"Or, preferably, the unquestionable detectability of the alien him/her/itself, plainly visible or sensible to all." It's been done. Throughout history men have cried about this. Why doesn't God just show me plainly, bla bla bla ... if God would reveal to me the truth for my own eyes to see then I would bow down or whatever and that would be that. Yet, messengers have come with irrefutable evidence. Made no difference. They typically get stoned or hung from cross beams and such. Believe, don't believe, but nothing that can be demonstrated for you in this universe will change the fact that it is singularly a matter of free will to do so. Show you what? The characterisation of God, is that God is the limitless Alpha and Omega of existence, defying limiting descriptors. Which microscope do you think would work best? Not surprised that you would want to biopsy some poor anal probing alien. There is a cool scripture that says, 'Though shalt not tempt the lord your God'. What does it mean? It means that you have been given every resource and miracle to make sense of your existence. Yet you insist that an all powerful creator answer to you and prove something to you via what flashes of light, burning bushes... lol. How egotistical... but then you avoid questions of purpose, they don't work in your paradygm. What do you think you are here for if not to establish your faith or fail to do so? Oh yeah, you don't think about that. Too risky?
