:::::Moving on, there can not feasibly '''be''' a center of the universe because of its infinite nature, cosmologically speaking. Despite this, I do not understand, even if Hubble was wrong in his proclamation, what the significance is of our galaxy being in the "center" of the universe. Even if our galaxy was in the "center", our Earth is not in the center of our galaxy. In fact, a massive black hole is. If you are trying to suggest that centrally located things are more important than other things, then, logically, a massive black hole is more important than Earth since it is in the center of our galaxy.

:::::However, I now realize you are correct on theological terms. Now that I think about it, only descendants of Adam will inherit man's sinfulness. You've made me realize, therefore, that any extraterrestrials we may meet will be, by the very virtue of having not been born on Earth, free from [[Original Sin]]. This actually explains why we have not yet been effectively able to make contact; They have not progressed technologically beyond their extraterrestrial Gardens of Eden because they have not yet consumed the fruit from the Trees of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. This appears to be the Vatican's opinion too: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7399661.stm , as well as that of [[C.S. Lewis]] as he proposed in his book [[Out of the Silent Planet]]. With everyone's sentiment I will update the article to include the opinions of those Christians.
