Carolyn Devonshire Poet Couplet

Angels and Aliens

With the Biblical accounts of angels
Regarded by some as proof of aliens

Science and religion remain at odds
One says the other has no faith in God

Is there no room in Earth’s family portrait
For both sides to speak, not one view omit

If we believe God created all things
Can’t this be said of other-world beings

No life’s threatened by angels or aliens
So mocking of either just makes no sense

When God created both heaven and Earth
Perhaps a new species of life gave birth

In another part of His Milky Way
And, in friendship, they visit us today

Appearing from the sky basked in white light
Celestial creatures laugh at the sight

Of scientists and theologians
Pitting God’s angels against God’s aliens

And man’s ignorance they may deride
Since angels and aliens thrive side-by-side

Izzy Gumbo February 25, 2010 at 8:31 AM Outstanding!!! I think this is one of the best 'theories' I've read to date! ;) xo

Lynette Chachere February 20, 2010 at 2:42 AM That's interesting to know. I've never heard of Angels and Aliens. Really, it never crossed my mind even once.but now it is. makes you think. Very nice poetry. -Always&Forever Lynette

Phyllis Babcock February 17, 2010 at 3:24 PM Hi Carolyn. It is good to keep an open mind and we have so much to learn about the universe. My son is a physicist and we have many debates on this issue. God Bless Phyl

Joshua Lacey February 12, 2010 at 12:49 PM sure would be great if aliens did show up, as long as they are friendly!

Sheol Moribund February 11, 2010 at 11:20 AM Greetings and Salutations Carolyn: AWESOME!!! What a fantastic poem, on subjects that I can connect with. Have a great and wonderful day. Peace: Sheol

Joanna Smith February 11, 2010 at 8:39 AM if aliens had the ability to travel to visit us that would make them more advance, which would kinda signal to me that they were created first, but i do agree who's to say that god didnt create us both! just like who's to say if adam and eve weren't more ape like than human like, who knows there is a world of knoledge for us to seek and i think that was God's real gift to us great write i enjoyed thhe point of view! =) jo

Doris Culverhouse February 4, 2010 at 10:32 AM interesting idea, I haven't seen either, but I believe in the angels, since it is in the Bible.

Joyce Johnson February 2, 2010 at 8:21 AM We are only in kindergarten when it comes to knowledge of the universe. Foolish to argue. Thanks for your kind comments. Love, Joyce

Dr Igor Von Graves February 2, 2010 at 8:14 AM Aliens indeed are very clever and have very large eyes and fast spaceships in fact one abducted my girlfriend so i know there ways very interesting write indeed

Brian Strand February 2, 2010 at 3:37 AM Thank you for your welcome blog comments Carolyn.Rgds Brian

Ronald Bingham February 1, 2010 at 12:53 PM Carolyn I don't think I've read any where in the Bible that we are the only planet that contains life. I have read that He created the Heavens and the earth. It is a mighty big universe. Blessings my friend. Ron

The Fringe February 1, 2010 at 11:05 AM Carolyn, I used to be so sure I knew there were no other life forms off this planet. Now, I'm not so sure. In my opinion, if there are off-world intelligent beings (whatever that means :) and if they have the capability to get here, then their technology is so advanced that, in my humble opinion they probably run this planet. Thats an opinion which could change by me reading another book lol. Very thought-provoking poem and good too. David

John Patrick Robbins Aka Gonzo February 1, 2010 at 7:48 AM carolyn a very interesting write and i really liked this work indeed you always show great skill in whatever form you choose to write in really liked the thought behind this great job

Margaret Foster January 31, 2010 at 9:02 PM Hi Carolyn. It nice to keep an open mind on such matters. for the unknown is just that--unknown. And who knows what future times may reveal.... A good work...... Thank you for your reading of my Circus.. I have a footnote. ( think car crash at traffic lights).....cheers Margaret

Marty Owens January 31, 2010 at 8:58 PM Hey Carolyn, this is a true story...Luckily I didn't get stung. But it was in my pants...lol...Marty

Hgarvey Daniel Esquire January 31, 2010 at 7:31 PM Dear Carolyn, I agree with Caroline According to the Bible Mankind is HIS Greatest Creation How we must disappoint HIM Never mind the Angels and Aliens Let's learn to get along with each other First ALWAYS YOURS...HG

Tim Ryerson January 31, 2010 at 7:04 PM Another gem, Carolyn! How could we be so arrogant as to believe we are the only ones in God's great universe? - Tim

Robert A. Dufresne January 31, 2010 at 3:59 PM Maybe aliens are Willy Nelson's "angels flying to close to the ground" :)Sorry Carolyn , couldn't help myself! -Like and understand your poem. Robert

Caroline Cécile Delacroix January 31, 2010 at 3:56 PM Well, I actually believe that religion and science should be harmonized just as mind and body should be harmonized. If God is the creator, He is the first scientist. I believe that it is fear that creates interpretations of spiritual messages that are supposed to enhance life not constrain it and not for the purpose of creating walls of division. The future will tell. A great write, Carolyn, thought provoking couplet. Loved it. Best wishes, Caroline.

Linda-Marie Sweetheart January 31, 2010 at 2:43 PM Inspiration will come and go.. but it is never far away... it returns at the proper moment when needed most.. speaking from my own experience... u uplift many by your poetry.. feel secure in the kinowledge of your gift.. luv.. Linda-Marie..
