Does Genesis Teach that the Human Race was Created by God or Engineered by ETs?

The familiar stories of the book of Genesis affirm that God made the universe, planet earth, and you and me. However, various anomalies in the text clue us that we are not reading the original version of these stories. So what were the original narratives and what did they say about who we are and where we all came from? What was the earlier story of human origins, almost obliterated from the Hebrew Scriptures in the 6th century BC, and suppressed from Christian writing in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD?

Today Paul Wallis is best known for his bestselling series of titles in paleocontact, Escaping from Eden, The Scars of Eden, Echoes of Eden and The Eden Conspiracy. As the host of The 5th Kind TV and El Quinto Tipo, Paul’s documentaries and interviews are watched by millions worldwide.

Born in Buckinghamshire, England, Paul enjoyed seasons of life in Bath, Nottingham, Portsmouth and London. For a ten-year period he commuted between homes in the UK and Montreal, Canada, later settling in Australia. His travels around the world have included horse trekking in the depths of the Grand Canyon and the heights of the Himalayas, swimming in the Amazon, parachuting in Britain and Australia, and surviving a charging rhinoceros in Zambia – along with more peaceful pilgrimages to Egypt, Zimbabwe, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand and India.

Paul’s studies in languages, linguistics and theology have taken him around the world to study at The University of Bath (UK) The Machiavelli Institute in Florence (Italy) St John’s College and The University of Nottingham (UK) and to the Instituto Pastoral Regional in Belem, Amazonia (Brazil.)

As a Theological Educator, Paul designed training for pastors of churches in the UK, Korea, West Africa and Australia in the ’90s, ’00s, and ’10s, delivering courses on the History of Christian Thought and Biblical Hermeneutics (principles of interpreting texts.)

As a Church Doctor, Paul’s work included planting six new churches in Anglican and charismatic streams through the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s, providing consultancy for Anglican and non-aligned grassroots churches in the ’00’s, and leading community healing and appointment processes as an Intentional Interim Minister and Archdeacon in the Anglican Church in Australia in the ’00-’10s.

Paul’s studies in Hermeutics and the History of Christian Thought have led him from the familiar canons of mainstream preaching into the world of paleocontact, ancestral narratives and contemporary phenomena. Today, Paul’s books draw on diverse sources as he probes the world’s ancestral narratives for their insights into human origins and human potential.

An Australian by choice, Paul’s heritage is English, Welsh and Ghanaian – with ancestry in France, Switzerland, and Scandinavia. Paul is married to Ruth, a passionate educator and the founder of AfroShe, Ruth is of Ghanaian heritage. They have three children and live on Australia’s sunny east coast. Paul practices personal coaching with a few clients each year. He is a musician, a mystic, an enthusiastic chef and a barefoot walker.
