Vatican: open to the possibility of alien life

Vatican says aliens could exist
By David Willey
BBC News, Rome

The Pope's chief astronomer says that life on Mars cannot be ruled out. Writing in the Vatican newspaper, the astronomer, Father Gabriel Funes, said intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space.

Father Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory near Rome, is a respected scientist who collaborates with universities around the world.

The search for forms of extraterrestrial life, he says, does not contradict belief in God.

The official Vatican newspaper headlines his article 'Aliens Are My Brother'.

'Free from sin'

Just as there are multiple forms of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God. And some aliens could even be free from original sin, he speculates.

Asked about the Catholic Church's condemnation four centuries ago of the Italian astronomer and physicist, Galileo, Father Funes diplomatically says mistakes were made, but it is time to turn the page and look towards the future.

Science and religion need each other, and many astronomers believe in God, he assures readers.

To strengthen its scientific credentials, the Vatican is organising a conference next year to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the author of the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin.

Whether Vatican likes it or not, there's really life out there. Ngayon lang naman inaamin yang mga yan. Like ung sa Mars, impossible na ngayon lang nila nalaman that there were signs of life.

Takot lang ng Vatican eh ung mga pinamukha nila sa tao, after all, will be useless. And again, religion never existed when life began here on earth. Man made religion.

well, bacteria can be considered as forms of life. and they could be existing even on other planets.

i just cant believe yung thought or idea na may ibang tao sa labas ng earth...

[pitbullz]

at least nagbabago na sila...think of what they did to galileo...

ok lang religious zeal at faith. wag ka lang manakit ng tao at wag lang ipamukha sa iba yun akala mong "totoo"...

on another not,wag na sila lumayo,dito na lang muna sa planeta natin. pagaralan na lang nila yun evolution at tignan kung totoo nga o hindi. based on facts and scientific methods and not on hearsay or dogma

[fourtheboys96]

ang Diyos palagay ko eh gumawa din ng ibang nilalang na nabubuhay.

so pwede pa din mag-agree ang simbahan ng walang masyadong pag aalinlangan hehehehe.

If this is the case, it would be a waste of the vastness of space.

uu nga eh, Christians should be trialed and condemned by unbelievers. not the way around imo.

Space,- the final frontier......

.... To boldly go where no man has gone before....

hay... kung buhay pa sana ako sa time nayan... that's why there will still be religion until man knows how to live forever... if that will come true... then I will not believe on an existence of a highest being...

[Negus]

The Vatican's chief astronomer also speculates that aliens could be free from original sin. WTF? ano sila angel? I feel like they are bargaining.

Because it's some secret military project.

Parang yun stealth bomber ng US. for the longest time it was thought na UFO Pag nakikita ng mga tao when they were testing it.

That's what makes US military superior, super advance yun mga weapons nila, I've read that they're 30-50 years advance sa development.

a conspiracy theory going around is that this is psyops

says the world is being conditioned that there really are aliens

says a fake alien invasion will be staged in the near future

the goal is to create a world government -- meaning all countries will lose their sovereignty and will be subordinate to the world gov't

how can you make countries give up their sovereignty?

by uniting all humans against a common enemy -- aliens

If someone is transmitting hypnotic brain waves, it's bouncing off me. I simply refuse to believe extraterrestrial life is this shy. If they were really here, they would have either exterminated us or said hello by now.

None of this hide around the bushes thing. I'd also be the first to tell these world government proponents to F-Off.

"I don't care if the aliens wipe us out. I'm not siding with you."

[bugsmobile]

Makes me wonder why majority of UFO sightings are in the USA. Nonetheless, I believe aliens are real. I think it would be arrogant to assume that we are the only intelligent species in the galaxy. If someday it would be proven that there are indeed aliens, I wonder what the narrative of religions would be then.

It's all about the money ...

pag totoo meron ibang intelligent life and they reveal themselves to us the faith of billions will be shattered

many people believe that humans are special and that we are the only intelligent life in the universe

rooted yan sa religion -- that God created the universe for humans (religions are human-centric like we're the center of the universe)

if proven meron ibang intelligent beings baka magkaroon ng mass hysteria

governments know that can happen that's why the existence of aliens is kept secret

matagal na may speculation governments are hiding it

so if they plan to reveal the existence of aliens they need to condition the public muna

Here's a more realistic theory...The end of the human race will be caused by....termites.[emoji16] Post-pandemic, they're hyper-activity is never before seen. Something is starting to happen....Where the heck are the MIB?[emoji848]
