I did not assume anything.
It does not matter if we are unaware of the aliens discovery. Just because we believe it is supernatural, does not make it supernatural.
If humans never discovered how to create heavier than air flight, and an alien race showed up in a biplane, it would not be supernatural. No matter how many humans thought it was.
I think you misunderstood me.I didn't mean that you assume the existence of the aliens that made this discovery.
I meant that your argument assumed that humans knew about and had a clear idea of the discovery these aliens made.Which would make it natural because we can now explain it according to our scientific knowledge.
But since we don't,we can't.
I understand your frustration,it i were you i would get frustrated too.
You still don't get it.
If aliens discovered how to teleport, and humans were totally ignorant of the existence of theses aliens, and totally ignorant of the possibility of teleportation, it would still not matter if every human thought that teleportatiion was supernatural, it would not be supertatural.
Just because some phenomena has an unknown explanation, does not mean that it is supernatural. It only means that the explanatiion is unknown.
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.
