You're talking about here on earth. What we know is that we don't know how any of what you're saying would apply elsewhere, or what their beliefs would or wouldn't entail or what effect they would have on their pursuit of science. We also know that it's perfectly possible to believe in god and pursue science.
So they'll be like "I believe that God-alien made everything, but I know we evolved from a common ancestor from the past history of the planet". It would be very awkward, but it is possible, but I'm just saying that it's not too likely for that to happen because unless they learned their knowledge about reality first, religion might be a larger priority for them. It would be marvelous if different beings from different planets came. A extremely religious civilization and an extremely scientific.
