Lots of people do it for upwards of 70 years. They're called farmers and
primary producers. They work 7 days, and rest only when they sleep. Some
days they work harder than others, but they mostly work every day. They
have to. It's not as hard as you might think.

There are a number of things that verify the historical facts in the
bible. However they do not say anything in regard to the causality the
bible states. The bible says a couple of cities were wiped out by God.
Archaeology points to tectonic activity, or subterranean mudslides, or
other natural phenomena - which can be duplicated in an experimental
environment.

Just because the Bible gets the facts right does not mean it has got its
lessons right.

As for the belief about aliens.. well, there are those who seem to
follow elvis like he is some sort of deity.
