But the main problem I have with the existence of Aliens, as I do in a
belief in Christ (or Christian interpretation of Christ) is why do these
entities always cooperate so completely in the orchestration of earthly
power. Their silence in terms of revealing themselves to everyone on this
planet just makes them pawns in the game under the control of powerful men.
Why would they be complicit in such a conspiracy? They demonstrate no self
will or agenda of their own.

I would suggest that you rethink the analogous relationships between Christ 
and aliens. 

Christ clearly stated His agenda, predicted His demise and why, and 
utilized it for a prestated purpose. I don't believe that this is 
refutable.

Aliens, otoh, who knows but one has to step back and try very hard to 
rationalize that intelligence capable of light year travel would somehow 
arrive here without a plan, an agenda and a very strong sense of being 
successful.

If you wish to argue that aliens, like Christ, believe their mission is 
from God, then I would suggest we get the Blues Brother(s) online as 
material evidentiary witnesses.
