Description

The search for meaning and significance drives seekers to look far beyond themselves for answers. Theists look up to heaven and praise God for His magnificent Creation, while those who hold a worldview that rejects a divine Creator also probe the heavens in hopes that the answers to the questions about our past origins and future prospects may come from contact with an advanced, extraterrestrial intelligent civilization. What affect will this contact, if it ever occurs, have on the Christian faith as we know it? Will it shatter the core Christian belief in the significance of human beings within the universe and the importance of the Incarnation of the Son of God? Or is there room within the Christian view of Creation and God’s salvific plan for a plurality of intelligent beings within the universe?
