I don't write, here, to challenge any of the content your writing about (aliens etc...). I only ask this:
In what way, if at all, does it change the way you live your life each day as a Christian? Would you live it differently if there were no aliens? Do you change your behavior (not just your thoughts) to think that there are aliens?
In other words, what is riding on your belief in this regard, aside from a theological playground (regardless of how interesting or even sound).
These are not challenges. They are questions, as posed.
In Love,
Peter
P.S. What's Paul up to these days?

Hi Peter,
I have revealed my identity already so it's alright and I respect that you wear your name so proudly. I realized later it is better to come forward with my identity and be transparent because God works best in the light and I have nothing to be afraid of because God is my protector. That's not to say I respect others for staying anonymous because that has advantages for those who feel it would help them open up about their struggles.
I don't feel dogmatic about my view of aliens and really it's not something I bring up in conversations unless I'm talking to other like minded folks who are deeply studied in bible prophecy and end times. However when the verse was brought up, I felt like I had to respond to it. I feel like it always helps to have an open mind as long as the theories do not violate the bible. Being close minded makes it likely we'll be rejecting truth and also stumble others when it's not necessary.
One of my hobbies is delving into bible prophecy. I've studied a lot of bible prophecy teachers such as Chuck Missler, LA Marzulli, Gary Stearman, Tom Horn, Cris Putnam. The book that got me interested in the subject of UFOs being an end-time demonic deception is Exo-Vaticana. So my process of getting into this was a gradual one.
The benefit of course is that this knowledge could be a witnessing tool for the gospel to those who are involved in new age and believe in UFOs. I have a DVD that clearly exposes the UFO phenomenon as being demonic and I prayed a short prayer once for the Lord to show me a person to give the DVD to. He hasn't given me an answer yet but it's the kind of prayer God always answers from my experience.
This is a legitimate concern because according to a recent National Geographic survey more Americans believe in UFOs than they believe Jesus Christ is the son of God.

Here's a video from a Christian perspective in case I have piqued your interest enough:
