    They are too busy discovering the identity of the smartest person ever lived who blamed it on God and got away with it. :D

    "I’d like to start a religion. That’s where the money is." -L. Ron Hubbard to Lloyd A. Eshbach, in 1949; quoted by Eshbach in OVER MY SHOULDER: REFLECTIONS ON A SCIENCE FICTION ERA, Donald M. Grant Publisher. ISBN 1-880418-11-8, 1983

    I think the aliens would probably take Hubbard's route rather than convert.

    I think so. But I never played halo, so I didn't get the joke :p

    That's actually something that I seriously considered when I was young. :) Who knows, they may be laughing at us thinking that we're pretty stupid. ;)

    Anyways, aliens simply would not convert to Christianity. I'd say 0% possibility.

    1. "God created the heavens and the earth." Do you consider other planets, space, anything outside the earth heaven? Christianity simply does not state aliens in the beginning, so I don't see them converting at all when the religion does not even apply to them in a sense.

    2. If aliens even were to come over to our pale blue dot and see this group of people called Christians and Christianity, would they even believe it? First off, I think they'd laugh at Christianity along with all the other religions and not to forget, our lame technology. Aliens can only be (insert a big number :D) light years away. The technology that would carry them here would already have disproved so many parts of religions and even some of our scientific theories. Especially the 2nd law of thermodynamics would probably be broken by then, which would completely throw Christianity off the board. Now this is an if but if this wasn't true, then how else would aliens arrive at the earth? Are we going to send radio signals like SETI, except with Bible verses? Simply not.

    Regarding this talk about evolution, aliens could really only exist through evolution. Now, I'm asserting this from my very limited knowledge in Christianity. I was no fan of the Bible class (and I'm still not right now) so I'm not sure if this was ever addressed or not, but evolution is simply possible. 2nd law of thermodynamics, yada yada, but that's just a scientific "fact" that Christians tend to really only know about. But using this thing called "common sense", just think about it. In this vast amount of space called....... um... "space" the chances of evolution happening, the chances of an accidents happening, is just so immense. So immense that it is simply mind-boggling. It is harder to prove that evolution does not work, that spontaneous creation does not exist, than proving that they both work. We aren't talking about an accident happening in our little solar system that is simply nothing compared to the net size of space (Although Jupiter's moon Europa is a strong evidence. Only if humans could live long enough to see evolution happening...). We are talking the whole universe. There is no way we could be the only life forms in this universe. If we were, I'd feel very lonely, despite the 6.4 billion population.

    While Darwin and other evolutionists have shown strong facts to support theory of evolution, even simple common sense shows us that denying evolution is denying... for example the idea of stem cells.
