I thought L. Ron Hubbard would be the alien savior?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

"Yes but can't you see they're still representations of the One True Christ so all you're doing is proving my point?"

3... 2... 1...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

The very first depictions of Jesus looked like this btw.

And the real historical Jesus may have looked like this.

So back then they thought that Jesus was a cute teenage girl?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
