Therefore, in our religious fervor and conceit, we came to you to settle an age-old dilemma, the proof of God.

    After arriving and from a low orbit, our ancestors eagerly sent scientists down in a craft to take genetic samples. As dared hoped by the Church Council on our home planet they were right in financing the expedition. Indeed your genetic signature was almost identical to ours. A slight difference in the upper codes was attributed to environmental variances.

    After compensating for that difference our scientists manipulated our superior DNA signature through a genetic age-regression technique until it matched yours identically. From that regression, we calculate that we were created approximately 30,000 years ahead of you. Thus, a scientific and religious fact was established. God created all life in the universe but not all at the same time. As we knew it had to be, we were created first.

    Although we are from the other side of the universe, it only took a few steps to get here. It was not a question of distance but one of dimensional gaps. One does not travel through the universe by linear distance but rather by dimensional skipping. It was the plan for our ancestors to return with the DNA information, the triumphant news of the proof of God. However, that did not happen and we, the ancestors of the original ones who came here are not sure why they did not return.

    Although you were also a creation of God, strangely, when we came to you 7,000 years ago, you were all heathens and pagans. This could be why our ancestors stayed here, that they developed a sense of evangelism, a desire to relish in God’s favor by converting you to the proper faith, ours. Be it through religious fervor of the original crew or fault in the computers, they did not return home.

    However, with a great sense of triumph they sent a message back through the five dimensions reporting that here on this planet was the proof that God does exist and the creation was sown across the universe by a divine hand.

    Of what little information we have from the first generation crew we have learned there was a tremendous adjustment needed in adapting to your world. The worst being that eventually all the computer data would degrade and become lost. If they stayed, they would eventually have to learn how to survive on this world without the computers.

    Regardless, the original crew decided to stay and search for a compatible place to set down, a place to plant our flag claiming this planet as ours. As you were foul and heathen, they did not wish to live anywhere near you. The irony being that as much as they despised your idolizing and warring ways, they needed humans to provide for them.

    Our ancestors eventually decided on a small and uninhabited island in a large inland sea that most closely matched the environment of our world. They also felt that settling on an island would best serve as a contamination barrier between them and the infested humans.

    After claiming the island as theirs, one of the first laws enacted was the segregation law. Because of our similar genetic code, we knew that we were able to breed with you and create another new species onto this planet. The question being, why would we want to dilute our perfect genes with your barbaric strain? Our Royal Blood was the most revered. Thus, we enacted a law declaring that none of us may cross over to the mainland and no human may pass over to us. And the humans wrote,

    There is a great chasm fixed between us; no one from our side who wants to reach you can cross it, and none may pass from your side to us. (Luke 16:26)

    There was contact between us but only in the servile sense. We selected a privileged tribe on the mainland to grow our Holy Grains and serve other necessities. For the first time on this planet, humans served a new species, us. Obviously, you did not understand who we were or where we came from. You were savages, how could you. All you knew of us was that we were wondrous.

    You came to know the tribe we had selected to serve us as the Sumerians, meaning, ‘the chosen ones’. By a natural course of events, we became their gods. Soon they grew Holy Grain for us and certain herds became the property of the gods.

    A great bird from the heavens would land and the Sumerians would feed it great bushels of holy wheat until it closed its mouth and flew upward into the clouds, to heaven. For this servitude, we were benevolent, teaching them mathematics, a writing system and the benefit of a wheel. It was not surprising that some of their first words put to clay tablet would be songs and prayers of their new most powerful gods.

    As the years with our new servants passed and they continued to serve us, we also grew. We became less and less dependent on the Sumerians as was the long-term plan.

    It was at the end of our third generation on our secluded island that a serious problem arose. We noticed that our birth ratio was favoring the males three to one. It was clear that the environmental signature of this planet influenced our hormonal enzyme balance. If only the ratio was the other way around then we would not have adopted such strong survival measures as we did.

    In a world with more males than females, the breeding stock is greatly limited. Although it ran against our morals, we adjusted to a matriarchal society. However, that did not alter the fact that we still suffered an offset propagation impasse. The cold fact before us was that no matter the number of husbands the women had, they could only be pregnant so often.

    The suggestion from the Science Council was not an agreeable one, but necessary. Right from the start we knew that we could breed with you, it is just that it was never considered and the Royal Blood Law was still very much in effect. There was no want for us to breed down the evolutionary scale. This would only dilute the perfect genetics bestowed on us by God.

