They assert that the discovery of life in multiple planets would prove that the “origin of life from a suitable prebiotic soup of chemical compounds must be so straightforward and easy that it’s not necessary to invoke God as a causal agent (Hugh Ross, Does the Bible say we’re alone in the universe?).”īut, despite the hodge-podge of atheists’ and skeptics’ anti-creationist assertions, recent scientific investigations (what with the advanced state-of-the-art technology like the SETI enterprise) tend to bespeak that we, humans, are alone in the universe.Īlex Berezow, science writer and executive editor of “Big Think” online portal, contends that “the belief that humans eventually will encounter aliens is based on two assumptions: 1) that life evolves easily and, 2) that interstellar travel is possible and practical but neither of these two assumptions is likely to be true.” These scientific SETI efforts invariably seek to answer a question posed since time immemorial: Are we alone in the universe? Or are there other extraterrestrial beings elsewhere?Ītheists and skeptics have argued that the discovery of extraterrestrial life of any kind would be disastrous to Christian faith. China’s 500-meter (1,600-foot diameter) Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), the largest radio telescope in the world was built as a core scientific goal and has been employed for SETI.
