In Defense of Russell Moore - And UFOs, ETs, Aliens

Hey there, A .D. Robles here, hoping to give you some smoothness again for a Thursday afternoon. I hope this is smooth enough for you, I hope it's winsome, I hope that you get a lot of value out of this, and I just wanted to revisit Dr. Russell Moore's YouTube channel yet again.

I told you the other day I'm very impressed with it, I'm very impressed with it, and I wasn't lying. I think a lot of people thought that I was being sneaky, maybe I was mocking him a little bit, but I wasn't, baby.

I wasn't. I think it's a good channel. You know, one of the things I found very interesting about this channel is that it is a discernment YouTube channel. Discernment's kind of got a bad rap these days, baby.

A lot of people will try to insult you by calling you a discernment ministry, and there's nothing wrong with discernment, baby. You gotta be winsome about it, though, and that's what you gotta do, and that is what Dr. Russell Moore is excellent at.

I might disagree with him on some things, like we did in the last video. You know, I disagreed with him on a few points. He made up some Bible verses, too. You remember that one. That was funny, baby.

But anyway, I wanted to just say how much I appreciate Dr. Russell Moore's YouTube channel, and I hope to emulate some aspects of it. One of the things that I said the other day was that this aliens video, I was very intrigued by it.

I thought, hey, this means he might be having a little fun with this YouTube channel, and if you know me, you know I like to have a little fun with my YouTube channel. So I wanted to watch this video, but I wanted to just comment on something, too.

Defending a Serious Conversation About Aliens

I wanted to defend Dr. Russell Moore a little bit today. I wanted to defend him because I feel like he's being unfairly criticized here, baby. We gotta be fair with our criticisms, and I think I saw some people look at this aliens video and they were like, hey, this is stupid.

We got more important things to deal with, and I agree. We do. We have important things to deal with. That's very, very true. The Church of Jesus Christ is being torn apart at the seams right now by critical theory and all kinds of nonsense, but, you know, there's not room to talk about other things.

I think aliens are important. I think talking about aliens is important, too. I mean, at the end of the day, this video wasn't what I, let's just be honest, this video wasn't what I expected it to be.

I expected it to be a little more fun, but it was very serious, and I gotta be honest, I did not disagree with much of what he said. I think when it comes to aliens, a lot of people are curious. Hey, what if there were aliens out there?

Wouldn't that disprove the Bible? And Dr. Russell Moore has the correct answer. I completely agree with everything he said about that. No, of course it wouldn't disprove the Bible just because they were extraterrestrials, little green men and all that kind of thing.

Of course it wouldn't. You gotta think about these things logically, and I gotta be honest, I think in this video, Dr. Russell Moore thought about it very logically. I was impressed. But anyway, I do have a criticism for Dr. Russell Moore.

This is more a piece of advice for him, and this is coming from, you know, one YouTuber to another. Alright, let's watch the last part of this video, because I watched the whole thing, and all of it was kind of like this.

I'll show it to you.

Let's watch the last minute. ...it were to be, seemed to be true. But we oughta, every time we hear something about alien hoaxes... Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on there. Did you catch that?

Did you catch that? So he had a hard swallow. He does this from time to time, and I think Dr. Russell Moore does this when he's a little uncomfortable talking about what he's talking about. He'll swallow real hard, and I think he almost looked like he was about to laugh.

I don't know why he's gonna laugh. Aliens are serious business, baby. Let's just watch that again. Watch his, watch his hard swallow.

...seemed to be true. But we oughta, every time we hear something about alien... There it is. Did you see that one?

Dr. Russell Moore, there is no shame in talking about aliens. I think aliens are a very interesting topic. In fact, yesterday I was watching a show about UFOs and aliens, and I thought it was extremely interesting.

I do a lot of that.

I do a lot of that. ...popular culture, or every time that we see a scientist speculating about whether or not extraterrestrials exist, that ought to remind us to think about the fact that humanity is different.

Humanity is small in the scope of the universe, and yet the glory and honor of God is there because the Word became flesh, human flesh, and is standing before God right now on behalf of us. Amen, baby.

Amen. ...over the entire created cosmos. So aliens, do they exist? I don't know. Oh, right.

But I know we're not alone. Oh, right. Well, that's the end of it, and you got that music again. There's that music, that very winsome, very calm, very serious corporate training video music. I wonder, do any of you guys know if that music is scientifically proven to increase persuasiveness?

Because if it is, I'm gonna start to use that music. I gotta say, all those kind of videos, they use that music. But the point at the end that he's making there is that, no, aliens wouldn't disprove the Bible.

Aliens wouldn't have anything to do with the incarnation of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and I agree with that. I completely agree with that. But here's my unsolicited advice for Dr. Russell Moore.

Give Us the Goods on UFOs and Aliens

You gotta have a little fun with it. Aliens is a fun topic. Aliens is a serious topic in many ways, but it's a fun topic. We watch a video like this, we see it hashtagged aliens, and we want the goods, baby.

You gotta give us the goods. And the goods are, what is your real opinion? And let's not be diplomatic about this. Let's just give us the goods. We wanna hear what you really think, Dr. Russell Moore.

We wanna hear what you really think about aliens and UFOs and all that kind of stuff. All he said was, well, I don't know. I don't know about aliens and UFOs and things like that. And I gotta be honest, we watch these YouTube videos, you know, we watch to the end, nine minutes.

We wanted to hear the goods, baby. I'll give you the goods. You wanna know what I think about UFOs and aliens and all that kind of thing? Like I said, I've spent some time thinking about this. I've spent some time reading and watching materials about this.

And I think that extraterrestrials, if they do exist, they have not come to Earth. I think by now we would know if they came to Earth, and we would have bodies, and we would have that shared with people.

I think that aliens do not exist, at least to our knowledge in the United States or the world at large. But at the end of the day, if they did exist, I would not be scared about that. I would find that miraculously interesting.

Now, this is the real fun part, baby. UFOs. The UFO phenomenon is, to be honest, it's really undeniable. At this point, we just have so many eyewitnesses. We've got eyewitnesses in high places. The government is starting to admit this.

UFOs are real. We don't know what they are. Or they're a craft of some kind, I think. I think that much is clear. But aliens, I don't know about aliens. Those are the goods, baby. You've got to give us your real opinion.

Even if you're going to use that seriously winsome and delicious music at the end, give us your real opinions, Dr. Russell Moore. We want to know. That's why we watch your YouTube channel. We want to know what you think.

We want to hear your discernment, baby. You don't have to hide. You don't have to be political. Give us the goods next time, Dr. Russell Moore, and keep up the good work. Anyway, this is Smooth AD. I hope this was helpful.

God bless.
