Re: I don't get the alien hate

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I'm seeing your full point here.

To accept that the Arkh could have otherworldly powers OR to accept the possibility of aliens would both require suspension of disbelief on the part of the viewer (which required the greater amount would of course depend on the viewer). I don't quite get how the two are fundamentally that different.

Contextually is another matter, of course, because saying that aliens were responsible for something that an ancient civilization was supposed to have accomplished is problematic. With THAT, I can definitely see why people would feel insulted.

I mean, if you can't see the difference between a religious object having supernatural power and aliens existing then I don't know how I can explain it to you, but the supernatural and the paranormal are not the same thing. So it's perfectly understandable for people to suspend belief to accept one and not the other.

That's the same point somebody made. If you're trying to argue that the problem in this case would the breaking of a established genre, yes I can see and understand this point.

All I wanted to say that for some people the fact that those religious object really have supernatural powers is just as unbelievable as the alien thing.

Hmm... okay, I think I see what you're saying now, though I still disagree about whether the supernatural and paranormal are really that different. In my opinion, they're simply two sides of the same coin - phenomena which occur that are beyond the normal - with the only major difference being that paranormal phenomena can be scientifically tested and reproduced whereas the supernatural cannot.
