In this February photo, Monsignor Gianfranco Ravasi looks on near a portrait of   Galileo Galilei. The Vatican wants to study possible alien life.

"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.

“The questions of life’s origins and of whether life exists elsewhere in the universe are very suitable and deserve serious consideration,” said the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, an astronomer and director of the Vatican Observatory." http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2009/nov/11/vatican-looks-to-heavens-for-any-signs-of-alien/

Do you believe in extraterrestrial alien life?
