Whew! Pope’s peeps say belief in Extraterrestrials is OK.

I’ve really been sweating this one… rubbing the old WWJD (what would Jesus do) keychain, as I religiously tuned in to watch ‘UFO Hunters’, each week.  I’ve always wondered; where does God stand on the subject of aliens?  Now the Vatican has been kind enough to tell us that God is OK with aliens, as a matter of fact to suggest that they don’t exist is to limit God’s creativity.  Hmmm… so God still has full creative license in the eyes of the church?  So He’s the one!

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.

Is anybody else surprised to hear that there’s a “Vatican Observatory”?  Anyway, now I can tune in to my ‘UFO Hunters’ or spy the skies for unidentified flying objects and not feel somehow… unclean. *snicker*
