A) The pope has a space rock collection? That's random.
B) Stephen Hawking works for the catholic church? I'd thought you'd have to be catholic.
C) I always thought how weird it'd be if we went to a planet and it turned out they had a religion... and just not ANY religion but one of our religons just "more advanced"... like jesus or muhammad or whoever died and then appeared on their planet and then saw earth as like their Jersasulem.
It'd be an interesting story. Probably lead to a crusade of the aliens trying to take over earth, cause well sceince fiction is nothing if full of invasions of earth.
