Vatican Says Alien Life Plausible
An anonymous reader writes "According to BBC, the director of the Vatican Observatory stated in an article titled 'Aliens Are My Brother' that intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space. 'The search for forms of extraterrestrial life does not contradict belief in God. — Just as there are multiple forms of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God.' Mind that this is not the same director who said that evolution is more than a mere theory — that was Father Coyne. I myself agree. There might be intelligent beings created by God in outer space even if there are none here on earth."
And who is this God they are referring to ?
SPACE POPE INDAHOUS
I'm waiting for an answer from a legitimate authority.

Doesn't the Pope have direct communication with god? Why doesn't he just ask for christ's sake?
C.
"Doctor, it's not the voices I hear in MY head, but the voices I hear in YOUR head that really frighten me."
... just made humans as a cautionary example, and shows us on CCTVs all over the Universe as a sort of "The More You Know!" service.
I like to place meaningful quotes in my sig, so people will know that I know what meaningful quotes are.
And is the Catholic church going to fund expeditions to these alien civilisations in order to convert them? Kinda sounds familiar, doesn't it?
UFO true believers stop pestering the UK government and start demanding to see the Vatican's top secret UFO files?
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.
So is the pope God's representative on Earth, or God's representative for everywhere outside of heaven ?

Yes, but he was looking in a funhouse mirror at the time. Go fig'.
Next week they'll be approving a new brand of condoms. They're open at both ends ...

Hello Earthlings, my name Zorbo, I'm from the planet sh388wg32 in what you call the Andromeda galaxy and I think the time has come to reveal ourselves to you. The reason I am contacting you now is that we have some Good News for you creatures, the all powerful creator of everything (Zippin52, praise be His name) has a plan for you and everyone you know!!! Can I take a little of your time to explain why we're all imperfect and need saving in His forgiveness??!
Yes Catholic church, that is precisely how idiotic you sound right now.
- "Hear that?! The percolations are imminent! Cease your ingress!"
I have a panel from a Calvin and Hobbes strip that says it best:
Calvin says "The best proof for the existance of alien life is the fact that none of it has ever tried to contact us!"
"I never get lost because everybody tells me where to go"
...the Flat Earth society has just announced that there might be alien life "after and slightly beneath the fringes".
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
maybe there's an Alien god that created the aliens in his image as well
SPACE TEMPLARS!
I know it does sound like a horrible B movie...
What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women.
We call this hedging your bets.

Are thrilled to see that our Earther brethren have finally publically acknowledged our existence. Please prepare your altar boys for our arrival.
Scientology is based on Stargate?
This line of discussion reminds me of the old response to the faithfuls' insistence that we are the only life in the universe, variations on:
"You really don't think God would give up after only one failure do you?"
surely this should be scriptable...

It would save time and I might even get first post.

> What's alleged about it? Germany made participation mandatory and the Pope complied. Does anyone in the church deny that?
Ja, he voz just vollowing orderz.
No. The Jews get fucked way too often for Israel to be married.
Yes, but the way he rubbed his hands together and laugh maniacally when he joined is kind of creepy~

Sucks to be those aliens... since they have no way to learn about Jesus (except, of course, the Gray aliens that visit earth all the time) all those extraterrestrials will burn in hell since they never accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and savior. Brings up an interesting question - what percentage of hell is human? With all those alien species being sent to hell by default, I bet humans make up an extremely small percentage of hell's population. Even the Greys that visit earth have likely not become Catholics. Though in that one episode of South Park there was one alien species that actually was Catholic. But that's just one species, and south park is just a cartoon anyway. Make believe TV shows have no place in a discussion about magical human beings and aliens.
Stupid people make stupid things profitable.
