Aliens or Demons? A Christian Response to UFO Sightings

Are UFO sightings real? Can Christians believe in aliens? Or is there a more biblical — and more reasonable — explanation?

In this episode of Rooted & Reason, Mikey and Ryan explore the growing fascination with aliens and UFOs from a Christian perspective. With logic, scripture, and a little humor, they break down the evidence behind extraterrestrial claims and compare it to the historical and spiritual reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This is not a conspiracy theory deep dive — it's a thoughtful, faith-based look at one of today’s most controversial topics. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just curious, you'll walk away with a reasoned perspective rooted in truth.

In this episode, you'll learn:
* What the Bible actually says (and doesn’t say) about extraterrestrial life
* Why some scientists and Christians believe UFO encounters may be spiritual, not physical
* The statistical case against intelligent alien life visiting Earth
* How the resurrection of Jesus stands up to historical scrutiny — and what that means for how we view strange phenomena
* Why your faith doesn’t need to fear headlines about alien life
