Could Religion Survive Alien Contact?


Pope Francis is known for shaking things up in the Catholic church. But few people saw it coming when he noted in a May homily that he’d be more than happy to baptize Martians if they asked for it.

"If tomorrow, for example, an expedition of Martians arrives — green men with a long nose and big ears, like children draw — and some of them come to us, and if one of them asks to be baptized, what would happen?" he asked.

The statement left some wondering whether this meant the Pope believed in aliens.
