Mr.Cat Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 (edited) The Catholic Church does teach that alien life other than our own exists, although not exactly as we may off the cuff think of alien life, and before you think I am off my rocker give me a second to explain. We know from the Sacred Scriptures that God is very creative and that no where does He tell us directly all the intelligent life or even just life that He created but also we know of one species that He created. Simply put, the Angels, they are pure spirits without flesh created by God not native to this planet or even this universe for that matter. They would classify as aliens and we know of their existence. We know that our God is very creative and that all that “exists” other than Himself was created by Him and is maintained by Him. Thus all things are from God. It is human egotism that we want to think that we are the only creation of God, but even thou it may be egotistical there really is no proof that intelligent alien life in our universe exists other than ourselves. For they are never mentioned in the Scriptures and they certainly have not taken the time to introduce themselves so the Church teaching more exactly is that it is possible for other intelligent alien life in our universe to exist, but we don’t know if it. Moreover, the question would be why would our God not inform us of such alien life? [u]Most alien encounters of any kind normally match up with some mental disorders and sometimes demonic involvement[/u], [b][u]then the bulk of the cases can be explained into naturally occurring events such as airplanes and so on[/u][/b]. Alien encounters have simply become so apart of our culture that it is something like the thought of witches, evil spirits, and so on were to our ancient fathers. Then in our culture of “reason” we attempt to explain everything away into a neat little package instead of looking for what the reason of such events are. For example, many report that aliens have paralyzed them unable to move on the bed. When one is in deep sleep the mind disconnects cognitive thought from the body, otherwise punching a foe in a dream would be literally punching your bead partner. When this deep sleep is interrupted one isn’t entirely awake and the mind isn’t fully reconnected yet so one suffers from the feeling of not being able to move, likewise because one is partly asleep the brain attempts to justify this reality it is facing which sometimes means there is a superimposing of “something.” Satan works to distract us from what is truly important and the real problem is it mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual. There is a book that C. S. Lewis wrote about demons, the story is about a “master demon” speaking to an “apprentice demon.” There is a line that goes something like this, “When there is a fire, make them run around with life-preservers. Likewise when there is a flood, make them run around with fire extinguishers.” But regardless it is not something we should be fearful of for “fear” is the primary tool for Satan to influence a person. “Do not be afraid”, as the Venerable Pope John Paul the Second stated. But to words of wisdom if I have any on this topic, if they don’t want to formally contact us there is no reason for us to worry about them. It is just a “[b][u]pop culture[/u][/b]” adventure. It is something apart of our culture and something we think about in the back of our minds. I always watched Star Trek as a kid (still do) so I figured that they didn’t want anything to do with us because we really don’t have anything to offer them. Gene Rodenberry, the atheistic secular humanist that he was. Edited February 10, 2007 by Mr.CatholicCat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Link 1. The government stated several hours later that the "lights" were actually fighter jets and rocket flares. Link 2. Nah...too fake looking. I felt like I was watching Stargate SG-1 off of the Sci-fi channel (great show by the way...)And why is Stephen Greer in charge of this?? Link 3. Again, why is Stephen Greer a leading person in this field? He's a MD, not astronomer, or even meteorologist. Why doesn't someone with bigger credentials step up? They guy has ran a hospital...I'm so impressed. The UFO crowd needs to at least get some leading astronomers on their side before they make these claims. Don't take me wrong, I don't want to sound mean, this is just my personal opinion. Do I believe in extra terrestrial life? No. But that doesn't mean I can't change.

cmotherofpirl Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Is there something out there that we don't know about? probably. Are they taking us away? I doubt it. On the other hand, Shakespeare says "There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio, than are dreamed of in your philosophy" and he is always right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe we are not alone. I believe there are other life forms and that our God of course made them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff, and food for though, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffpugh Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 The CS Lewis books is the Screwtape letters. It's really good... MrCatholicCat is right in saying not to be distracted by such things. There is someone in my family distracted by a mystic or psychic or whatever she calls herself now... and tries to give an explanation for EVERYTHING... including the disconnection of the cognitive thought... she says that the person's soul is in flight and hasn't returned yet.... it's stupid.... anyone guessed who I'm talking about yet? hahaha... maybe I should start a thread on her....
