This is true, however it also does not say anywhere that he did not, either. The Bible (as I understand it, anyway) is supposed to be a plan for us, not a physics or astronomy text.

It simply does not say one way or the other. Genesis says He rested on the seventh day, also, having seen that his creation was good. It nowhere says that He then "stopped" and forever since has done nothing.
Incidentally, it does not address what may have been happening before the events in Genesis, either...The surface of the Earth was void, and without form, and waters covered the face of the earth so obviously even the Bible points to there being something in existence prior to Genesis.
Hence, it does not interfere with my religious beliefs to believe the possibility of extra terrestrial life, or any such. The Bible does not bother saying how things were created, only that they were. It isn't a technical manual.





My take, anyway.

As for Groom Lake...don't know what's there, for all I know it's a secret golf course for the top brass to play without being bothered....regardless, the government has managed to keep its workings secret, in spite of countless prying eyes (curious and otherwise)...of course, a new airplane or whatever is unlikely to provide political gain to one side or the other. It only applies to all of us. Hence, still secret. The line is less strong these days, though, what with counter terror methods being published in internationally read media...so I don't know anymore....

I liked the theory in the Transformers movie (I know, I know, but it was quite fun to watch) that the Hoover Dam was built to create and hide a top secret research facility to study a giant alien robot that crash landed on Earth, and all our technological advances since then were derived from that.

It makes about as much sense as some of the theories you hear in real life.
