Ancient Astronauts
So, what do you believe?
Also, if aliens came and helped us build some cool shit, does it even matter if we have already surpassed, or are soon to surpass such technology?
Does it matter if they aren't still here or won't come back?
What does this mean for modern day religion?

I don't see how more technology would have any bad implications for any religion. If anything, the fact that "the gods left behind gifts for us" would actually probably help it. I suggest you stop making religion your scapegoat.
The ancient astronaut theories are interesting. It draws a lot of lines between many civilizations. I personally don't think these lines don't need to be drawn but it's still neat. All the evidence that these theorists gather up in support of the theory is pretty circumstantial as well.
I think I'm going to stick with Occam's Razor on this one and say that the simplest answer is probably the correct one; that these civilization's didn't need aliens to come about their (insert pyramids, Nazca lines, cave drawings etc here).

Lets be honest with ourselves any alien that came down to earth would make our current nuclear missiles look like sponges in comparison to whatever weapons they have. So if they wanted to they could kill us instantly no problem no question asked death to everyone. Lets also remember that humans have only been on earth for roughly 20thousand years, imagine if we had been here for 1 million years like some aliens may have. The difference in technology would be like that of ants and us now.
One of the only thing that supports the ancient aliens nonsense is the fact that technology to heave ten ton rocks to make pyramids simply did not exist in that era. Unless the techology was simply lost over time somebody or something definitely helped humans do some things.
Hell for all we know we could be like chickens to them being raised for slaughter, also the jump from rock wielding apes to homo sapiens seems a bit too extreme for straight up unassisted evolution.

If actual, rock hard evidence was discovered that showed aliens were being misinterpreted as being supernatural creatures then religious teachings would be bunk. This opens up another can of worms entirely, with religion having always had a large amount of power in ancient society, answering the questions of the scared and unintelligent and calming them etc, would it not be plausible to suggest that such evidence would be hidden or destroyed by such organisations that would be subsequently undermined?
