Your argument is fallacious: You question the ability of Allmighty to create the very similar race on any other celectial body. After all, Star Treck proved we can interbreed with Klingons, Vulcans, etc. proving we all are the same kind ! 
If you read carefully, I didn't question the Almighty's ability. I just said it was inconsistent with His nature. God can do whatever he wants. However, he has revealed himself in his word and in nature, and I believe that he is consistent and doesn't change....Greybeard
Should I even go there... yes. The Christian God (and all other religions) is a creation of mankind to explain things that we can not explain otherwise.
