Michael and Lucifer: Christian Identity’s Science Fiction

In 1963, William Potter Gale published a booklet entitled “The Faith of Our Fathers,” pushing the notion that a Pre-Adamic race existed before the biblical Garden of Eden and populated the earth through Cain and his descendants. As part of the Christian Identity doctrine of the two-seed bloodlines, Gale claimed Cain’s descendants were the “Asiatics and Negroes” while the white race was the true bloodline.

Gale resurrected an ancient quasi-Gnostic myth that a pre-agamic race came from the realms of outer space and was not of earthly origin. According to Gale, Lucifer and his fallen angels fought a “great and mighty space battle” across the universe. The forces of God were led by none other than the Archangel, Michael. When Michael and his fleet of spaceships defeated Lucifer and Lucifer, and his rebels were cast down, they fell to planet Earth and began to invade the Earth through sex.

Gale, however, was not the first to push the two-seed bloodline in spectacular works of science fiction, nor was he the first to claim that fiction was “Christian doctrine”. As the Christian Identity movement began to develop from British Israelism, and “Christian” ministers began to claim that interracial marriage was not biblical, they needed another “bible” to push that agenda; that doctrine is not in the Christian Bible. It appears that the answer was to combine popular themes from science fiction and label that fiction “biblical.”
