Love Thy Extraterrestrial Neighbor

Vatican announces it’s okay to believe in spacemen, God created them, too.

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.

Vatican Can Study From Space And More From Arizona

British Files Reveal UFO’s real.

Nick Pope, who was responsible for investigating the sightings at the [UK} ministry, said: “While there’s no evidence of little green men in these files, they should be of immense interest to sceptics and believers.

“Most of the UFO sightings here are probably misidentifications of aircraft lights and meteors, but some are more difficult to explain, and include UFOs seen by police officers and pilots, and cases where UFOs have been tracked on radar.”

Duct Tape Could Save The World In Space

After the recent astronaut implosion on Earth, what procedures are in place to prevent space cadets from having a mental break down while in a capsule or on the space station?

NASA has it figured out: Duct tape.

It turns out NASA has a detailed set of written procedures for dealing with a suicidal or psychotic astronaut in space. The documents, obtained this week by The Associated Press, say the astronaut’s crewmates should bind his wrists and ankles with duct tape, tie him down with a bungee cord and inject him with tranquilizers if necessary.

Don’t leave home without it.

Vatican Jesuits Can Study Space And More From Arizona

Very interesting studies going on in psychic phenomena, UFO’s, extraterrestrials, and life after death, at the University of Arizona. While The Vatican Observatory Research Group operates the Arizona telescope and engages in advanced astrophysics, cosmology and galactic and extragalactic research, really far-out research in other areas is going on as well.

Few Catholics and even fewer Americans are aware that the Vatican has a telescope in Arizona or even that the Catholic Church engages in scientific research. But the priests see themselves bridging the gap between science and religion. In the process, they have emerged as a powerful voice against “creationism” and the theory of “intelligent design,” which holds that certain forms in nature are too complex to have evolved through natural selection and must have been created by a “designer” who might be called God.

Like all the priest-scientists, Funes said he kept his astronomy and religion separate. “When I teach at the University of Arizona, I tell students, ‘I am a priest, a Jesuit, but my class is a science class … and Science is about natural, not supernatural causes,'” he said.
