Over 30 Years in the Church… Then I Found the Shocking Truth About God in the Bible - Paul Wallis

This video features a discussion about "paleo contact" theory - the idea that ancient human civilizations had contact with extraterrestrial beings. The speaker, a former Anglican archdeacon with 33 years in Christian ministry, explains how his theological training led him to discover that many familiar Biblical stories are actually retellings of older Mesopotamian accounts about "sky people" or advanced beings from space. He argues that stories like Noah's ark, the Tower of Babel, and Genesis creation accounts contain layers of editing, with the deepest layer preserving memories of real contact with non-human visitors who helped humanity recover after prehistoric cataclysms. The speaker points to correlations between flood stories and sky-being narratives across diverse cultures worldwide, suggesting these represent shared memories of actual events rather than pure mythology. He examines archaeological evidence from sites like Göbekli Tepe and ancient artifacts that seem to depict advanced technology, arguing that ancient texts contain knowledge about Earth's deep history that humans shouldn't have possessed without outside help. The discussion explores how these advanced beings, while technologically superior, had finite powers - they couldn't prevent catastrophes but could assist in humanity's recovery afterward.
