Little Green Men of Faith
MediaCulpa thinks there is a, little noted, reason for the sudden acceptance by mainstream science of alien life.
"Why would mainstream scientists suddenly decide that UFOs are incredibly, uh, credible? I think the reason is this: it's becoming clear that the discoveries of hard science actually support a religious worldview. The Big Bang implies a creation moment to all but the most intellectually slippery, and a creation moment implies a Creator."
The crazy aunt in the attic of modern science today is that, unlike in the past, scientist think they have a good bead on the way things are. Sure, they're willing to move a coma around in their thinking, but question foundational "truths"? Never! Of course that is the definition of religion, not science.
Scientist would rather believe in UFO's than have to reconsider some long held, and cherished, beliefs.
