This interesting take on original sin can be found on Wikipedia’s entry on Original Sin
In an interview entitled “Aliens Are My Brother”, granted to L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, Father Gabriel Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory, stated: “In my opinion this possibility (of life on other planets) exists”; “intelligent beings, created by God may exist in outer space” and “some aliens could even be free from original sin” concluding “there could be (other beings) who remained in full friendship with their creator”.[42]
And on 5 March 2009, Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno, another astronomer working at the Vatican Observatory, told the BBC, in relation to the search for Earth-like worlds about to be embarked upon by the Kepler Space telescope, that “we Jesuits are actively involved in the search for Earth-like planets. The idea that there could be other intelligent creatures made by God in a relationship with God is not contrary to traditional Judeo-Christian thought.
The Bible has many references to, or descriptions of, non-human intelligent beings; after all, that’s what angels are. Our cousins on other planets may even have their own salvation story – including other examples of the incarnation of the second person of the Trinity. We are open to whatever the Universe has for us.”[43]
With regard to the attribution to “the Vatican” of similar statements by individuals working for the Holy See, official spokesman Father Federico Lombardi, also a Jesuit, published on 21 February 2009 a declaration that they must not be mistaken for statements of the Holy See— they are only statements of this individual Jesuit priest.[44]
Original sin, sometimes called ancestral sin] is, according to a doctrine proposed in Christian theology, humanity’s state of sin resulting from the Fall of Man. This condition has been characterized in many ways, ranging from something as insignificant as a slight deficiency, or a tendency toward sin yet without collective guilt, referred to as a “sin nature”, to something as drastic as total depravity or automatic guilt by all humans through collective guilt.

From time to time a UFO report is uncovered from long ago that shatters the idea that the visiting of Earth by extraterrestrial beings is merely a contemporary issue. But throughout history these reports have been indicated to be merely mythological in nature, using terms like “magic” to replace technology and psionics to describe the events. Now, a team of anthropologists have uncovered an image on the wall of a remote cave in India that clearly depicts what could easily be translated as a modern UFO report.
The ancient cave drawings were first brought to the attention of anthropologists who were working with a remote hill tribe in India who take the report very seriously indeed. The objects indicate a tall humanoid creature with what appears to be some sort of space suit or sensory apparatus standing with a single bar-like visor rather than eyes. Atop its head is a sort of bump which could be an antenna, but could also be a symbol of divinity in ancient Indian culture. The figure has broad shoulders and looks quite imposing. In fact, it is almost a perfect replica of the character Gort in the 1950’s science fiction classic “The Day the Earth Stood Still.”
In the background can be seen a disc shaped craft soaring through the heavens complete with motion lines waving behind it. The circular craft even has the characteristic dome atop it that is so prevalent in modern science fiction lore as well as alien abduction scenarios. The craft is also adorned with ornaments that are lighter around the rim very similar to lights surrounding the circumference of the craft.
Near the craft are three balls of light, each subsequent one getting larger as it gets closer to the ground. The balls of light seem to get larger as they get closer to the ground, possibly indicating perspective, as something gets larger the closer to Earth that it gets. The smaller round objects could also be indicative of planets and their relation to the sun, with the mysterious disc or almond shaped craft being closest to Earth, which is the third planet from the sun. It could also be indicative of the balls of light commonly reported by individuals shortly before they experience a UFO encounter.

In my usual browsing around the net, I came across this interesting article on the Above Top Secret site. As anticipated, the post has drawn a huge number of comments – mostly against this theory. Take a look:
Many critical thinkers believe that all religions are completely fabricated man-made lies that were invented in order to give power to evil men. I was one of these people as well, until I found proof after proof that the Quran couldn’t have been written by humans, especially not 1400 years ago. Being an atheist when I found these proofs, my initial conclusion was that the Quran had to have been written by Aliens.
There are basically two types of evidence that prove the Quran wasn’t written by humans: 1 type is encoded into the actual text, but differently than the “bible code”. The encoded text does not create new phrases or words like the bible code, instead it focuses on the repetition of certain words and letters. As I will show, this code is not baseless numerology. The other type of evidence is scientific “miracles”; things which would have been impossible for a human to know at the time.
I’ll talk about the scientific evidence first. The Quran talks about some of these proofs in allegorical terms, because the language was not developed enough to say them in truly scientific terms. For instance, the universe is claimed to be continually expanding…

Imagine finding a planet where robots are programmed so that they can make other robots just like themselves from raw materials.
Now, imagine an alien scientist visitor coming to the planet and, after many years of studying these robots, the alien scientist visitor comes to the conclusion that since science can explain how these robots work, operate, function, and reproduce there’s no reason to believe that there was an ultimate intelligent designer behind them.
The analogy above certainly is not perfect but it is sufficient to reveal the fallacious thinking of those who attack intelligent design behind life and the universe.
Of course, once there is a complete and living cell then the genetic program and complex biological mechanisms exist to direct the formation of more cells. The question is how could life or the cell come into existence naturally when there was no directing mechanism in nature.
Intelligent Design theory does not oppose natural laws but simply states that mere undirected natural laws can never account for the high complexity found in life and the universe.
Chance physical processes can produce some level of order but it is not rational to believe that the highest levels of order in life and the universe are by chance. For example, some amino acids have been shown to be able to come into existence by chance but not more complex molecules or structures such as proteins which require that the various amino acids be in a precise sequence, just like the letters in a sentence. If they’re not in the right sequence the protein molecules will not function. A single cell alone has millions of protein molecules!
