Want to reach out to us? Want to leave a comment or review? Want to give us a suggestion or berate Anthony? Send us a text by clicking this link!Can extraterrestrial phenomena be explained through theology? Dr. Mazza joins us to explore this riveting question by analyzing the theory that M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs" suggests aliens might actually be demons. From detailed dissections of key scenes to the protagonist's spiritual journey, we uncover how faith, forgiveness, and divine intervention interplay within the film. Dr. Mazza also shares insights from his online courses on science and faith, covering miracles, the multiverse, and more.Our discussion branches out to broader cultural phenomena, including society's fascination with UFOs and the implications of government disclosures on the subject. We explore how the loss of faith in traditional religious beliefs has led to a growing interest in extraterrestrial beings. Among the highlights is a fascinating debate on whether these phenomena might defy the laws of physics, suggesting they are interdimensional beings—potentially angels or demons.We also tackle contemporary challenges within the Catholic Church, from the resignation of Pope Benedict to the influence of modern ideologies on religious beliefs. Delving into Marian apparitions and the ongoing Eucharistic revival, we reflect on the significance of traditional practices amidst rising secular "religions." As we wrap up, we express our gratitude to Dr. Mazza for his enlightening contributions and look forward to future collaborations. This episode is a treasure trove of thought-provoking discussions on faith, film, and the mysteries of our universe.Support the Show.********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV: https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonOdysee: https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylon
