I know a very evangelistic Christian woman (83 years old) who first didn't believe aliens could possibly be responsible for 'engineering' mankind as part of an experiment on one of their backwater planet labs, or that aliens could exist at all. But now she believes it's all quite possible simply because she has come to "realize" that God would be responsible for making those aliens, so the narrative maintains its self-consistency and there is no threat to the religion.
