Houston, Do We Have a Problem?: Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life and Christian Belief

Would the existence of extraterrestrial intelligent life (ETI) confl�ict in any way with Christian belief? We identify six areas of potential confl�ict. If there be no confl�ict in any of these areas�and we argue ultimately there is not�we are confident in declaring that there is no confl�ict, period. This conclusion underwrites the integrity of theological explorations into the existence of ETI, which has become a topic of increasing interest among theologians in recent years.
