Its Okay to believe in aliens - the Vatican says so...

THE VATICAN SAYS IT'S OKAY TO BELIEVE IN ALIENS...

http://www.breitbart.com/a

The Vatican's chief astronomer says that believing in aliens does not contradict faith in God.

The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, says that the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.

In an interview published Tuesday by Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Funes says that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith" because aliens would still be God's creatures.

The interview was headlined "The extraterrestrial is my brother." Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom.

The only answer

is that it came from the creative hand of God. It settled on the ground like dew, could be gathered and it was good to eat. On the other hand, it had a definite shelf life.

Since the Catholic church

believes that the authority of the Pope matches the authority of God's Word, they have more freedom in defining "God's creative freedom."

However, the Bible gives no indication of life elsewhere in the universe. God created one earth only, and it was to that earth that Jesus Christ came to die, be buried and rise again.

On the other hand, God knows and does many things that people cannot even comprehend, so I shall not be too dogmatic.
