So says Father Gabriel Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory. The search for forms of extraterrestrial life, he says, does not contradict belief in God. And some aliens could even be free from original sin, he speculates.
…the Vatican is organising a conference next year to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the author of the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin.
Not sure what to make of this. But the church is coming to Darwin a little late. That theory is on the way out. Or shall we say its evolved….
The article from the BBC:

Interesting, however Stephen Hawking believes that while life is abundent in the universe, other intelligent species that have developed technological civilizations are either very rare or non-existent. Hawking argues that we may be the only one or perhaps a hand full of such species spread across billions of light years.
Google “operation blue beam” and it’ll make more sense, truth being stranger than fiction and all . . .
@Chris
Thanks for the feedback.
I suspect we’ll find that technological civilizations are fairly rare as its a short stepping stone of a few hundred years to post-tech worlds. Consciousness is far more powerful than we yet understand. As a technology, it requires little or no hardware yet is not constrained by the limits of time and space. Hawking certainly understands this, even on a personal level. But his studies and thus models are founded in material science. He has taken his field to its limits, where physics has begun to be a philosophy rather than a science as there is no measurable way to prove some of it. That will naturally lead us to the next step – new models that take us outside the box.
@HPS – I agree that there is an unspoken agenda at play. We can see evidence in things like private “federal” banks, manipulation of economies, false flags, faked war rationale and other such noise. This is largely dependent on an unthinking population, lost in their own misery. That is a direct reflection of the dominant perspective.
Sadly, sites that talk about ideas like “blue beam” simply prey on the same misery. The world is out to get us, us vs them. That is not the way out of this box. Being paranoid and against simply amplifies the apparent boogey man.
The need for “explanations”, no matter what their logic, is simply the minds attempt to make others wrong so it can feel right and somehow better.
The solution is very simple. It is to do your own house cleaning. When you take care of yourself and expand the container, you will stop investing in your suffering and begin to have an expanded awareness. You will be able to step back from the situation and see it more clearly. Thus, solutions will become obvious.
If enough people wake up from their misery, there will no longer be “leaders” taking advantage of the situation. That is what I have suggested elsewhere is happening. Slowly, but picking up speed. It will become increasingly obvious over the next few years.
