Oba Orhogbua, who set up the first human settlement in Eko [Lagos Island], was the 1st Sailor & literate king ever recorded in West-Africa. He conquered Lagos from the sea & planted a dukedom, the Obaship of Lagos (Eko). His son was the first Eleko [Oba] of Lagos.

@DiamondsTrent @SyntheticAnima Childhood's End?

@mouseforatu @SyntheticAnima Complete with aliens who look like devils. Hardly orthodox though.

@BigBassFan28256 @SyntheticAnima It is fiction. Just treat theology with the same respect you would do with any other field of knowledge: that will also make it good science fiction.

[Sylvia Koffi @MOSSAFAN666]

@sunrise_flare @Arthur43388159 @SyntheticAnima C.S. Lewis covers that subject.

[Sylvia Koffi @MOSSAFAN666]

@MagnanimousTut @SyntheticAnima Yes, but is that orthodox enough?

[Sylvia Koffi @MOSSAFAN666]

@EsotericaThe @SyntheticAnima Papist aliens?! A truely horrific concept!

[Sylvia Koffi @MOSSAFAN666]

@SonicPAJ @quillways @SyntheticAnima & fallen Earth is a bit of an obscure backwater, hence Out of the Silent Planet. Lewis was also making a point against imperialism, while he was at it.

[Sylvia Koffi @MOSSAFAN666]

@SyntheticAnima A large part of the works of Philip K. Dick are about this subject - "all religions are invasions from outer space". The Urantia cosmology is unlikely, but non-fiction.

[Sylvia Koffi @MOSSAFAN666]

@SyntheticAnima The Space Trilogy of C.S. Lewis is the most notable example, but one of its points is that Angels are aliens, which widens the concept rather. H.P. Lovecraft's Dreams In the Witch House is an example in the opposite direction.

@SyntheticAnima Check out Blish’s A Case of Conscience. Maria Russell’s The Sparrow I’ve heard also has some good stuff here.
