Would believers be happy if aliens landed on Earth?

The scientists would be happy to compare notes with their scientists. The politicians would be happy to compare notes with their politicians. And the believers would be happy to compare notes with their believers. For we should expect aliens to be believers, for the same reason we should expect them to be politicians and scientists. For everything true and good comes from God. And the aliens may come bearing glad tidings.

What if they are really stinky? This is a pet peeve of mine. Sorry.
 
Nosey and self righteous…I couldn’t think of anything worse other than being destroyed by them 😸
 
I could be wrong, but I believe C. S. Lewis wrote about what it would mean if aliens visited us. It certainly would bring a wealth of information about life and the universe, but it still would not solve the question of God. It is certainly intriguing to think about though.
 
What if they are Gungans?

Is everyone ok with this? It’s best to make a decision now. Should we put it to a vote?

Okay. When they haven’t washed they smell like roses. And when they do eventually clean themselves they smell like…the sewers.
 
I think it’s highly likely that aliens exist but I truly believe only human beings have the ability to reason. It’s kind of like this. Life is very rare and even rarer is intelligent life with the ability to reason. On earth there’s only been one species like that. So while alien life is likely out there it’s most likely just some Space cow. I don’t think we’ll ever get visited.

I don’t know if I would be happy, probably more excited. Although I would be suspicious. I’m willing to wager any first contact with aliens will be a false flag operation.

I also doubt that any intelligent alien life exists at all, especially one that has mastered interstellar space travel. The (man-made) idea that little green men flying around in spaceships is just about as ludicrous to me as assuming humanity evolved from amoebas by chance without any anchoring of a divinity in our world of perfect design. But we are an arrogant species thinking we have discovered the answers to life, but have yet to colonize a planet or leave the galaxy and have found nothing but rock and gas outside of our orbit.

You may think that our “quaint religious beliefs” may be challenged, but it doesn’t contradict anything from a Catholic perspective. Science and religion are only at odds if you have a closed-minded binary way of thinking while searching for a flawed concept of God through one particular lens. If you find this to be inaccurate, speak to the priests who have degrees in astrophysics who run the Vatican observatory.

If aliens landed on earth, I’d be more worried about their intentions. I would have serious doubts about their altruism, judging by our own history.

On questions of faith, I guess believers could just study their history of theology to see if they also fell to “original sin” and therefore require baptism. Some time spent studyjng them should answer this question, assuming they don’t enslave humanity
 
Gungans are an ampibeous humanoid species who’s home planet is Naboo. Jar Jar Binks is a Gungan and made a guest appearance in one or more (i forget) of the Star Wars episodes.
 
I dont really buy it but there is a legend with a west african tribe that they were visited by some amphibious race. Whats even wilder is this tribe knew the existance of a second star in the sirious system but the second star is not visible with the human eye. It is rumored that this alien race told them about this second star thats not visible. How the tribe knew of the second star is beyond me.
 
The Gungans are coming, like it or not. Might as well have a good attitude about it.
 
I’ve heard some men of faith refer to aliens as perhaps demons. I think the term alien is too broad for anyone to make speculations on the effect it would have on others faith.
