If God created Alien life on other worlds, would it Kill the belief in God. For example according to the Bible in the last days the following will happen.
“Their slain will be left unburied, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood. All the stars of heaven will be dissolved. The skies will be rolled up like a scroll, and all their stars will fall like withered leaves on the vine, and foliage on the fig tree. When My sword has drunk its fill in the heavens, then it will come down upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction”
why would God punish Alien life with destruction that had nothing to do with mans sin and downfall. It would make absolutely no sense!

Now, the New York Times is reporting that the secretive task force is expected to release new and alarming findings that may involve vehicles made of materials not of this planet.
Presumably you realize that the NYT "blockbuster" was an entirely predictable dud. If you're waiting for some startling disclosure, don't hold your breath.
If there are in fact beings made in God's image elsewhere in the universe, God has presumably dealt with them appropriately and will do so at the end times.
If life elsewhere in the universe consists of the equivalent of giant amoebae and cockroaches, it will presumably perish with the earthly amoebae and cockroaches.

Your entire premise is flawed when you ask "Why would God punish Alien life with destruction that had nothing to do with mans sin and downfall?" On what basis other than the Bible--a faulty inaccurate mishmash of disjointed stories skewered so ridiculously toward Jewish superiority that it is immediately discounted as anything that should be taken seriously--on what basis other than the Bible do you make the assumption God would punish alien life? I mean where in the Bible does it even suggest such an incredible thing, unless you're associating Edom with aliens.
Best as we see in reality, not the fantasy world Christianity has constructed for itself and its minions, God doesn't pass judgement on anybody for anything on the earth. He's totally divorced from what goes on down here and I think His complete absence on earth makes that abundantly clear. Please name me one case where it has been demonstrated with concrete evidence, not conjecture, that God punished anybody?
It's like asking "If I plant asparagus in my garden, will it kill belief in Santa Claus?"
No, its not nonsensical at all...
If these beings are so much more advanced than we are, and considering how they have been seen for 1000s of years, the possibility of them being 'our creators' is very real.
For all we know, the bible may be a purely human creation of stories. The question of whether or not there is an all powerful creator God would still be relevant,(something would have had to create these advanced aliens too), but this God may not be anything like the God in our bible.

God is NOT anything like the God in our bible. God is like the God Jesus revealed and demonstrated unambiguously, contradicting all of the barbarity and savagery attributed to God in the Bible by our primitive ancestors.
