"A transcendent God, like Allah or the Christian Trinity, exists outside spacetime, crafting it from nothing (ex nihilo). Extraterrestrials, no matter how godlike, likely evolved within the universe’s 13.8-billion-year history. Even if they predate humanity by eons or live in higher dimensions (a sci-fi staple), they’re bound by physicality or some form of existence tied to the cosmos. Could they fake transcendence? Maybe—imagine them projecting a voice from the sky or rewriting physics locally. But true transcendence implies being uncaused, eternal, and limitless, beyond even the wildest alien capabilities."

Etymology

From un- + caused.
