13. The super natural wouldn't be super natural if it could be scientifically explained.

But the point I was trying to make was that humans tend to create that of their own image. The gods of old were basically humans with super powers. The average layman of today who believes UFOs aliens are visiting Earth think of them as humanoids who travel in mechanical contraptions. It's a way to explain phenomena that, at the time, cannot be understood. UFOs are spacecraft operated by humanoid aliens as the Sun was Apollo riding a horse drawn chariot across the sky.

I readily concede that my description of aliens possibly being pure energy is scientifically not tenable, I do think that we ought to consider the possibility that aliens, if they exist, are not close to being humanoid in form nor do they travel by means that humans could possibly create or use.
