Angels, Beliefs and Buddhists

What are angels made of? Light, fire, earth or sperm? Interesting question that appears in an examination paper that I chanced upon. Angels; not those pretty sleuths in bikinis who once appeared weekly in American TV series Charlie's Angels but the ones with wings like birds; I read, are creation of God and can resemble human beings if God permits and wills it and they often appear as a man even though they are neither male or female. There are also many of them, thousands and thousands and in heaven, they are of different orders or ranks. I remember a popular ABBA song which had been rerecorded by Westlife, an Irish pop vocal group,  I have a dream. There's a line in the lyrics, I believe in angels. Now, I wonder if Buddhist do believe in them.
