What If Extraterrestrials Were Christians?

If we encountered aliens from another part of the Galaxy, and they're wearing crucifixes, and they're talking about the only begotten Son of God who was raised on the third day according to Passover rituals, that has the same sort of astronomical timing of events and things like that, you realize okay, the only way this has any plausibility of happening is. Either the ancient astronaut hypothesis is real and the aliens are going around telling the same story, but Jesus with the mustache changing every single time he goes to these places, or there really is that this God that's spreading this message across the universe. And yeah, on the atheist would be really hard for us to explain this in any sort of naturalistic way, so. Yeah, it if the aliens came in their Christian or even I would even have to necessarily go as far as say even if they're Christian, if the aliens come and they're religious. And they're also more technologically advanced. It's also probably the case that they're also more philosophically advanced. They've had if they've had, say, another 10,000 years of technological development, they probably another 10,000 years of theological and philosophical development. So if they come down and say, yeah, all of our philosophers are religious, we have these great proofs. That are way better than anything archeologists that come up with. I would be, you know, somewhat in argument from authority, but the fact of the matter is, if you know people who are have studied this more and better say something, you should be taking that into account on your probability of things being true. So if the aliens come and they've had their own super Thomas Aquinas. We should probably sit back and listen because they know things we don't.