    The times however were menacing and desperate adjustments were called for. It was time to amend the Royal Blood Law, time to allow our yearning sons to leave our island, take human wives, and have children by them. And the humans wrote,

    The sons of gods saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; so they took for themselves such women as they chose. (Gen. 6:2)

    After we decided that our sons could take human wives, a new problem surfaced. Which of our pinning men can leave the island in search of human females? We decided to allow the basic laws of nature to choose for us. We took genetic readings from all those who wished to take daughters of man for a wife. The weakest or less perfect of the strains, those that developed genetic problems during our adjustment here, were given permission to leave and the strongest or perfect must stay to continue our God given ways with the perfect species.

    We imposed new laws to those who left. Once off our island they may never return with their wives and children. In addition, we would not allow any of the parting men to take anything with them, books or tools or anything that might give the humans an indication that we were less than the gods they served. The deception that the sons of god took human wives must prevail.

    As harsh as we thought that requirement might be there were still many lonely males who gladly left heaven with only the knowledge that they were superior to the humans. Thus within a very short time, this planet became host to two new species. The first species was us when we came and claimed this planet as ours. The second was when our forsaken men had children by the daughters of men, the half-breed between you and us. And the humans wrote,

    When the sons of gods had intercourse with the daughters of men and got children by them, the Nephilim were on the earth. (Gen. 6:4)

    Because of the compatible genetics, there was only a slight physical difference in the Nephilim. Because we were biased, we naturally thought the half-breed children looked superior to their human mothers. They most certainly became more intelligent than the pure humans. These Nephilim eventually became the wise ones of your race, your kings, judges, artisans, and philosophers. They became the giants of humanity and indeed giants now walked the earth. As more time passed, the Nephilim traveled the world and a bright light shone on the evolution of the humans. And the humans wrote,

    When the sons of the gods had intercourse with the daughters of men and got children by them, the Nephilim were on earth. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. (Gen. 6:4)

    During our first few generations in this harsh new world, we concentrated on our survival. Now, as we adequately adjusted we found time to reflect to what extent we were going to get religiously involved with the lower beings of this planet. We desired to become your evangelists and introduce the proper God to you.

    We believe God created all things. This was proven when coming here and finding equally created genetics in a species living on the wrong side of the universe, an impossible lineal travel distance between us. Although created by the same hand here you are on a planet isolated from the other creations on the other side of the universe. Although the same God created you, for some reason you did not believe in the energy of that universal authority.

    We wondered why you were building stone altars to a variance of things you ignorantly referred to as gods. Our First Elder of the Faith was appalled that you sacrificed not only animals but also humans to these heathen images, images that never responded to your pleadings. The perplexity being, if we were all created by the same God, then why are you pagans and we of the proper faith?

    Originally, we thought it was just a cruel twist of fate that placed you so far from us. However, clearly something must have gone drastically wrong with your divine development. We thought this must be the reason why you were on the wrong side of the universe, so far from the perfect ones. Was it a quarantine so that you would not infect us with your evil ways? At that time, the humans did not understand the term ‘universe’, instead thinking that only your planet was all that God created. And the humans wrote,

    That is why it is called Babel, because the Lord there made a babble of the languages of all the world; from that place the Lord scattered men all over the face of the earth. (Gen. 11:9)

    Aside from honoring stone idols, there was one other horrific and most barbaric difference between us and that was your desire to kill each other. Never in our history has there been a case where one of us has killed the other. We have never suffered wars or sacrificed blood to our God. The principle difference between our genetics is that you will kill and we will not. You possessed a killer gene that was not in us so we decided to improve your creation, to find and isolate that killer gene, to make you as perfect as us.

    Even without the help of our diminished computers, we were adept in the science of Bio-chemical Engineering. We set forth to attempt certain experiments gleaning answers to the question of our killer gene theory. The First Elder of the Faith was also quick to theorize that it was probably because of this mysterious and malicious strain that you also prayed to stone and golden idols.

    An interesting question now arose, one that would embrace us to you for many generations to come. We wanted to know if we could somehow breed the killer gene out of you by using our perfect genetics as a catalyst. Was it possible to make you more like us?

    Thus, it began.

    Chapter 2

    Our Adam and Eve

    Of the few humans who saw us come to them on the wings of great birds, none fully understood who we really were. They often saw us perform wondrous deeds and retold them in the custom of their own culture, at their own level of comprehension. Because of that, there often developed a great rift between what we did to you and how you perceived it. When we decided to clone our genetics
