"Although our Solar System seems to be ancient, it is the new kid on the block, comparatively. So what went on before we came along? Sorry to say, everything did not begin with us. The Cosmos is a vibrant, energetic, and continually changing big place that had an ancient history before our ancestors walked on two legs.”

— Ray Newkirk

Cosmic Truth: God, Us and the Extraterrestrials

The 1950s! What a great time that was. Rock & Roll; Chuck Berry, Bill Haley & the Comets, the Platters, Mickey & Sylvia, Shirley & Lee, Clyde McPhatter, The Drifters, Ben E. King, Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers, Elvis. Oh, Wow! Big cars; cheap gas; low crime; no war, and the Six O’ Clock Evening News for 30 minutes. People connected with people in person, human to human. Everything seemed to be hunky dory. Copacetic. How many of you remember those words? You get the idea I’m sure. It is everything you’ve heard about, and more. Beware the Military-Industrial Complex. President Ike was right, really right. He knew more than he let on. He knew about the UFO. He knew a lot. History unfolded as imagined by some people. There will be more on that later.

The wonderful thing about writing this book is all the wonderful, loving, and happy memories the process returned to me. Many of the people I knew have already left us. They were one of a kind, all of them. They came from all parts of America and from as far away as the Philippine Islands. These memories alone are a great reward for the effort of writing this book, a labor of love really.

So why did I write this book? I wrote this book to kind of make a statement that needs to be made about the puzzling relationship between the Exotheologian and the Space Scientist, that is, between Faith and Reason, which are really the same thing. What really is going on? Why do the Exotheologian and the Space Scientist seem to be so narrow in their focus and so inadequate in their discoveries? The science is professionally rigorous and the theology is well-reasoned. So what is the problem? Why do both schools of excellence resist doing excellent work? Both disciplines work on themes that are inclusive but work by exclusion. Isn’t that strange?
