Meh, there's plenty of naturally occurring things, that look 'artificial' to the human eye at first glance.

spoiler etc

Some metallic spheres after entry of a meteoroid into earths atmosphere are not enough unless you explain how they couldn't have formed naturally.

My understanding is that metallic spherules from iron meteorites would be expected to include nickel. The absence of nickel in iron containing spherules like these would usually indicate a non-natural source i.e. human technology. The speed and trajectory of the meteor which may be the source, however, indicates an interstellar origin.

I believe that initial analyses of these spherules has revealed an absence of nickel.

The spherules were recovered from areas in the expected debris zone; none were recovered from the surrounding, control zones.

I am not convinced until someone shows me some actual evidence.

Regardless, I am interested to see how the religious zealots will try to explain aliens when "god created man in his likeness". Oh yeah, did he create aliens in his likeness too? Or will they come up with another "immaculate conception by a ghost"-like crazy explanation noone has every heard about?

I've actually heard religious people talk about the idea of aliens.

Essentially their conclusion was that the bible doesn't rule out aliens because it doesn't say God didn't make other planets with life.

I’m sure I read recently that the Vatican is not against the idea

The Vatican is pretty pro science. It's a lot of the other Christian faiths that are overly strict with their interpretation of the bible.
