Are we alone in the universe? It continues to be one of the most asked questions of our age. What implications might the answer have? How might it impact the faith of Christians around the world? Are the truth claims of the Christian religion compatible with the existence of other intelligent life-forms in the universe? What would aliens mean for core Christian beliefs, like the creation of humanity in the image of God, and their redemption through the person and work of Jesus Christ? We’ll explore how prominent Christians throughout history have thought about these questions, and what practical implications it might have for us now as scientists search for fellow creatures in our galaxy and beyond.
