The rest of scientology can be termed ocular rectitis
That and all the other "ancient alien" stuff sounds plausible, but you first have to get by general relativity since realistically it all depends on travelling much faster than light. Either it is possible in a linear fashion (warp speed), or wormholes are traversable by life forms, or it is possible to fold space-time. In all cases, the power curve might be unattainable, unless there is a way to tap into zero point energy or negate dark energy, and even then you have to deal with inertia. That technology is probably thousands, if not millions of years beyond us.
Then all you have to do is explain why the aliens made themselves known to our ancestors to the point that they were worshipped as gods, but are reluctant to reveal themselves to modern man. Or even why bother with us at all. As Mr. Spock said in one episode, they are probably as far beyond us on the evolutionary scale as we are above an amoeba.

That leaves me out. My mom did tell me I was special.

I am unwilling to devote any attention to a "religion" that was created by a professional author of Science Fiction.

And I don't recall Dianetics among either the Old or New Testaments.

Tal: Man has finally learned sophisticated ways for mining big data on a continuum. Now the task of arranging and interpreting this data into accurate and useful findings. Every single technical device, phone,car, computer, etc collects data.

What we saw as science fiction in our youth is a reality today.

My only regret is that I will not be around as man continues to uncover the universe's secrets. My only concern here is that scientist do not compromise their integrity for the sake of fame because it will only result in lack of trust to the entire community of scientists.
