"Is NASA actually teaming up with clergy to better prepare terrestrial society for extraterrestrial encounter? Yes. But, it’s old news. The consultation took place during 2016 at Princeton University’s Center for Theological Inquiry. It took the media only a half dozen years to report the story.

Whether old news or new news, the interaction between science and religion as well as the cultural impact of space research are topics on the public theologian’s agenda. Will confirmation of extraterrestrial intelligence precipitate a crisis for terrestrial religion?

Will we earthlings lose our religion?

Cambridge University biologist and theologian Andrew Davison had just the right credentials to ask the question: what can we forecast regarding religious reactions to confirmation that we share our cosmos with intelligent aliens? Davison, who writes frequent editorials for our CTNS journal, Theology and Science, will publish a book on this topic later in 2022. The book? Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine."
