Cosmos and Covenant: Christianity, Science, and the Possibility of Extraterrestrial Life

To the point

Space exploration challenges science and faith to reckon with humanity’s place in a possibly inhabited cosmos, as Christians debate human uniqueness and whether intelligent life elsewhere could reshape theology, while design arguments, the anthropic principle, and the Drake Equation frame life’s origins with thinkers like C. S. Lewis and Alvin Plantinga weighing how aliens might fit into revelation and salvation centered on Jesus, and a future where creation is liberated and aliens may share in God’s love without diminishing humanity.
