"'Fairy changelings have always been considered a legend. Nothing in our data suggests any motive for nonhuman intelligences to steal a child...nor any method by which they could if they wanted to, assuming the parents take normal care...and certainly no reason for such hypothetical kidnapers to leave a sort of golem in its place.'" (p. 160)
However, although the uncertainty principle allows psychic influences (temptations, visions, inspirations etc) between universes, the conservation laws prevent material transferences unless the transferred object is replaced:
"'...with an identical amount of matter, whose configuration has to be fairly similar to preserve momentum.'" (p. 165)
Outstanding. But I am not sure about the next sentence:
"'You may remember Villegas suggested this was the reason angels take more or less anthropomorphic shapes on earth.'" (p. 165)
Each angel appearing on Earth has displaced a human being? But could they not have displaced matter corresponding more to whatever is their real shape?

Kaor, Paul!
I would think an angel would most likely displace simple matter when/if taking on a human form. Something like a human form would be necessary so humans could UNDERSTAND what they were seeing, to some degree. The strange angels described by Isaiah in his inaugural vision in Isaiah 6 can't be truly said to be very humanoid in appearance. The prophet might have been given a glimpse of what angels truly "looked" like.
