Didn't the pope recently say something along the lines of " We should welcome and Bless Aliens in the future"?

so is he suggesting that there are records of Aliens in the Pope's private library ?

or is he just refering to Aliens from other countries ?

The Bible is not a science book, it is about God's dealings with mankind and our relationship with him. If I wanted to find out how to mend my car from reading a book, I would not read a book about Confucianism, I would read the Haynes Manual.

The Bible tells us what we need to know for our spiritual health and well-being. It does not, and never intended to, tell us how to split the atom or cure cancer.

What about "Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenence"?

Re: The power of prayer

it is many years since I last read The Bible, think when I have finished the George RR Martin I am into at the moment that will be the next one I pick up.

There are many people trying to prove the statements within the Good Book with regard to people, places and battles and many have been proven.
The problem is there are very few written records around, in stone or other materials, and it is about 4000BC.
And just because there is no extant written record doesn't mean it didnt happen, just there is no written record.

So many ancient documents were lost in the fire of the Library of Alexandria that could perhaps answer many questions - but too late, all gone.

There is not much that can be proven. But if one claims something extraordinary, the least one ought to do is to show the likelyhood of it.
