Life is so amazingly and utterly complex and almost and even possibly nearly infatestimally minute in it's organizational levels that this "alien" would have to be God in order to perform it.

There are whole shelves of books on the evolution of complexity. My favorite is: The Evolution of Complexity, by Means of Natural Selection by John Tyler Bonner

It is wonderfully detailed and footnoted. You might want to read it. It's a lot more than ID's one sentence body of work "It's complex so it must have a designer!".

"Life is so amazingly and utterly complex and almost and even possibly nearly infatestimally minute in it's organizational levels that this "alien" would have to be God in order to perform it."

One should not assume that the aliens created life in the advanced stages that we see on Earth in the present day.

It's plausible that the aliens engineered the original DNA itself, and let nature take it's course with the rest. All of the "amazing and utter complexity" that we see today may be a result of natural processes that have occurred over billions of years.
