(Rome) -- Scientists and religious leaders are gathering this week in Rome for the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences conference.
The group is holding the meeting to study the possibility of alien life.
Experts will offer information on planets discovered outside of our solar system, how life may have started on earth and the geological record of life on earth.
The possible discovery of aliens could pose a problem for the church.
If there are aliens and they looked different than earth's people, how could the idea that God made man in his image hold up? Father Jose Funes, a Jesuit astronomer at the Vatican Observatory.
