Is man capable of Alien thought?

Alien as in can we think of anything that is not inspired from nature already??

eg, all man made inventions are already inspired from something we have seen on the planet previously.

any sci-fi programme to create an alien, the alien is made up from various animal parts to create something alien, when in fact it is entirely earthlike.

Is it impossible to think of anything truely extra-terrestrial?

Anything we invent or create is just a elaboration or progression from something natural...

Is there anything humans have thought up not inspired from this planet? Do we not have the intelligence required for this?

-Could this point to a Divine creator?

-Is there anything we have made entirely human, not inspired from nature?

I don't think so. I don't think that there's anything in nature that works quite like an internal combustion engine, an MRI machine, etc.
