I had a similar discussion with both inimalist (Oliver North) and Digi.
Essentially, the problem still remains as Shakyamunison put it: how is that person to know that the being performing that miracle is of Divine (capital D, yo) origin or is that alien just super advanced? My response is, essentially, that we have eternal souls that are supernatural and immutable and God can communicate to us through our souls. God will tell us if something is Divine.

I think you're putting science on a pedestal that it cannot live up to. You're elevating science into this omniscient entity ...
It's as if you're...

Just because someone or something has supernatural powers and can perform 'miracles' doesn't make them a God or worthy of worship. I would recognise their power and maybe try to become super best friends with them but thats about it.
That's essentially what many Christian people teach: become super best friends with God.

If you had seemingly supernatural powers, knowledge and wisdom beyond my ability to comprehend, and promoted a system of genuine benevolence, I'd definitely do whatever you told me and I would probably worship you...sort of. I wouldn't pray to you: I'd just talk to you.

I can see that. The idea of a savor is a very old one, but it is only an idea.
Why do we need a savor? I know the answer; because Adam sinned when he ate from the tree of knowledge. However, the story of Adam and Eve is not real. It is a story, not a history.

I still don't know enough about Buddhism to debate with you on self preservation vs Godly forgiveness.
