NASA enlists 24 theologians to study potential effects of alien contact

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.'
The program aims to answer questions that have baffled us since the begging of time such as what is life? What does it mean to be alive? Where do we draw the line between the human and the alien? What are the possibilities for sentient life in other places?
Now that NASA has two rovers on Mars, several probes orbiting Jupiter and Saturn and is set to launch the James Web Telescope tomorrow that study galaxy, star and planet formation in the universe, it seems that the agency is hopeful it is on the right path to discovering life outside of Earth.
And it needs a little help from above to help those of us living below to understand if that happens.

Dems will just lie about the invasion and use it to consolidate power so feats really the point

They tried this alien bs a few times already, no one is falling for it.

Of course there is life elsewhere. Space is infinite. All those galaxies out there will have life statistically speaking if nothing else.

Wait till they allow Aliens to time warp vote.

James Webb will be able to study planets atmospheres and we will get good enough to find chemical signatures of life. NASA is trying to get out ahead of this because they know it’s only a matter of time before we find hard evidence of life on other planets. We probably won’t find signs of intelligent life right away but I expect that within a year of operation we will have proof of life.

I seem to recall Stephen Hawking comparing Earth potentially reaching out to an alien civilization as the Incas contacting the Spanish 500 years ago.
No bueno.

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.
The telescope will be used to look back to the first galaxies born in the early universe more than 13.5 billion years ago.
The goal of this powerful device is to unravel the mysteries of supermassive black holes, distant alien worlds, stellar explosions, dark matter, and more.

As if we needed any more proof grift in DC is only limited to new ideas and manufactured issues. A big purple mess.

Teedy gonna raise hell if they aren’t masked.

Seems interesting but an unnecessary use of taxpayer dollars.
Posted on 12/26/21 at 7:53 pm to Jim Rockford
There is no one else out there. We would have seen them by now.

Those dumasses are gonna say they represent the entire earth and ultimately end up pissing off the aliens with their bullshite, causing a war of the worlds, fricking us once again.

Demonic beings could assume the form of aliens in order to dissuade people from their faith.
