Why do we have to believe in fairy tales and things that are done using a magic wand?
I have never said this is fairy tale and a magic wand. I accept that right now, the process of resurrection from death, particularly if one's body is blown to smitheries for example, with noting to bury and how resurrection processes in any instance, even with a fully incorporated dead body, is fully understood; just that it happens and does not involve magic of any kind, but a process that is entirely natural. We cannot claim to know how all such processes work, just that do and will when necessary. Scientific knowledge is not yet complete, but that does not imply that magic explains the unknown.
No, I do not believe God uses a magic wand. I believe he understands natural law and far greater extent than we do, and employs it by word of command, just as we have some power to engage natural law by our "command," i,.e., making use of the processes of natural law we do understand now, and will continue to learn because there is no end to gaining new knowledge, and gaining the experience to use it.
Your question of how Jesus ascended to heaven goes back to assertion of magic. It's merely a process we do not yet undirstrand, in agreement with my immediate previous statement. I believe in scientific principle, I just don't think we have yet plumbed the depth of it. We will. That is what eternity is for.
Aliens, not angels? Does it really matter what we call "off-Earth aliens?" We use that term, now, and it is probably accurate - people who do not live on Earth, or at least were not born here, or are people who were born here, and have advanced, some have been resurrected and now come back from time to time. Just because some of these "aliens" call themselves names, God the Father, Jesus Christ, Moroni, John the Baptist, Peter, James and John, Gabriel, and who knows who else - does all that make any difference? I believe the universe is fully inhabited by people like us, and who may have different traits than we express, like maybe having long, sentient tails and blue skin, and oneness with nature, and we, ourselves, express a wide variety of appearance, but all humanoid. Hell, we have not yet even reached agreement that we area all really the same under the skin, and until we do, we blunt our progress. Thus, in the end analysis, I do. not separate science and religion. Not just two coins, and not even just one coin of two sides, but the same side of one coin. And how these "aliens" travel about the universe... a spaceship? perhaps, some. Others may have learned how to transport themselves by command of thought. Who knows? One day, we will know. I can live with the temporary disappointment of not yet knowing all things. Sometimes I wonder if God, himself, knows all things, or has experienced all things, yet. I argue that the body of knowledge is endless, and that he, our God the Father - and I believe there are many such individuals with children spread across the universe, like us, gong through our same experience of eternal progression. We are not alone, but I do think we are all ultimately related. That means I believe God has brothers, and sisters, uncles, aunts, grandparents, and so on...all have become gods, leading and teaching their children...
