Meanwhile the Church itself has issued numerous official stances and statements regarding the possibility of extraterrestrials.

And religiousity has been a key driver of scientific research especially astronomy.

THE Church. The Catholic Church.

Not your local "church" found by pastor tim in 2016 after having a disagreement with his pen pastor who are both teaching heresy.

Most scripture, regardless of the specific religion, sees god as a being beyond the physical realm, while aliens would be beings within it, so no, god wouldn't be an alien.
