re: Let's suppose aliens are truly real - and they are watching us

Paul Hellyer has already told us the truth.
The ET’s either don’t want to hurt us or they’re not allowed to hurt us.
If the existence of EBT’s makes you not believe in GOD, then you really never believed in the first place.

Where does it say we aren't?
It's silent on the matter. That was the OP's point. C.S. Lewis wrote a trilogy exploring the matter.
Your take on the Bible and the Church is facile and misinformed.
Your points have less to do with aliens and more to do with your visceral hatred of Christ and his Church, or so it seems.
There's plenty of information out there for you to become better informed on the Bible and Christ's Church. Check it out.

That's basically impossible due to the scale of time and space. We haven't even scratched the surface of exploring the galaxy that we're in though. There's 100,000,000,000 planets in the Milky Way alone. Some estimates have it 4x that.
The best case scenario over the next 500 years would be to explore a few hundred planets in our neighbor solar systems.

Probably because the book was written by men who probably hadn't thought much about the possibility of alien life. Our understanding of the universe in ancient times would be considered infantile by today's standards.

According to those 2 Baws in Pascagoula they are real and we better watch our corn holes.

Possibly. Or, the subject and focus were intentionally narrower.
Either way, whether alien life exists or it doesn't shouldn't have any impact on essential Christian theology or doctrine expressed in the historical Creeds.
It's interesting that people are open to belief in alien life, Bigfoot, and hauntings by ghosts yet arrogantly dismiss the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus with such certainty.

A man being the son of a deity and performing genuine miracles is a helluva lot more extreme than Bigfoot and aliens.

As a Christian. I always believed in an invisible race living with us. Some good some bad. Nothing new under the Sun.

You misspelled the word fear.

Well, son of the Deity to be absolutely precise.
By more extreme, do you mean less plausible than aliens, Bigfoot, and ghosts or simply a much bigger deal with greater significance and consequences?

Bigfoot and extraterrestrial life are more plausible than Jesus being divine.
Bigfoot's attributes aren't all that unusual or extreme compared to other life on Earth. It doesn't breathe fire or anything. Bigfoot's only issue is that it's a supposed to be a visible, tangible animal that covers a limited area. If a population existed, one of them almost certainly would have been shot by a hunter or hit by a car or a carcass discovered by a hiker by now.
As for aliens, life is abundant on this planet and it's obviously a big universe. It stands to reason that there's a good chance some form of life exists elsewhere.
As for God, there's nothing we know of that is anything like a deity. And the whole God thing got started when people didn't know shite about the world around them and has been perpetuated in different ways by different cultures so that we can cope better when bad things happen or grandma dies.
I don't believe Bigfoot exists or that aliens have visited Earth, but I would be less shocked by a Harry and the Hendersons or an E.T. situation actually occurring than Left Behind.

That answers my question.
Although you don't believe Bigfoot exists or that aliens have visited us, you give thoughtful reasons supporting their relative plausibility.
Respectfully, your reasons for the implausibility of a deity are far less thoughtful and unreasonably dismissive.
I commented earlier that it seemed people were more inclined to entertain a belief in Bigfoot, aliens, and ghosts while offhandedly dismissing the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus without any honest, thoughtful consideration. It is odd given the relative importance and significance of one over the others.
