VATICAN CITY — Four hundred years after it locked up Galileo for challenging the view that the Earth was the center of the universe, the Vatican has called in experts to study the possibility of extraterrestrial alien life and its implication for the Catholic Church.

It appears that the Catholic Church has come along way since the time of Galileo. I am not sure if it is necessarily the right way. I just wonder if the so-called experts are biblical scholars. After all, if the Roman Catholic Church wanted to know whether or not there was life on other planets or somewhere out in outer space, wouldn’t the bible indicate so? And if it does, wouldn’t the Pope or Catholic Church have its own scholars?
Here’s a thought: With all the interests in extraterrestrial alien life, why not put the same passion and energy into knowing God? I know that sounds so archaic, bland and off the wall, but that’s my take on finding out whether E.T. is out there. I do know that God is. This I am very sure of. I am not sure, nor do I really care if there is E.T. But since I know for certain that my Creator and Redeemer lives, I ought to spend my dying days getting to know Him better.
