Aliens vs. God

So I just had a thought. Bear with my ramblings...

If we're not alone in this universe, we should hope that alien life doesn't come to Earth, but that we begin to explore the universe and then discover life out there.

The reason for this is simple. We have this notion that God created us, humans, in his own image, and we are his children. We are superior creatures to everything else on our planet. In the extra-solar world, would that view of ourselves change?

If extra-terrestrial life comes to Earth and finds us, we can no longer claim superiority. We are not superior to those aliens. They've obviously developed more and better technologies than we have. So how could we claim to be superior any longer?

If the aliens had a civilization older than our own, then God must have created them first. They would be God's first born children. If their civilization were younger than ours, then they are superior in their surpassing our technologies in less time.

Our only claim for superiority would be if their civilization was older than ours. We could then claim that God "fixed" his design between creating the aliens and creating us. We are the "new & improved" beings.
