Recently, some websites referring to the “Mirror” or Russian “Vesti”, are talking about the sensational statement made by the Pope of Rome Francis. The Pope of Rome had said that if tomorrow Martians with green eyes and big ears come to us and unexpectedly one of them says that he wants to be baptized, the doors of the church would not be closed at his face. According to the same source, Francis said that he does not really care how many tentacles the outstretched hand would have, it’s all the same, he will extend his hand for shaking. Aravot.am asked the leading researcher at the Observatory, Chairman of the Armenian Astronomical Society, Areg Mikayelyan, to comment on the Pope’s statement as an astronomer. “Astronomers believe that there are other civilizations. It’s another matter that they are not found, hence the Pope’s statement is not so far from reality. Really, it is important to have a friendly atmosphere and not hostile when meeting with the space aliens, as a handshake means means this very gesture, simply the leader of the Catholic Church has expressed figuratively.
When representatives of different religions or nationalities become hostile, it was the worst thing, in the end, they all believe in the same thing, but each one has formulated its religious beliefs at its own, all are people, regardless of what blood is flowing in their veins,” said the astronomer. To add that the British mass media joked that the space aliens have not yet commented on the Pope’s statement.
