I wouldn't mind having Mass-Effectian humanoid aliens. What'd scare me, though, is having Star Trek rubber forehead aliens.

I think I'd like to do a human x angel plot or a human x zora plot. Anyone interested?
Also, while we're here, does anybody have any ideas for new types of aliens?

Do you think that maybe I should lengthen the starting post to just skip to us getting there?

Sanders is approved.
Yes and no.
Surprisingly, I really don't believe very much in the supernatural per say. I prefer the term "Seemingly Supernatural". I mean, I think things that were once considered supernatural or are currently considered supernatural exist, but I also think that if we did more research (or were able to do more research), we might eventually understand the physical mechanics behind them. Angels turning out to be theocratic aliens that predate the universe would not surprise me in the slightest.
But as for obtaining gifts from seemingly supernatural forces: sometimes.
One thing to keep in mind is that faith is very, very empowering. It sounds corny, but sometimes the power to succeed was inside you all along, and all you needed was faith to unlock it.
In my opinion, seemingly supernatural forces do hand out power for various reasons, but not as a reward for anything. Rather, they hire human agents to go do things for them, and sometimes these things are of certain importance, so they use seemingly supernatural means to make sure they get done. Or just to show off every once in a while. For example, God led Moses to the red sea, and then split it apart. This was for 3 reasons: to cross it, to demonstrate the he is extraordinarily powerful, and to demonstrate that Moses is on his payroll and should be obeyed.
As for Near-Death-Experiences, I have a sort of neutral opinion on them. If somebody were killed and then resurrected, I do not think they would necessarily have memories of an afterlife, because the brain you use before death and after resurrection did not follow you to heaven. I'm not going to say there's flat out no-merit to near-death experiences when thinking about the afterlife, but I kind of doubt their usefulness.
