Vatican: It's OK for Catholics to Believe in Aliens
-
Well if we came across Aliens and they too happen to have a religion where a fello, by the name of Jesus, Muhammad, or another big prophet on Earth was the founder, I think I'd look at that particular religion alot more closely. Until then, I think I'll stay on the side of the guys that didn't claim the universe revloved around Earth.

Well, aren't you stoking the flames a bit? :) Before long, it'll be a fullblown argument on the existence of God.
So the creationist says: Everything must have a designer. God designed everything. I say: Why is God the only exception? Why not make the "designs" (like man) exceptions and make God a creation of man?

Jose Gabriel Funes said the expansiveness of the universe means there could be life on planets other than Earth." Click[^] What's Next?? :omg: Dan

Well, you have to realise that just because people claimed that, doesn't mean the Bible says that. I think people can work as hard at finding proof of things like 'the earth is not flat' in the Bible today, as they just assumed it said what they believed back then. The shape of the earth is not what any religious text is about.

They want to get a jump on it because they don't want to be appologizing to Gort.

Your right - It's alot more complicated than that. But you know what I mean. Anyway. I think this discussion is more suitable for the Soapbox, so i'm going to participate no more. :).

As I recall it was about the sun (heavens) rotating around the earth not whether or not it was flat. But I do understand and agree with what you said Now look :rolleyes: More Believe in Aliens stuff in the news[^] BTW I am not saying there are no aliens, However I do not think they have been here (yet) :-D Dan

Well up until the current Pope the Vatican also seemed to support something else. As a non-catholic I am glad I don't have to rely on a bunch of Italians to tell me what it is Ok to believe. (Yes, I know the Holy Sea is its own country and the Pope is not Italian)
