Stonehenge is just one of thousands of stone circles erected throughout Britain and Ireland for over three millennia from 3,000 BC on. How did this building tradition survive for so long, over such a large area and with such complexity and uniformity, when the people of the British Isles lived in separate, isolated communities? Graham Phillips argues that these stone circles are evidence of an astonishing system of healthcare and preservation of ancient medical knowledge that held together a society scattered across the British Isles.

Taken together, the image and the inscription constitute the earliest archaeological evidence of faith in Jesus’ resurrection.

Despite how preposterous such questions might sound today, the world is being groomed to accept these very ideas as a plausible explanation for the supernatural events of Scripture. Each miracle Jesus performed in the New Testament, some folks say, was not as much an act of divine power and will as much as it was a demonstration of alien mastery over sciences we can't yet fathom. The ET gospel currently merging into mainstream theology seems to have an answer for every dilemma—most of which must ignore portions of Scripture to be true.
