What Rob wrote. Quite easy to imagine aliens existing, the idea is comprehensible. But 'supernatural' stuff? No clue how to imagine that.
Well then its easy if you believe in aliens.
You just need to find a clean and consistent definition of supernatural.
For me supernatural is an occurrence that the present society cannot explain or is generally incomprehensible.Notice i said "present society" because what's supernatural 1000 years ago may not be supernatural at the present and what's supernatural at the present may not be supernatural 1000 years after.(I don't mean ghosts,werewolves,vampires and those kind of things,generally any natural occurrence that we are unable to explain.)
So now you have a clear definition of supernatural,keep that in your head.
You said that its "Quite easy to imagine aliens existing".Good.
And i assume that its quite easy to imagine alien life that are of a superior intellect than that of human being too,yes? I mean like no human should think that their species are the smartest most modernized species in the entire of the universe.
So now,you have a clear definition of Supernatural and we are able to accept the high probability of the existence of intellectually superior beings in the universe.
Now lets look at some of the ideas that classify as being supernatural in our present society.
*Regenerative healing factors
*Invisibility
*Teleportation (the list goes on)
Did you know that teleportation,invisibility and regenerative healing factors are real things?
Yes,actual real things that may or may not be happening right around us.If you don't believe me look it up on google.
There are numerous articles,proofs even i believe,to support that the theoretical possibility of teleportation,invisibility etc are indeed possible.
Regenerative healing factors are present in creatures that are present in earth that are around us.
So we've come to the conclusion that the theoretical aspect of invisibility,teleportation is possible and that regenerative healing factors are not non-existent.
Do you recall saying that its "Quite easy to imagine aliens existing"?Well do you remember agreeing to the fact that there is a high probability of superior intellectual beings in the universe? Good.
Suppose these "Intellectually superior beings" tackled these problems that we face,problems such as Invisibility,Teleportation and they can infact perform these "miracles".Suppose they tackled these theoretical problems and made them into practical realities just as we made computers,discovered/Invented AC etc.
So that gives these beings what?Some of the supernatural "powers" as i've explained above.Since they have some of the supernatural characteristics don't they have some of the attributes of "God"(with respect to us,our knowledge,our science,our comprehension because these beings do not have any supernatural characteristics or god like attributes with respect to them itself,its how they they've been and they think its normal).
So if a Alien species with superior intellect exist and they have tackled some of the many theoretical possibilities yet practical impossibilities of our current society(notice i said current society)doesn't that make them gods?
I think it does.(After all if you have the characteristics of a god or a superior being or posses supernatural qualities then you ARE god,correct?)
If its quite easy to imagine aliens existing and if its clear that evolution is in fact an actual phenomenon then we automatically believe in god.Most of us just don't know it.
I believe in god(so should you its the most logical conclusion)but i do not believe in religion.
I welcome any arguments that can contradict my argument.
This is what i think.
Edit: I think most of you guys over-think about the concept of a God(so did i some years back)and form a complex or incomprehensible idea of a God in your mind.If you think in simple terms it becomes apparent.
