"Vatican Says Alien Life Plausible"

Now, I wouldn’t usually blog about a ./ article like this but the highlighted sentence made me laugh, something that I seriously needed after a tiring day full of meetings…

“According to BBC, the director of the Vatican Observatory stated in an article titled ‘Aliens Are My Brother’ that intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space. ‘The search for forms of extraterrestrial life does not contradict belief in God.   Just as there are multiple forms of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God.’ Mind that this is not the same director who said that evolution is more than a mere theory   that was Father Coyne. I myself agree. There might be intelligent beings created by God in outer space even if there are none here on earth.“
