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 hiring 24 theologians to take part in its program the Center for Theological Inquiry (CTI) at Princeton University

The group will asses how humans will react if alien life is found on other planets and how the discovery will impact our ideas of gods and creation

Dr Andrew Davison, a priest and theologian at the University of Cambridge with a doctorate in biochemistry from Oxford, is among 24 theologians

Davison believes we are getting closer to finding life on other planets
