The imagination of mankind is virtually limitless.
So much so that it’s popular to think there is no God and that we all got here by some monumental chain of accidents. What better way for the great deceiver than to send his own minions in the guise of super intelligent aliens from outer space?

Kind of like a talking serpent.

That is really poor reasoning and reminds me of the arguments of some Christians that dinosaur bones and other evidence pointing to the earth being billions of years old, were made by Satan to deceive us.

Truth is truth and all truth comes from God who is a God of Truth. Whatever is true is from him. If extraterrestrials exist and come to earth, irrefutably proving their existence; then their reality originates from God, not Satan.

Heck, Satan’s power is overrated - he can’t create a single tangible proof on earth that disproves God’s existence. Why assume he can elsewhere?

So God created a huge universe, put life on one planet, and gave the rest over to Satan? Wow... You think God wouldn't just handover 99.99999% of His Creation to Satan. The case you're making is that Satan is more powerful than God. Just whose side are you on?

After all, why shouldn't God create, through whatever means, more than one intelligent species to proclaim His glory? He's more than worthy enough. Just whose side are you on?

Funny thing is, given the diverse possibilities of form that life could take, per the teachings of evolution, intelligent life could take a huge variety of forms. There is no reason it would have to look even close to human.

As such, if there are aliens that closely resemble humans and who are easily capable of communicating with us. That would be evidence that there is some template to creation that is not random. It would, indeed, be evidence for a Creator. And yet, here you are suggesting that some of the best evidence for a Creator would actually be the work of Satan. Just whose side are you on?

If Satan is the great deceiver, it's quite possible that he would try to trick us into thinking his minions are good guys. But it's just as possible that the deceiver would try to trick us into thinking Godly creatures are his minions. Just whose side are you on?

Beg to differ. Where in the Bible does it say that God never created anything else but Earth? It's a little simplistic and arrogant to think that the God of the entire Universe stopped with just us.
