Although I am deeply unreligious and disagree with much of what the Vatican says regarding birth control etc, I've been impressed with the Vatican's statements in past years re: the Big Bang, evolution, aliens, etc.

The Vatican's chief astronomer said that aliens likely have souls and he would "gladly baptize one if it asked".

Don't be fooled by the Vatican and evolution. They believe in guided evolution, not in a blind watchmaker.
