Of course it's Avi Loeb. Dude's a crank, might as well just ask an LLM. Hell, it might give you a more coherent answer.

In 2024, Loeb delivered a speech in which he declared his view that the Messiah will be an alien who arrives from outer space.

how's that less coherent than religion in general, shit i hope the abrahamic god sends e.t. as its messiah it'd be a real fuck you to the religious bigots unless i gues e.t. is also a bigot

It's no more or less coherent than religion in general, but we don't need fresh new flavour messianic cultism imo so it's worth belittling.

fuck avi loeb. if i remember correctly he also publishes a shit ton of "papers" that are just inconsequential or crank thought experiments thtat not even a Q4 journal would wipe their ass with, but because he had some real cred at some point and has connections, can get them published with co authors.

also he's israeli i believe he was in some sort of IDF program as well. just an overall piece of shit.

I thought this was going to be about the nucleotide components found on that one asteroid, which is actually kind of interesting. I guess an interstellar asteroid coming close enough to observe is interesting too in its own right, without the need to make up woo about it
