Theology and Science
What will happen to Earth’s religions once we’ve made contact with an extra-terrestrial civilization? Will confirmation of ETI cause terrestrial religion to collapse? “No” is the answer based upon a summary of the “Peters ETI Religious Crisis Survey.” Religious believers are much more ready to share a pew with an alien than we might expect. How should terrestrial theologians react to contact with ETI? We will pose three questions to the newastrotheologian: (1) What is the scope of God’s creation: does it include all stars and all planets? (2) Will ETI be demonic? angelic? or ambiguous? (3) Will contact with more advanced ETI diminish human dignity?
