Signs of divine or non-human intelligence.

Is there anything contained within any sacred text or alleged alien communication that transcends human knowledge and wisdom? In other words, "Where is the evidence for any text or communication being generated by something other than a human being in the way of practical knowledge a human could not supply?

That my friend, is a hell of a good question.

Just to get the ball rolling...
There have been numerous claims of such. A few off the top of my head:
The Book of Mormon (& about a jillion other God/man encounters with spiritual rules announced)
Lotsa Contactee claims including Adamski's knowledge of the outer solar system,
Menger's alien piano music, and Van Tassel's Integretron...
Don't forget Betty Hill's star map. (Somehow ET navigates 3D space with 2D charts!)

Not quite alien communication, but as for that ET tech allegedly recovered from New Mexico, it must have been introduced into our civilization so slowly it was indistinguishable from our own technological advances.

None of the examples you cite are of practical knowledge that exceeds the capability of human beings to generate. Tales of invisible worlds and powers are just more evidence of the power of the human imagination to generate fantastic tales that have no practical application in the real world. See what I'm getting at?

Not evidence, but the claim was made

The woman allegedly channeled information from aliens after which the Thule Societywas created. they went on to build something called the Vril Machine. It allegedly was a saucer shape interdimensional time travel machine. Their first flight was allegedly in 1934.

Vril Society - Crystalinks

Not evidence, but the claim was made ...Vril Society

The fact that Germany lost the war and no evidence exists to support their claims pretty regulates the Vril communications to human imagination in my book.

There are just endless examples of alleged divine and alien communications through history. In all of that where is the real world evidence (as opposed to invisible, intangible, mental or "spiritual" evidence) that humans didn't dream it all up? Either one of us could no doubt sit down and create a complex fantasy and pass it off as a divine or alien inspired insight into reality. However, neither of us could actually come up with anything that hasn't already been done or that couldn't be a product of the human imagination or science. Conversely, if the creator alien gods, Earth spirits, or whatever gave us a method for purifying ocean water that involves a revolutionary new science (assuming neither of us have any knowledge of such things before hand) and it actually worked, was adopted, and changed the world, that would be a horse of different color.
