The Satanic conspiracies are right in front of your face, they're out in the open: The molestation crisis, LGBTQ ideology, cultural Marxism, Abortion, "wokeness", etc. They enjoy the promotion of the media and elites in America and Western Europe, they are not hidden and they have proven to be infinitely more damaging to the Church and people's faith than the very real possibility of God creating other life forms in another galaxy.
The universe is big enough that other planets which contain life most certainly exist. Some sort of creatures that may not need oxygen or hydrogen, not necessarily intelligent life or life that is capable of spacefaring, but life nonetheless. We can't be arrogant enough to place limits on God's creative ability and think that in a universe this vast, Earth is the only planet that contains lifeforms on it. There could be animals out there that we've never even imagined.
Vatican astronomer says if aliens exist, they may not need redemption - Catholic Review
First off, Satan is not limited to one conspiracy, he is desperately trying to blind the eyes of man to the Truth in Christ. Second, I did not say that life on other planets cannot exist; maybe it can, maybe it doesn't.
My point was that if it does exist, the distances are too far for us to definitively find out, us travel there, or have them visit us. If there are beings on our planet that say that they are from another, then they are deceiving spirits. If it is arrogant to say that life definitely does not exist on other planets, then it is equally arrogant to insist that it does, because we have no way of knowing it. Your first paragraph makes my point; there is sufficient evil on this earth to deal with, rather than worrying about other planets.
The article you site is interesting, but it is only speculation. The priest mentions evolution, but fails to note that it is Catholic dogma that all humans descended from one human pair, Adam and Eve. This is the doctrine of original sin. Adam was created directly by God out of the dust of the earth and could not have been born of a lower creature. Eve was formed from Adam's side. Scientists today laugh at that proposition, but as God said to Job, "were You there when I laid the foundations of the Earth? , tell me if you have understanding." No one was there, we have God's word, the rest is speculation and vain musing.
yes its fun to watch and fun to imagine. I loved the original Star Trek, but we will never see anything like that here, but eye has not seen nor ear heard what God has in store for those that love Him. what will life be like in the next? We will have glorified bodies, and we will not be tied down by time and space. We will then be able to travel to those other worlds, and see the complete glory of God. As the Bible says, the heavens declare the glory of God. That is something worth imagining.
