1) Love is a demonstrable effect of hormones and brain functions
2) The monster was a marketing strategy
3) UFO's. Seeing as we are finding huge numbers of exoplanets and the universe is 13 billion years old it is a possibility
4) Mass conciousness = subjective experience

What is recently? Bacteria have been known to exist for centuries (1600's?), since microscopes were discovered pretty much. Unlike God they were discovered because they could be seen with the human eyes. Evidence of links between bacteria and illness were found through rationale scientific enquiry, something which will never provide evidence of God. Faith in God is based on evidence in a book, a scientist may have faith that something is going on however this is not quite the same thing because their faith will be based on some form of rational evidence. Trying to say they are both the same is just plain wrong. Kant wrote about this in the 1700's and I have to admit to feeling his thoughts having more creedance on this issue.
