Yes, this is one part. The God of the Abrahamic religious tradition is as invisible as the gods of other traditions. I would say that this tradition is by no means more or less justified than any other form of belief.
However, I want to add that even atheists are full of magical thinking and seem to believe in invisible, supernatural entities. They call these "moral properties", "rights", and "laws". You cannot see these entities, you cannot experience them, and it does not matter—our culture relies on them.
Even randomness, as it cannot be explained further, can be seen as a part of this...

I do not want to imply the people in the past has been stupid or something like that. When we trust the explaination of antrophologists, the time of human history is simply not enough for a meaningful change in traits like intelligence. Thus, the old Chinese or Romans or whatever must be seen as just as intelligent as a person who lives today.
The problem is that, from the viewpoint of a average educated person from 2425, we may appears just as the rural Mesopotamian farmer. Or at least, I hope that the trek of discovering new truths are not yet exhausted...

No, they arn't.
You made this shit up because the existence of aliens doesn't fit in your poor, one-bookish worldview.

So, the prophets of the Old Testament were, according to you, fooled by some demons? ;-)
If you would really believe in your own bullshit, then you would have reasons to doubt even your biblical believe system. As you don't do it, you seem to lie. Not necessarly with the intention to delude somebody else. I believe your rather starts to lie to yourself.

Actual alien life forms would not react to "Jesus".
So, we have to alternatives:
1.) This is a literally proof of God.
2.) This just shows that the so called aliens from the UFOs are merely a product of phantasies. As fantasies, this shades of dreams, are more or less under the controll of the person who imagined them, their believe that the name of Jesus will protect them will actually protect them.

Because, in the mayority of people, the desire to believe is stronger than reason. The recorded history of the world gives a persuading witness account for this. When you find yourself truelly in such a situation, your last doubt will vanish.
The want to believe is stronger than the weight of evidence and the power of rationality.
