Of course, the Catholic bishop in the story says that the piggies must be preached to and brought the word of god, even though Jesus doesn't say anything about strange, alien, infidel, pig-like, multi-lived, creatures, from another planet...

And, when the bugger queen (the other alien species in that series) tried to talk science with the converted piggies, the converted piggies said to her, "Maybe you evolved, but we were created."

Boggles the mind, don't it?

Hi, Straggler.

If discovered in alien cultures too the argument between evolutionary origins and an actual indication of some sort of "spiritual" reality would be an interesting one. IMHO.

You would have to find a larger amount of common ground between religious humans and religious aliens than between religious and non-religious humans. Otherwise, species would better explain the convergence than spirituality.
