To my knowledge, there is no official Catholic doctrine on aliens either way--although I guess that can sort of be taken to mean the same thing as being "allowed to believe."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Christian Bible says that God only created life on Earth. I'm not Catholic, I'm Protestant (Baptist). But I'm guessing that's what the Catholics believe as well.

No, we believe God created every single particle in existence. It's the only way that God can be the supreme being.
Only Earth has intelligent life. Sorry.
Uhhhhm ya might want to rephrase that just a scooch.
Seeing as how the material,isn't the only plane of existence.

When we travel to the Sun, we should go when it's night. That way the spacecraft won't melt from the deadly heat.

The Bible doesn't mention aliens because the people who wrote the Bible probably had very limited understanding of other planets and probably had almost no concept of the notion of aliens. The Bible also doesn't mention dinosaurs or circus clowns, but they exist.

Right. It's silly to say that since the Bible doesn't mention aliens, they don't exist. We're just now starting to seriously contemplate the existence of extraterrestrials....it makes no sense that the people who wrote the Bible would even be aware of that possibility...as we see it today.

If God created the heavens, who are any one of us to question her wisdom?
You're confusing me Juli. First you talk about God, then the subject of the sentence becomes female. Which one is it?!?!?!?!

Perhaps, but I feel fortunate that my faith doesn't exclude the possibility.

Any - I'm just wondering where it acknowledges other planets, and says that God didn't create life on them.
