No, they haven't.  Saying "Hypothetically aliens might tell us they
created us" is not discussing it in a scientific context.  Neither is
setting forth an argument by analogy.  You have never proposed any
method of testing the proposition.  You have never offered any
observations for consideration.  You certainly have never offered any
papers for peer-review.
