I’ve never understood this line of thinking. Is it just atheists/agnostics not understanding what the Catholic church believes or something? If you have ever been around Christians, the whole faith is about how the world we live in is not all that there is, with visitors from other realms or whatever visiting and communing with people. Christianity has always answered “are we alone?” from day one with a resounding “No”.
Am I missing something? What is the “shock” here that’s supposed to conflict with Christian world view and understanding? Even when angels appear to people in Christian theology, people are afraid and all that, but come to accept them as messengers of God and just go with it. Heck, even other religions all go on about how the reality of things around us is far more than meets the eye.
What is it that makes people think that Christians will have any problem with aliens or the hard fact, if discovered, of alien life forms? I don’t even think most people, regardless if they’re Christian or not, would even fall into a puddle of tears over alien life being confirmed.
This all seems to just be composed of two things:
1) another excuse to say why people can’t be told the truth of things
2) “enlightened” people that hate Christianity and are attempting to drum up a theological or societal conundrum that doesn’t exist.
What do you guys think?
