Chief astronomer Roman Catholic Church reported that allows the existence of life on other planets.

In his article, published in the Vatican newspaper, Gabriel Fyunes writes that in space may dwell other reasonable creatures, created by God. Article published under the title "Inoplanetyane - my brothers", Russian media reported today BBC.

Iezuit from Chile Gabriel Fyunes heads the Vatican Observatory. He is an internationally recognized expert and collaborates with universities in different countries. According to the priest, search for alien life does not contradict faith in God. Gabriel Fyunes not exclude that some aliens, if they exist, could be free of original sin.

Replying to a question about harassment Inquisition Galileo Galilei, Gabriel Fyunes diplomatically writes that the errors were, but it is time to turn the page and draw a vision for the future.

Chief Vatican astronomer assures the reader that religion and science need each other.

The following year, Vatican satisfied with the conference, timed to 200 - anniversary of author Charles Darwin theory of evolution. Thus, the Roman Catholic Church seeks to smooth out some antagonism between science and the Church.

Note that the scheduled event was not the only example of this desire. Suffice it to recall that several years ago members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences were appointed by the American nuclear physicist William Phillips, famous technology development of laser processing of atoms, and Indian Virabhadran Ramanatan, a pioneer in the field of research greenhouse effect.

Pontifical Academy of Sciences was established in Rome in 1603. Curiously, the first head of "Academy Rysey", as it was then called, was Galileo Galilei. Currently there 80 academicians. Pope appoints them personally on the recommendation of the existing members of the Academy. Scientists have become academicians for life, regardless of their religious or political beliefs.

President of the Academy - Professor, University of Rome La Sapienca and former head of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics Nicola Cabibbo.

As for the representatives of Vatican Observatory, it was repeatedly made remarkable statements. Its former director, American iezuit father George Koyn said several years ago that the theory of evolution does not reject "the need for God", on the contrary, it helps believers understand the attitude of the Creator to the universe as the caring father to his child.

Many in the Church shared "fear" that the theory of evolution is incompatible with the belief that the world was created under the "divine plan", and this leads to difficult relations between the Church and science, the scientist believes.

It should be noted that that those with their statements George Coyle entered into correspondence polemics with one of the most influential Catholic hierarchs - Archbishop of Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, who spoke with an article which claimed that the origin of species darvinovskaya theory based on faith in "unplanned process random changes and natural selection "is incompatible with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

According to George Koyna, "Science is absolutely neutral" in relation to the philosophical and theological conclusions that can be drawn from its discoveries, but this does not prevent believers to use scientific facts in order to better understand God. The theory of evolution not only compatible with Catholicism but also "offers us God created the universe, which has its own dynamics, and thus itself participates in the divine creation, - said Koyn. - God is working on the universe. At the same time it has own vitality, as a child. God does not interfere in its development constantly, he allows, participates, loves. "

George Koyn convinced that believers should learn modern scientific discoveries to "withdraw from the representations of God-dictator, God-designers, Newtonian God who created the world as watches and listens as they tikayut. Maybe God to better understand how loving parent That supports and encourages the world to its word. "

True, in 2006 Pope Benedict XVI has sent Koyna resigned. They say that this was precisely linked with the position held by astronomer in disputes about evolution. Sam pontifik present a consistent supporter of the idea of "smart idea", according to which life was created and developed thanks to the Creator.

Curiously recall in connection with the reasoning of aliens and of a draft Rosetta, the European Space Agency, posted in February 2004 in the universe with an unusual cargo ship - disk, which translated into many languages earth engraved the first three chapters of Genesis.

Automatic probe now after 6 years to reach comet Wirtanen, borozdyaschey space of the universe. Rosetta - the name of basalt stone, found by soldiers of Napoleon in Egypt in 1799. At the stone had been charted Egyptian hieroglyphs, relating to II in. Mr before. e. At the time, that letter was able to decrypt the founder of Egyptologists, the famous French scientist Francois Shampolonu.

By design sponsors, to the outside of the probe is attached disk with the text of the first three chapters of the book of Genesis. Faced comet Wirtanen, the probe landed directly at its nucleus. Thus, the disk with the text early chapters Old Testament along with the comet will begin an endless journey into space. The main scientific objective of the expedition - to search for evidence that life on Earth was brought in from outside.

The text of the Bible translated into a thousand languages of the planet, performed the largest linguists. Scientists argue that 50-90% of modern languages in this century will disappear and move into the category to which now belong to Egyptian hieroglyphs. So what can be hoped that more or perhaps less advanced than earthworks, brothers human beings can read a message from our planet and rejoice that they are not alone in the universe of infinite space.
