Not content with being restricted to spreading their damnable false gospel on earth, the Vatican is now looking to the sky.
Four hundred years after it locked up Galileo for challenging the view that the Earth was the center of the universe, the Vatican has called in experts to study the possibility of extraterrestrial alien life and its implication for the Catholic Church.
“The questions of life’s origins and of whether life exists elsewhere in the universe are very suitable and deserve serious consideration,” said the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, an astronomer and director of the Vatican Observatory.
Funes, a Jesuit priest, presented the results Tuesday of a five-day conference that gathered astronomers, physicists, biologists and other experts to discuss the budding field of astrobiology — the study of the origin of life and its existence elsewhere in the cosmos.
Today top clergy, including Funes, openly endorse scientific ideas like the Big Bang theory as a reasonable explanation for the creation of the universe. The theory says the universe began billions of years ago in the explosion of a single, super-dense point that contained all matter.
Earlier this year, the Vatican also sponsored a conference on evolution to mark the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s “The Origin of Species.”
The event snubbed proponents of alternative theories, like creationism and intelligent design, which see a higher being rather than the undirected process of natural selection behind the evolution of species.

I read that article earlier today. Not surprised. The cult of Rome has never been content to trust God nor His Word.

I just want to ask you a question: how many times in your life have you seen Roman Catholic blogs posting insulting pictures of Evangelical pastors or leaders? That would be all.

I’m not quite sure, Lucian. Is it the same number as the people the popes put to death during the Reformation? Or was your question rhetorical?

Lucian,
How about a Romanist blog that posts insulting pictures of Romanist leaders?
As providence would have it, the Bishop of Rome is also depicted as an alien in the case referenced. Is it safe to assume that you will chastise Dave Armstrong as a matter of consistency and principle?
In Christ,

Makes me think of Ben Stein’s movie Expelled, where Richard Dawkins muses that research into evidence of intelligence in biological designs would actually be a noble endeavor, while prefacing that concession by positing that any such “engineered” life must have been planted here by an alien race (which, he asserts, would have evolved through some naturalistic process, by some God-less mechanism).
… face palm …
