Here is an entertaining segment on the Colbert Report on the Vatican's position on the possibility of alien life.

I think it's refreshing that the Vatican...and also the British Government is opening discussing the possibility.

Also entertaining...

I know people.

Woah!!

Funny to see that on my little iPhone! Couldn't make out the small thumbnail, so the full screen pic was quite a surprise!

As for the Vatican, get back to me when they figure out birth control and abortion. A church here in Austin just booted a temporarily homeless Jewish temple out of their gym a day before Yom Kippur because somebody finally realized Judaism doesn't summarily proscribe abortion and family planning! Jesus would be proud. Sheesh. (Sorry for the politics AND religion. If banned, I'll delete it.)

No surprise. That institution has long been willing to embrace unproven conjectures.

Not surprising to see Colbert have him on. this Vatican first announced this position 2 1/2 years ago, though. What took so long, Steven? Was Neil deGrasse Tyson unavailable?
