Interesting times at the Vatican

It looks like it is alright to believe in ETs. Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes claims that an ET would simply be another part of creation, and that we should not limit the 'Creative Power' of god to only creating things on this small ball. Seems funny to me that there is no mention of extraterrestrials in the 'good' book, surely any other intelligent creation would get a mention somewhere?

To be honest I am on the fence as to alien intelligences, the math of probability is compelling but we simply know to little about the origins of life on this planet too really speculate. That being said it would be excellent to see what knots various religions tie themselves in to justify their continued existence when the first little green man appears on the scene and blows some fairly big holes in a number of ancient texts.
