I never said that god created everything in 6 days. I'm not a christian. I don't think you understood the question, you seem to be centering most of what you're saying on religions here on earth, mainly christianity. What I was saying was, if extra terrestrials came here, and if they happened to be religious (it goes without saying that their religion would not be identical to christianity, to say the least), how would atheists get on with them? Being an atheist doesn't equal being a scientist. But those atheists who do know something about science, would they try to educate these religious ETs about science, or would it be a case of the ETs educating all of us about science? Surely they'd know much more than any scientist here, whether atheist or not.
