Not stupid. Absolutely plausible. Or said this way: Things we interpret as actions by god may have been actions by an alien (or time traveller).

It's amazing how a sentence or two, can be "interpreted" to cover things which could not even have been imagined, by the people that wrote them.

I really tried to be a believer, so I actually read the bible. What I learned turned me off god and religion. Now, I can refute the people you describe using their own, and only, source of justification. But I don't charge or ask for donations.
