Im sorry. I dont watch that stuff. Im a athletic 15 year old boy that has a passion for sports and music. I watch espn and all that stuff.. I dont watch the stuff about life.. But the way I thought of this. Is I connected some of the things ive learned in history and thought deeply about it.. some things didnt make sense. Like what is god.. Why do people believe in something they have never seen..

And one day I just connected the dots and came up with this..

Yea Ancient Aliens is a very good show, You should watch it. It's very interesting.

I will look in to it.

You won't be disappointed.
The 'main' scientist on it looks a little crazy but he knows what he is talking about.
Everything is fact or fact based theory.

I'm a christian, but it's really hard to read this stuff because recently I have been thinking what if someone way back then created the bible to keep us believing, I really hope not though,

Thats kinda what ive been thinking too. It has to be the only answer though in my opinion. They wanted to keep us in peace.

As I've said before, many anti theists believe that the Bible was constructed by Kings.
Before the Bible God was only really seen as an answer to life's big questions like 'where did we come from?' and 'why are we here?'.

The Bible added an extra dimension to Religion. That dimension is morality.
If you do this, this will happen.

It introduced hope. That there will be something more after you die and that there is meaning to what seems to be meaningless.
It also introduced fear. Fear of hell. Which put a moral restraint on criminals and reduced crime.

This gave control back to the kings.
People became less focused on rebelling and more focused on worship and love.

The Bible, from an atheist point of view, is propaganda.

This picture pretty much sums up your post.

How can you say that when, although he might not know it, there is proof for this theory.

I don't know, therefore 1 in 270,000 chance that we exist out of pure luck.

or

I don't know, therefore God.

If you make a claim expect to back it up with the burden of proof.

Like I've said, we can. All you need to do is search 'Ancient Aliens' on Google.
But this is an un-falsifiable hypothesis. It can't be proven right or wrong, yet.
There is still a huge amount of evidence for it though.

I can understand where you are coming from, but I don't think the "aliens" would know how to use human language to write a book about we we should believe in. Also, there are multiple versions of the bible.

Multiple versions of the Bible now.
There was an original Bible but over 2000 years it has be re-written, re-translated into hundreds of languages and mis-interpreted.

The Bible is most likely nothing like it was when it was originally written.

The Bible was originally written in Hebrew which is very similar to ancient Sumerian Mesopotamia.
Ancient Sumeria was the 'first' big civilization which popped up out of nowhere with crafts, literature, language and general citizenship.
Ancient Alien theorists believe that Sumeria was started by Aliens who were speeding up human evolution.

Mesopotamia is, potentially alien dialect so it is entirely possible that Aliens wrote the Bible.

Sorry for this long explanation but it was needed.
