| Summary: | Applying scientific theology to possible existence of astrobiology, aliens, and Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (ETI) invites constructive analysis along at least four lines of inquiry. First are potential parallels between advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and biological ETI. Second is the extent to which angels offer precedents for thinking about astrobiology given that the Bible, for example, portrays angels as intelligent beings who interact with the natural, physical world. Third are cosmological and eschatological implications about the ends of time and space. Finally, are questions about whether God, as Christians affirm about Jesus, ought to incarnate as—or into—every intelligent life form. |
