As for my counter reply:
(I'll be as descriptive as possible)
3. Imagine yourself sitting inside a dark room and suddenly a person appear in front of you,smiles at you and then suddenly vanishes.
This is a supernatural occurence right?
What basically happened here is this:
*A being is teleported in front of you.
*This being is teleported from you.
Teleportation is a theoretical possibility humans have just not yet developed any practical implementation.
See how i said "Superior Alien" race?An alien race that have tackled this problem will have the technological means of performing teleportation which would make them
supernatural with respect to us(since we are yet not familiar with the possibility of such a phenomenon and hence can't explain it,however they appear normal to themselves because they are familiar with this phenomenon.).But the fact remains that they are supernatural to US.
5. Refer to 3.
6. I said that these Superior Aliens are similar to or have similar attributes such as a God because of how they can perform "Supernatural" things with respect to us,i think supernatural is a very relative term and we should understand it.What Supernatural to X may not be Supernatural to Y because Y can understand this phenomenon.
"Our current technology would look supernatural to humans just a couple of hundred years ago. Doesn't make it supernatural, does it?"
Of course it doesn't make it supernatural - to US.But it IS supernatural to the humans than are from a couple of hundred years ago.
7. Refer everything above.
Nothing you describe is supernatural.
Unknown technology =/= supernatural.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
