An advanced alien could not rationally the satisfy requirements of a self-subsisting necessary ground for all existence. If you truly believe otherwise, I challenge you to demonstrate that an advanced  alien could conceivably be the necessary ground of all existence. That's quite the implicit claim you have made! :-)

As for me, I consider the Principle of Non-Contradiction an Absolute. It is an ever-present effect of the Eternal. If there were/are advanced aliens, they would be equally bound by the PNC. Since the PNC is logically prior to all contingent beings, I could never be rationally convinced that an advanced alien was cause of the PNC.

Is your god subject to the PNC?
