A recent article in Reuters has generated an incredible discussion. The catholic church now says it is okay, from a religious standpoint, to believe in extra-terrestrials. Funny how beliefs can just change. Maybe soon they'll work on that whole no birth control thing. Then again, maybe they know that we need as many humans as possible to defend against a potential invasion. Does the Pope know something we don't vis-a-vis the aliens? From the Reuters article: The Vatican's chief astronomer says there is no conflict between believing in God and in the possibility of "extraterrestrial brothers" perhaps more evolved than humans. "In my opinion this possibility (of life on other planets) exists," said Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, a 45-year-old Jesuit priest who is head of the Vatican Observatory and a scientific adviser to Pope Benedict. "How can we exclude that life has developed elsewhere," he told the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano in an interview in its Tuesday-Wednesday edition, explaining that the large number of galaxies with their own planets made this possible. Asked if he was referring to beings similar to humans or even more evolved than humans, he said: "Certainly, in a universe this big you can't exclude this hypothesis". |
