" Is the VATICAN -- entering the final. Frontier you have a Catholic Church just held a weeklong conference with thirty scientists."

" To discuss the possibility of alien life."

" And what that might mean for faith and the church about time. Fox News contributor father -- play Oregon took them just like ET phone home father does that phone at some sources in Roman got all the details -- nice to see you always ET phone -- Made them honorary campaign. And I'll -- this is. I think to a lot of people when you first you receive."

" How this is this is kind of a major breakthrough for the Catholic Church is it or isn't willing to tell these weren't Catholic scientists that came together to support the Catholic church's vision of something. And that was what was so unique. Here is. Thirty but the too hot. Astro biologist. Physicists. Cosmology this astronomy -- who were coming and saying this is what we know about the possibility. Of extra terrestrial. Intelligent life form. And together with philosophers and theologians who are listening and saying what would this mean. If there is extraterrestrial intelligent life form what -- me about our understanding. Of some of the basic principles of the creation the world about its original sin -- many stories that have -- and what of the fun things like you know what first of all. We haven't found any alias okay the Pope is not been standing up there on the roof of the Sistine Chapel and arguing balls don't Clayton just yet."

" Or does a lot I can introduce attending. Let's see if advises that it has long maybe you look at all of the evidence and all of the astronomers and he's leading you know leading people in this field and say. But you have to be kind of arrogant to believe that we are the only people in the universe we are the only -- is life forms in the universe but what does this mean no for the."

" The church right and face -- it is an up front is it an affront to faith yes I think also bringing up without these questions walk. Inside it's not there for science students real science can never be an affront to face. The problem is we go in with ideology we say this could never be because I know this to be true. What we have to -- we will have to say is let science be science. Make sure that science is not driven awesome -- and by ideology we're gonna prove there is no god they're -- war but."

" But the Catholic Church is not always felt this way then in many glorious moments she Helio everything university did have a son -- it would you know it'd be an earth -- the center of the universe that certainly would -- what's been the reaction is -- outrage."

" You had those out when I put on FaceBook it out and talked about there was outrage while the VATICAN last bastion of tradition is falling. But you know what that's not the case you also look -- in glorious moments that you looked in the past there's been monks and priests. And people of religion will open at the forefront. Of that of science the forefront of culture. Teaching mathematics teaching physics and so I think this is a moment which we say let's study science -- the -- in the best of scientists to -- is what we know. And then let's grow in our understanding. Of those same -- truths Galileo would be proud he wasn't sure he celebrated."

" Thanks so much fun you're welcome we can continue this discussion commercial account on -- look at."
