Nice picture by the way, does anyone else find Pope Ratzinger to look extremely evil in every picture ever?

John it is very reasonable to assume there are other planets with life on then so the hypothesis that other intelligent lifeforms exist on other planets in the universe is also well within the bounds of reason, some scientists would say a probability more than possibility, though many scientists don’t like to comment on the subject as religious leaders tend to point it out to people so they don’t look so silly

If you wish to find strange, bug-eyed creatures, who speak in a bizarre language, believe they are supremely intelligent beings, and who have a desire to conquer, look no further than the Vatican itself.

Is it too much to hope they might beam Ratzinger up and fit him with an anal probe? All I ask is that the aliens don’t return him.
On second thoughts that would just be taken as proof of the rapture and we’d never hear the end of it.

People who believe in one non-existant thing might easily belive in another non-existant thing.

Oh and I just realised my old sign off used to be:
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy* is about the Universe.
Not astrology… I’m always getting those two confused.

@ Anthony:
To be honest, if aliens sent me a video message telling me I was “the chosen one” I would probably do 5 things:
1) Question their sanity.
2) Question their motives.
3) Question my own sanity (Admittedly, this is a daily occurance with me anyway).
4) Enquire as to if they were sure they had the right ‘Mr Woolf’.
5) Deny it (possibly followed by hiding under a table with a saucepan on my head, that’s bound to work).

Mind you, the same thing would probably apply to anyone telling me that I was anything ‘special’.
You’d have to admire the alien’s direct approach though, wouldn’t you?
Rather than using some sort of Brownesque techniques of ‘under the radar’ style signals and signs.
That approach could potentially really mess someone up.

Pax, amor et concordia.

Don’t they mean the search for intelligent life? It seems to have vanished in the church.

Remember “the hiest”?

What if the aliens, instead of meeting the US President or the Pope, sent everbody a video message saying that they(the aliens) thought you were the true messiah.

Imagine tens of millions of people walking around thinking they are the “the chosen one”. Hahaha

Of course, we all have the power to create and destroy, so we are all Gods.
