Christian UFOlogist?

Interesting discussion going on over at Worldmagblog, where writer Lynn Vincent discusses her encounter with a UFO and her Christian beliefs. The top comment also has a link to a lecture by a self identified Christian UFOlogist named Michael Heiser who is also a credible academic and author of a novel about Area 51, UFO's and the like called The Facade.

This has kind of been on my mind lately because I am currently reading The Shadow and Night by Chris Walley, an explicitly Christian science fiction novel set eleven thousand years in the future, which so far is absolutely engrossing. Nice to know others struggle with such strange things. After all, how does a Christian write about alien races or genetic science without seeming to be anti-science?

Since you are intrigued by that novel. Here is the author's site.

As I said, I am really enjoying it. The science is awesome (the guy is a scientist after all) and it is explicitly Christian without being preachy, just conistent.

(i.e. it begins with a utopia based in Christianity which has evil reintroduced. So prayer is part of it, but that would be consist with the society he has set up.)
