The OP nailed it on this page when he referred to the NASA "religion." I don't necessarily doubt many of the assertions from NASA, particularly regarding material that actually does consist of hard evidence. My problem with modern-day cosmologists is that everything related to outer space has become their religion. They worship science itself and data for the sake of data as being more important than God Himself. Why does that matter? Because too many Catholics are among the crowd of NASA religionists. That includes the believers in "alien creatures" and other such fictions.
If one's career is physicist, astro-physicist, astronomer, etc., than that's your career. But your career is never as important as Almighty God -- knowing Him, loving Him, worshipping Him, not worshipping the skies. We are not to worship His creation but to worship Him because of His creation. Modern scientists love to talk of how mankind is but an insignificant part of the cosmos, and when they say that, they are missing the point: The Cosmos is but a reflection of the immensity of the infinite God who created it.
The other confusion that arises among scientists is that in their speech, they imply that a scientific discovery of some aspect of the created universe is the same as the creation of it. They're confused. Because you discovered something (because God in His generous and permissive Will allowed you to discover some aspect of His beauty or wonder) does not mean that you brought it into being. So they fall in love with their discoveries, imply that those are their own creations, and they subsequently fall in love with their egos.
None of that is Catholic.
