Weintraub intended what dutiful leaders and theologians from choice 24 grand religions say about unfamiliar life. As part of his research, he surveyed staff on their dutiful belief and their belief in aliens. The funny results: 55 per cent of atheists, 44 percent of Muslims and 37 percent of Jews dubious in the being there of unfamiliar life. At the low end, simply 29 percent of Baptists diagram there's an ET. Weintraub speculates that the high belief by Muslims may be due to passages in the Koran that abate to spiritual beings. Hindus, at 36 percent, dubious that humans and aliens possibly will be reincarnated during other worlds, calculate Buddhists discover the make of similarity on other planets. Roman Catholics maintain in print about the question mark for a thousand existence, for the most part debating whether aliens who are not descendents of Adam and Eve would be inherent without unique sin and if Jesus would spend time at other planets. Protestant religions run the gamut on belief in aliens, but Weintraub says best apparently give in with the view of Lutheran theologian Paul Tillich that God is everywhere but God's clue for aliens and humans may be separate.
