In my point of view,, aliens are not perfect at all.... why ??!
because they live in the same universe that we live in ... so they have a Beginning and an End.
Since, they have this Beginning and End, so they have been created...... Created from Who ???!
Off course from the super being that has the super power who created Everything who is GOD.
Remember that GOD havent been created ,,,GOD dont have a Beginning and an End ........ How come ??!
I will tell you my theory.
You know that there are many people are asking the same question which is: "Who created GOD??" or "GOD created everything, so who created GOD??"
Well, we muslims have a "Hadith" (a statement that prophet Mohamed (pbuh) said) which is: "the devil come to people and tell them GOD created everything, so who created GOD??!" ,,,, the devil tells us this because he want us to not believe in GOD.
So i have a theory on this... which is:
We human and any other being and the universe as a whole have Beginning and End,, and we all know (as theists) that GOD created the universe and everything in it.... the reason of our beginning (birth) and our end (death) will come from inside the universe and totally from the super reason which is GOD's will.
So, we have a Beginning and End because these Beginning and End are stronger than us ,, and then we know that GOD who is created that Beginning and End ,,,, Therefore ,, GOD is stronger than Beginning and End ,,,,,,,,
Therefore GOD dont have Beginning or End.
I know that this is not a religious thread but i mentioned all this here because i think it will help to know that Aliens are not GODs !
And that,, GOD,, lives out of our universe ,, in somewhere dont have a time or a place ,,,because he is in all places and all times ,,,because he is the creator of all places and all times.
i hope this can be usefull for your question ,,this is a little bit religious point of view but it helps to know that Aliens are not GODs ,,, as my point of view.
I hope you can get what i mean
thank u

i agree, i think some of our religious beliefs about gods and jesus and prophets are really based on visitations from a higher life form just as the aztecs thought whitemen were gods. higher technology can only be described as magic or divine force by those who don't understand it. i think aliens are just like humans in their quest to understand the nature of reality and why we are here. perhaps our common quest is why they are attracted to us. i see god as all encompassing and self enveloping - no beginning or end. we can't visualize god, only conceptualize it. we tend to form god in the image of man instead of the other way around like the bible says. because god is outside the constraints of time, everything is already determined in our reality. we think we have free will but really we are just playing out what god has intended to happen, is happening, and will happen. aliens have kind of duped is into believing that they are gods perhaps to help us along with our own spiritual evolution so that in turn, we may help each other get closer to the true nature of reality, scientifically and spiritually. science and religion are inseparable in that they both seek to find the truth behind everything. i think that mary was abducted hence the immaculate conception and that jesus was the first alien/human hybrid. it's kind of ironic that religion today is against stemcell research and cloning since that technology used by aliens created the arguably most important man in history - jesus.
ps. i was raised presbyterian, have read up on eastern philosophy, and now don't ascribe to any religion, just consider myself spiritual
