I think that this video is interesting for two reasons. First, humans tend to resort "anthropomorphizing" (making things human-like) when they don't understand something. This is the same idea behind all of the human looking aliens on programs like Stargate SG-1 and Star Trek. Have you ever seen a sci-fi show (with the possible exception of 2001: A Space Odyssey) that had the concept of an alien that looked, acted, and interacted with humans in an incomprehensibly advanced way?

How else would you describe the interactions of an advanced civilization of beings (or a single being) with the people of earth? It may be that God is simply nothing more than an advanced being who intercedes on our behalf, both collectively and individually.
What are your thoughts on the video?
