Vatican allows belief in aliens

No, I’m not kidding.

Chicago Tribune, 16 May 2008, section 1, pp. 1, 23.

I think I’m just going to toss this one out there for some discussion. Aliens or not: What say you?

Well, ok, here are a couple talking points:

Isn’t it ironic that those who would limit God’s ability to create out of nothing will suddenly assert that God’s creativity should not be limited to Earth alone?

What about mankind being the crown of God’s creation. Does this preclude life on other planets?

Could plant or animal life on other planets simply be an extension of our flora and fauna?

Does God’s establishing man as ruler and subduer of creation extend into the cosmos?

Talk amongst yourselves . . .

    The best treatment on the subject of space aliens from a Chrsitian perspective, with which I’m familiar, is C.S Lewis’ Space Trilogy. The one roblem I haev with it is that it asserts that the fall only affected earth by putting it under the control of a fallen angel, while the other planets are ruled by good angels. Biblically, the fall affected all of creation, the rest of the ubniverse included. Other than that, the books are a great read.

    Perhaps the Mormons could chime in on life on other planets.
