    I’ve actually heard religious people talk about the idea of aliens.

    Essentially their conclusion was that the bible doesn’t rule out aliens because it doesn’t say God didn’t make other planets with life.

        The Vatican is pretty pro science. It’s a lot of the other Christian faiths that are overly strict with their interpretation of the bible.

      The idea of extraterrestrial life has been commonplace since the 1600s. Since then, there’s been many waves of belief-disbelief in extraterrestrial life.

      This won’t be anything new for Christianity to ponder, and they’ll have plenty of theological material to fall back on.
