A curious question to a religious believer.
Imagine that we have found extra-terrestrial life on a distant place of the universe, which is not very improbable event. Imagine that there are sentient beings, which are advanced that we are, so we can communicate with them by some reason that they have presented to us. Imagine that they gave us their own belief system, which is based on evidence and logic - that they are children of the universe. They also value only consciousness and they achieved immortality of it, by storing it. I think my point should be clear by now. Will you accept their belief system (and why) or will you try to convert them to your religion - Christianity or whatever, and how?

Why do you think that it would be falsified? In case described, probably yes, since they went farther then us and it will proof that we just thought not good enough to eliminate all supernatural believes.
But there is a good bet that we can meet civilization at the same stage of development and with the monotheism, which will proof Christianity at some level.
