Agreed, as with creationism and theistic arguments, just because there is no natural explanation at present does not mean that one does not exist. But, what observational evidence can be brought to bear on this scientific question?
My thinking is, we should wait for more data before jumping to conclusions.
And refer to the experts, of course.
Oh, I agree, absolutely. KIC 8462852, in my opinion, draws some nice parallels with creationism, ID, and theism, in general, in that professional scientists are working to gather more data, make more observations, etc. It seems that the standard "Extraordinary claims require..." is applying here.
