| − | Gary Bates of Creation Ministries International also makes the case that UFO’s and alien visitors are in fact demonic visitations. He states that ETH is invalidated due to our knowledge of our own solar system and the physical diffulties of interstellar travel. He applies the IDH to include the supernatural, and thus says that the IDH fits the position that "visitors" are demonic. He shows from abduction and encounter reports that the "visitors" are known to lie. They have claimed to be from various planets in our own solar system; only abandoning such claims as scientific research and observation show the claims to be deceitful. He has also drawn parallels with the "visitors" activities and the activities of demons known from scripture and history. This activity includes regularly attacking scripture. Bates relates some of the names given by "visitors" and shows the similarity to names of false gods in the Old Testament and fallen angels in the aprochyphal book of Enoch. Bates also reports that Christians do not experience "alien abductions".<ref>[http://www.alienintrusion.com| Alien Intrusion]</ref> | + | Gary Bates of [[Creation Ministries International]] also makes the case that UFO’s and alien visitors are in fact demonic visitations.
