Vatican looks to heavens for signs of alien life

Pope Benedict XVI has made strengthening the relationship between faith and reason a key aspect of his papacy.

[John M]

Does not the Vatican have more pressing things to do, like saving lost souls?

[Gaytheist]

I thought that they were too busy financing and promoting legislated hatred and bigotry.

The ruler of this world is Satan the Devil, and he wants people to believe there is life on other planets, he inspires authors and people to believe that aliens do exist, especially since he is the creator of them, and he is a master at deception.
The truth is, there is no other life on other planets in the universe. The Bible is God's word on the matter, and Jesus as King of heaven and earth right now, is dealing with this one planet, he will clean this earth of all unrighteousness
and restore the paradise condition that was lost
in the beginning because of the devil.

(Revelation 21:3-4). . .With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say:“Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

They're just looking for new converts......

Normally I don't respond to these things, but I couldn't resist.

The confirmation numbers for me are "6666".

You hit the nail on the head. I thought it was odd that the Vatican was even entertaining the idea. I cannot confirm nor deny that life on other worlds exist. When I look up at the evening stars, I think about what the Lord has accomplished vs signs of flying saucers.

I would feel more awe for God if they find alien life - e.g., the power behind it. I find it very exciting.

alien life will never be found

There is nothing in that scripture which indicates , in my mind at least , that we have exclusivity to God.God can encompass everything and more.

Martha,

You don't make any sense at all. You talk as though you're in the 12th century. Get some science books.
