Vatican alien
Did God create little green men?
forget trying to number the number of angels on the first of a pin - there’s an requite more critical theological into question weighing on the minds of vatican astronomers: did god create little amateurish men?in an interview published today in the vatican newspaper l’obsservatore romano, reverend jose gabriel funes, the vatican’s chief astronomer and scientific adviser to pope benedict, said that there’s no fracas between the christian faith and the existence of extraterrestrials. but the idea that there capacity be intelligent life beyond earth doesn’t easily fit into the christian worldview. according to the bible, demiurge created earth as the mid-point of the universe and men in his own notion. would the godly book’s credibility be compromised by the discovery of alien life? i can just imagine the higher-ups at the vatican pacing nervously as seti began searching the sky for et signals and surveys turned up planet after planet furthest the solar system - some of which dominion be able to multitude life.in a clever manoeuvre, the vatican has pre-empted the threat an exotic finding would pose to christianity. now they say they won’t be the least moment surprised should we make ring up with our “extraterrestrial brothers”. and why should they? according to vatican astronomer guy consolmagno, the bible is chock full of references to aliens. in intelligent life in the universe, published by the eclectic really alliance in 2005, consolmagno wrote:”there are, unquestionably, nonhuman intelligent beings in the bible. at least one group of such creatures is informed of to us all: angels. but are the ‘holy ones’, those ‘in the sky’, the ‘morning stars’, and ‘heavenly beings’ mentioned in psalms and elsewhere references to angels? or do they refer to some other kind of life beyond our knowledge?”"if you’re really eager to find a insinuation to extraterrestrials in the bible,” he writes, “you can’t do better than john 10:14-16. ‘i am the good conduct . . . i have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. i sine qua non bring out them also . . . so there will be one flock, one shepherd.’” other sheep? aliens, obviously! and it sounds like they are on their way.the existence of et life does leave consolmagno with some head-scratchers. are they burdened with original sin? is there a “cosmic adam” that predates his terrene clone? does a given baptise an alien?when inadequate common men in fine make themselves known, the christians will be ready for them. after all, as consolmagno says, “having a soul has nothing to do with how many arms or legs or tentacles you have in the offing.”amanda gefter, opinion editor
