Quote:24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe.”
26 Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.” (John 20, RSV)
What is difficult to understand here?
As for 'advanced aliens" faking it, if we accept the Conservation of Energy on macroscopic scales, then, aliens, however advanced they may be, are still natural beings bound by natural laws.
But, in the spirit of the Turning Test, are there things that an omnipotent and omniscient God could do that advanced aliens could not do?
