Well, consider that some theists believe that human beings were created out of dirt - and yet they still maintain that we are special. It doesn't seem as though this claim to being special is actually based upon what were made out of, whether that stuff is real or imagined, eh? After all, even a theist could tell you that dirt is pretty damned common. 
Extraterrestrial life wouldn't pose a problem for gods created and chosen anymore than coming into contact with other human beings (ostensibly -not- gods created and chosen) did. Finding complex life, a human being not tied to their god stories, failed to impress...I don't think they'd be any more taken aback by alien bacteria.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
