In those days, anything that was superhuman could be done with advanced technologies. More advanced that even what we have today, whether it is walking on water or replicating fish and bread. There is evidence in ancient artwork that angels and such were otherworldly, meaning not from this world. There is a whole strain of thought that the story contained within the Bible (and other ancient scripts) suggests that we have been visited in the past by other world beings, in the sense of novels such as "Dune." As our technology grows, and we are able to levitate and create food from air (like in Star Trek) or even resurrect from death (in some medical cases, we already do), will more people begin to believe another story? Hard to say, given that faith still has persisted even throughout this last technologically advancing century.
