Duh?

The world, existence, humanity is nothing more than energy of one form or another.  A variety of spacial plaines that can, at times, co-exist within each other.  In this regard I don't find the Vatican astronomer acknowledging  the Big Bang Theory and the possibility of extraterrestrial life being a plausible scenario to be a surprise. 

I've never been one for the trappings of modern religion....too much voodoo and "faith" and crazy fanaticism for my tastes, but, I've always thought that "ghosts" exist in some fashion while not believing in god or an afterlife.  That and the idea or belief that life from other worlds or universes have found their way to our own have been firmly rooted in my mind from an early age.  Energy can be imprinted on a landscape and dimensions can co-exist within in one another and, due to a variety of possible circumstances, can reveal themselves on the present. This only lends credence to my own belief in this regard. Advanced life exists and has had the ability to have found it's way to our own world. This in my explanation of the unexplained. I still find it bothersome that to this day "god" had to be the one to pull the trigger to get this show on the road.  Modern religion is nothing more that a failing big business attempting to put a plausible spin on its own fiction in order to keep the silly masses quiet and to keep the money flowing for as long as possible.
