It's not really my problem since i am an atheist, which is why i said the significance was that it would be cool.
How does that throw a wrench in the spokes of that theory?
Well there are a number of ways to go with that. What created them? Is it another God, is it the same? What was his purpose for doing that then? If it was made by the christian God, why absolutely no mention of their creation in the Bible? That would be a pretty major hole in the story telling. "oh yeah you know where i created heaven and hell and the earth and man? I kinda got drunk one night and had a bunch of eff ups that i threw on another planet...but don't worry they won't bother you for a few millennium at least"
Especially if they came to us way before we had the technology to get to them, they would obviously be more advanced and civilized than us.
I mean really, i can't see how Aliens and Christianity can work in any non contradictory way.
