VATICAN CITY - The Vatican's chief astronomer says that believing in aliens does not contradict faith in God.
The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, said that the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.
In an interview published Tuesday by Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Funes said that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith" because aliens would still be God's creatures

Re: Vatican: It's ok to believe in aliens
Tue, May 13, 2008 - 4:51 PMI can see it now. The Vulcans land in the Vatican and say "Take me to your leader", and they bring them to Joey the Ratt.
Or better still.
The spaceship lands and the aliens come out and they say, "Hey, Bubalah, which way to the wailing wall?"
Pope Joey the Ratt is abducted by space aliens who demand a thousand tons of diamonds to give him back. The synagogues of the world take up a collection and offer the aliens a 1500 tons of diamonds to keep him. -

Tue, May 13, 2008 - 4:53 PMDon't mind me, I was just in my favorite Asian supermarket and I was approached by a Jewish guy from New York telling me about how cheap the produce was.
I'm feeling really ethnic right now.

Wed, May 14, 2008 - 7:03 AMA jewish friend/co-worker told me a really funny jewish joke (which you have probably already heard).
Why are Jewish men circumcised?
Because Jewish women won't touch anything less than 25% off.

Re: Vatican: It's ok to believe in aliens
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 2:22 PMI'm not surprised the Vatican would believe in Aliens...after all they believe in another "unseen/unproven" Entity
"Jesus Christ". -

Re: Vatican: It's ok to believe in aliens
Wed, May 14, 2008 - 7:48 PMYep after all Jesus might as well be an "Alien" flying saucer stories are about as "Reliable" as stories of the presence of Jesus! -

Re: Vatican: It's ok to believe in aliens
Wed, May 21, 2008 - 4:48 AMTo be a Christian is very much like believing in Aliens,after all Jesus Christ is a "Sentient Being"(an "Alien" Entity)
Proving Aliens in their sleek flying saucers are for real is just as difficult as proving Jesus exist's,they are about on the same level.

Re: Vatican: It's ok to believe in aliens
Fri, May 23, 2008 - 8:49 AMLet us suppose for the sake or argument that there really are sentient aliens who are free of original sin. Would that entail that they lack free will? The ability to discern right from wrong? Do they run around naked all the time? -

Re: Vatican: It's ok to believe in aliens
Fri, May 23, 2008 - 10:53 AMOf course they (Aliens) are naked Krampus!
Clothing is a "Christian Concept" to "Cover that THING" becuase "It's" a SIN LOL! -
