Catholic Scientists Ask: What if Aliens Exist?

Maybe, but perhaps since we don’t know everything, that the stuff we “know” may not be actually something we know, perhaps we can find a way to travel faster than light.

Interesting speculation. I think the problem may be all the steps leading up to that -- from the beginnings of a planet, to life, to intelligent life, to technologically advanced life, to intergalactic-travelling life -- and not destroying that life and the planet or exhausting one's resources on the way. It's likely that there is life on other planets, but it may not be very likely that any of them have made that long trek.

Wanted the place run his way, the best I could tell.

Most unfortunate, however, he did have some good, or one might say at least interesting points about certain things...

“but it may not be very likely that any of them have made that long trek.”

Or perhaps by their way of “thinking,” we aren’t that interesting to begin with. Not worth a pit-stop for a pee break.

One theory says they showed up because we opened the atomic box and that attracted attention. . .

[Wilhelm Tell]

Quix did say things that were out there, as I recall.

I think our closest brush with alien life might be if they discover the fossils of microbes on Mars but who knows? I tend to dislike both wild speculation on one side and the (usually) religious assertion that the Earth is all there is on the other side.

A group of Catholic evolutionary biologists, astrochemists, astrophysicists, theologians and astronomers will gather in Washington, D.C., this weekend to discuss a topical scientific issue in high-level government circles.

Extraterrestrials. Advanced alien civilizations. UFOs.

If you believe in this nonsense, don't complain about Francis.
