It turns out God made everything, not just Catholics

Therefore, if life turns up on other planets, it's not a problem for
the Catholic Church. I've never understood how somebody could think
that a religious tradition which already accepts the idea of non-human
created intelligences (namely, angels and demons) would have a crisis
if ET turned up. That's not to say he will. Along with Enrico Fermi,
my main question to believers in the Billions of Civilization is
"Where is everybody?"

But I think it would be hilarious if ET did turn up, was unfallen, and
proceeded to instruct the secularists in search of the ET Eschaton
that there is one God, the Father, the Almighty, Creator of Heaven and
Alpha Centauri Prime. Of course, if there are unfallen creatures
capable of space travel, they would probably, in their divine wisdom,
stay far away from us. On the other hand, if ET turns out to be fallen
like us and capable of interstellar flight, then I think it would be a
fine time to re-read The War of the Worlds.

Or, as James Michener succinctly wrote in "Hawaii": "The missionaries came
to do good, and they did very well indeed."

Their children did well indeed, not the missionaries themselves. From
the natives standpoint, a difference without much distinction.

No need to speculate. Billy Meier met an UFONAUT, named Semjase, from
the Pleiades. Semjase claimed that the Pleiadians worship the
Creation and NOT a Creator of any kind. She regarded Jesus as the
turf of humans in general and Billy Meier in particular, who in fact
wrote a book called the Talmud of Jmmanuel, Jmmanuel being his name
for Jesus.

There is much truth to the view of the Pleiadeans, insofar as the evil
side of the Biblical God can be transcended by depersonalizing it.
One can depersonalize God altogether, as atheists do, but that is to
the detriment of humans, since a personal relationship with a truly
good God is quite desireable.

Space aliens?

We'll never know, because immaculate and unfallen or not, conservatives
will accuse them of coming here to steal our cars, spread disease,
and go on welfare.
