The Human uses God our Creator in Heaven which really translates into Aliens from the sky.
No, no they don't...
When the vast majority of humanity speaks of God, they are, of course, not refering to little green/gray guys from Zeta Reticualii, or whereever the hell they're supposedly from...
Aliens from the sky...that was good for a giggle this morning, thank you.

maybe the church knows numbers are slipping, so they are setting up alien websites for more donations?
Many, if not most Christian churches teach that salvation is a gift which can in no way be bought earned or in any other way 'acquired'. Therefore your example of the church is faulty.
History of indulgences
[edit] Early and medieval beliefs
In the early church, especially from the third century on, ecclesiastic authorities allowed a confessor or a Christian awaiting martyrdom to intercede for another Christian in order to shorten the other's canonical penance.[3]
The sixth-century Council of Epaon witnesses to the rise of the practice of replacing severe canonical penances with something new and milder. It became customary to commute penances to less demanding works, such as prayers, alms, fasts and even the payment of fixed sums of money depending on the various kinds of offences (tariff penances). By the tenth century some penances were not replaced but merely reduced in connection with pious donations, pilgrimages and similar meritorious works. Then, in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the recognition of the value of these works began to become associated not so much with canonical penance but with remission of the temporal punishment due to sin.[30]
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

I never said I had proof, I said "evidence". I'm not sure "proof" is even possible without a ship landing to provide it, and that isn't likely to happen soon.
Did you know the the entire known Universe is moving toward a single point? Moving at near the speed of light as I understand it. That point is not in the known physical Universe.

Also, the whole notion of traveling from galaxy to galaxy is quite possible.

Hmm... Last I heard you were Content to let this Thread Die. Looks like you're Being a bit Contradictory. No Worries though, I'd much Prefer to Disagree with Someone who Sticks to their Guns. Maybe you should Refer to what I said about Mirrors and Think about what An Actor does when he Makes a Movie.
