When E.T. Phones The Pope (Washington Post Article)

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/06/AR2009110601899.html?hpid=opinionsbox1

"this week the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences is holding its first major conference on astrobiology, the new science that seeks to find life elsewhere in the cosmos and to understand how it began on Earth. Convened on private Vatican grounds in the elegant Casina Pio IV, formerly the pope's villa, the unlikely gathering of prominent scientists and religious leaders shows that some of the most tradition-bound faiths are seriously contemplating the possibility that life exists in myriad forms beyond this planet. Astrobiology has arrived, and religious and social institutions -- even the Vatican -- are taking note."

"Father Jose Funes, a Jesuit astronomer, director of the centuries-old Vatican Observatory and a driving force behind the conference, suggested in an interview last year that the possibility of "brother extraterrestrials" poses no problem for Catholic theology. "As a multiplicity of creatures exists on Earth, so there could be other beings, also intelligent, created by God," Funes explained. "This does not conflict with our faith because we cannot put limits on the creative freedom of God."

soberxp,

Please, what is your purpose in posting these photos?
Do you know any of the people illustrated in them?
Do you have a lesson for us to consider?

Bob,

I don't think there is anything profound trying to be put across here.  Rather, I think it is an attempt at showing a humorous parallel or association.

The thing in the bottom pictures resembles in some ways what is, I guess, supposed to be Satan from the pictures at the top depicting the National Geographic Devil's Bible, and since the thing in the bottom pictures is obviously dead or not alive, hence the title of the thread, "Satan is dead (died)."

Maybe a not so successful attempt at humor, but humor nonetheless.
