VATICAN CITY (November 11, 2009) - Dozens of scientists from around the world attended a five-day conference at the Vatican focused on the possibility of alien life in the universe and its theological implications.
The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory, wrapped up the conference Tuesday, saying, "There is a rich middle ground for dialogue between the practitioners of astrobiology and those who seek to understand the meaning of our existence in a biological universe."
Funes said in a 2008 interview with the Vatican newspaper that the discovery of intelligent extra-terrestrials wouldn't contradict Christian faith because they would still be God's creatures, but Christian scholars have wondered whether alien species might have resisted temptation and remained sinless or if they sinned, how God might have offered them salvation.

Of course they are mulling over this because it would upset their apple cart they've had upright for the past 2000 years. How could they control the masses then? It would put a new spin on organized religion...I am sure they would say that Jesus traveled among galaxies saving lives...give me a break!! Our universe goes way beyond those ancient teachings and books.
Are they hoping to find alien children to rape now???
