Update and what about Aliens?

I wanted to update yall on the previous post. The family is doing great. They're really depending on God to get them through all this. A couple weeks before this all happened, we had a lesson in the youth about how when a tragedy happens, you either grow closer to God or you distance yourself from Him. The oldest teen (18) in the family has seemed to have grown so much closer with the Lord. He's been telling his friends about Christ, as well as studying his Bible daily. It's just amazing to see what God can do through tragedies like this.

Ok, so Aliens. Today at the office, my new boss (professes to be Christian, and i honestly think he is saved) and another guy at the office begin a conversation about aliens, Area 51, government cover-up. I work in the same room as my boss, almost face-to-face, or at least that's how our desks sit. Well, the conversation begins to take a spiritual turn, talking about creation, so i figure this is God telling me to speak Truth to these guys. My boss says that he thinks if he were God, it would have been boring to only create us humans on Earth, and he would have created other beings on other planets as well. So, i speak up and say it's dangerous for us to say statements like, "if i were God...". I said i have no idea if there is life on other planets or in space, because God's ways are not my ways, and all i know is what is in the Bible. I did tell them that if there is life elsewhere, they were created to give God glory. They would have to know Jesus as their Savior to get to heaven. Unless, maybe they're like animals, which are unable to receive salvation. How do yall witness to people while talking with them about aliens and such? Any scripture that yall know of that may relate to this topic? Thanks!
