Yep, it's the only question that's really worth asking.

And if no, in which direction?

If a inferior race of aliens exist and we are superior to them which is probable if superior beings are probable so is inferior beings.
Then yes,by definition,not by my logic,we would be considered as gods by them.Someone already said this before me.

Now you switched gears again, from superior aliens actually being gods to superior aliens being considered gods. You dismissed the Prince Philip cargo cult on exactly those grounds. Now try the question again: are we gods?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Where is the evidence?
Your inane contribution to this thread is the evidence.

And there it is.

A complete misunderstanding or what 'supernatural' actually means.

Yes, it is possible that an inferior alien race, impressed by our drastically advanced technology, would consider us supernatural gods. But would we be?

Just because our technology looks like magic to this hypothetical inferior alien race, does not mean it is supernatural. In the exact same way that a superior alien race to us, would have technology that we can't understand would make them supernatural gods.

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.

I also want this answered. This issue has been presented you in multiple ways by multiple people now, and you haven't really answered it.
