writer, Marc Dem, totally reinterprets the Book of Genesis by claims that humanity started on another planet, and that “God” of the Holy Bible is actually a spaceman. And, in stark contrast to popular belief, Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is an Extra Terrestrial, because He is essentially not of this planet.
