If aliens turned up I'd love to see the major religions

They'd have to deny that their beliefs are flagrantly at odds with reality.
They'd have a hard time doing that.

On the contrary
They don't seem to have any difficulty denying that their beliefs are at odds with reality- the problem comes from getting them to admit it.
