NASA 'looks to the heavens' for help: Agency enlists 24 theologians to assess how the world would react to the discovery of alien life on distant planets and how it might change our perception of gods and creation

NASA is looking to the heavens for help with assessing how humans will react if alien life is found on other planets and how the discovery could impact our ideas of gods and creation. The agency is hiring 24 theologians to take part in its program at the Center for Theological Inquiry (CTI) at Princeton University in New Jersey, which NASA gave a $1.1 million grant to in 2014.

CTI is described as building 'bridges of under understanding by convening theologians, scientists, scholars, and policymakers to think together - and inform public thinking - on global concerns.'

Well, there is one God, so you can do away with this “gods” nonsense to begin with.

They cannot just leave us alone.

Either they have made some sort of contact

Are getting ready to explain away the Rapture

Will use it to explain The Beast of the Great Deception

In any event, since they are talking to “theologians” about it, for those of faith it will be to forsake our faith.

Math has done no such thing. You pretend to know the mind of God, limiting His Creation to your smaller view.

hiring 24 theologians

Theologian for pay?

Let’s see, that will be 30 pieces of silver.

CTI is described as building ‘bridges of under understanding by convening theologians, scientists, scholars, and policymakers to think together - and inform public thinking - on global concerns.’

The James Web Telescope, which is set to launch Christmas Day, could however change the way we look at the universe and maybe what is written in scriptures of all religions.

It has been described as a ‘time machine’ that could help unravel the secrets of our universe, with distant objects emitting light from further back in time.

Oh, no…the dreaded “So…,” almost always followed by accusing someone of thinking or expressing something not remotely resembling what they actually said or expressed.

I am contemptuous of the “So” game.

Official NASA imagery from Mars Spirit & Curiosity Rovers. Undoubtedly these images contain many unnaturally-produced artifacts plus signs of life.

OK, He did.

And were they given free will?

And did they sin?

And were they sent a Savior?

Is this God trying again after failure on Earth?

Or does He create failing life over and over, to save it over and over?

Or maybe He created a life that did not sin. Does He love them more than we sinners?

Etc.

These theological studies have already been done back in the late 50s. Think Brookings Institute. WhT this means is that the PTB are planning on rolling out ‘the aliens are here—the aliens are here’. Whether real or a globalist Fabian socialist farce—the aliens will be appearing in it in the next couple of years—right on schedule

NASA has achieved it’s main goal.

It’s lost in space.

I seem to recall Billy Graham saying that “Yes, there’s life on other planets, and our God is their God too.” (Paraphrasing).

Since those questions are not answered in the Bible, it would be fitting to assume that they don’t matter. Bible is a blueprint for YOUR Salvation. What God does “out there” is beyond your pay grade.

"Since we seem to find life everywhere on earth, it seems logical that God didn't create a dead universe."

I doubt that God, in His creative acts, is limited by human logic... or even your version of it.

I feel the same about people who think they know everything God has done throughout His extremely large Creation.

It would be so easy to convince the Covidiots that the aliens were invading that I’m surprised they haven’t already tried it. They do seem to be leading up to it with all their military “sightings” and the half assed footage they released that a talented 10 year old could produce. In this day and age when everybody is walking around with a camera on them, a reasoning person would expect to see something more convincing than dots of light in the sky or a black dot on a video screen. The government lies and they always have. Believe anything they say at your peril.

It's main goal?   You mean laundering US taxpayer money to their friends in the cabal while pulling whatever wool over the public's eyes Deep Staters may desire?

How else is the sudden disappearance of the real church going to be explained?

This is nothing more than a conditioning exercise by the dark forces to explain what they already know.

It will even be comforting to those who were not trusting in the Jesus Christ of the Bible, but the one they constructed.
