This scientist who wrote a paper about the 4th dimension had this to say about what a 4d being, appearing to us would look like to our eyes.

"We would see disconnected blobs of flesh, some attached to claws, teeth, lips, eyes, or hair..."

Reading that made me wonder if biblical Angels are 4th or 5th dimensional beings that appeared to people in the past with environmental warnings or something, and of course an ancient human would see that and immediately think it's a celestial being

If humans are bound to a three dimensional realm it only makes sense that god created angels as higher dimensional beings to intercede between the limited humans and the infinity of god.

How interesting that god in their infinite wisdom would fail to account for the design flaw. Or maybe they were lazy and just didn't care how these beings would appear to us.

Can an infinite being be lazy or fail to account for a design flaw? Seems less than infinitely wise to me.

And if it's just a test, why is this infinitely wise being running quality assurance on his creation. Shouldn't all that infinite wisdom have precluded the need for testing?

I mean, celestial means "the heavens" so... they pretty much are. Like even if they had a different mode of travel altogether that would allow bypassing traveling through space, they still would have come from the stars... or beyond this universe (or something even weirder like time).
