Vatican Not Ruling Out Aliens

Written by John on
It was only a matter of time before Father Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory, was asked the pressing question about alien life form and, if one “believes,” does that make them a sinner. As it turns out the answer is yes and no, respectively. In his article, awesomely titled, “Aliens Are My Brother,” published in the official Vatican newspaper, Father Funes says that beings created by God could exist in outer space and that the search for extraterrestrial life does not contradict belief in God.
