Vatican scientist says that believing on aliens is OK

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - **The Vatican’s chief astronomer says there is no conflict between believing in God and in the possibility of “extraterrestrial brothers” perhaps more evolved than humans.

“In my opinion this possibility (of life on other planets) exists,” said Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, a 45-year-old Jesuit priest who is head of the Vatican Observatory and a scientific adviser to Pope Benedict.

“How can we exclude that life has developed elsewhere,” **he told the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano in an interview in its Tuesday-Wednesday edition, explaining that the large number of galaxies with their own planets made this possible.

"Vatican scientist says belief aliens is OK"

Whats really ironic is the Yoda-like thread title to go with a discussion on aliens. What kind of English are they teaching in schools these days, or should I say "English what kind teach are they in schools". Sorry, no offense.

Saw the movie "Contact" years ago. Here is a dialog from there that is quite apt and memorable.

• Dad, do you think there's people on other planets?
• I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.

Re: Vatican scientist says belief aliens is OK

May be. I can think of a couple of other ways too for making the thread title clear. No biggie, though.
