Discussion of the implications of intelligent extraterrestrial life, both scientific and theological, did not appear prominently in the conference agenda. One of the presenters, however, Prof Paul Davies commented on the religious implications of discovering intelligent extraterrestrial life: “If you look back at the history of Christian debate on this, it divides into two camps. There are those that believe that it is human destiny to bring salvation to the aliens, and those who believe in multiple incarnations,” Davies pointed out that the multiple incarnations theory, the idea that multiple examples of Jesus Christ would be found in the universe “is a heresy in Catholicism.”
The Vatican, through Funes, is supporting the idea that the incarnation of Christ is a unique event in Earth’s history tied in to humanity’s ‘fall’ and ‘original sin’. This idea was a major focus in Father Funes’ May 2008 interview which was titled “The extraterrestrial is my brother.” Funes said that intelligent extraterrestrial life may not have experienced a ‘fall’, and may be “free from Original Sin … [remaining] in full friendship with their creator.” This makes it possible to regard them as ‘our brothers’ as Funes explained:

THANKS.
This is a serious article about a very real serious Vatican event—showing another incremental advancement of the whole field toward disclosure.
It’s clear that naysayers who decry such articles as hoaxes by con folks are most likely
1. Lying disinfo agents or
2. So stubbornly, cluelessly, rigidly, stubbornly biased that reality itself has no chance to even leak in through the cracks . . . or
3. Are obnoxious mean-spirited trolls who just enjoy trashing threads of those who sift and sort complex data sets 1,000% better than they do . . . or
4. Are so insecure and threatened by the possibilities that they have to dream up all manner of brazen distortions of reality in order to be able to sleep at night.
UFO AND END TIMES PING LIST PINGS.
Thanks for the ping!
